In the beginning, Michell started by working out three times a week at the gym. She slowly worked herself up to five days a week, doing both cardio and weightlifting. As her work and school schedule changed, she began to go to the gym less frequently, around three to four times a week, but she tried to incorporate being more active into her daily life. She made sure to go on more walks when she had time, and sometimes did a quick 20- or 30-minute workout at home if she was short on time.
