“Tonight, on annesmiles.com we take a look at how you can have fun with fitness. Now welcome your host, Aaaaaaaaaaanne Kvavaouop!!”
Imagine that being sad by a TV speaker with an awesome voice, rather than me sitting alone in my bedroom, covered by a blanket.
That’s not my last name by the way, it’s just impossible to pronounce in English.
Putting the bad jokes away for a second, I had the honour of hosting the twitter chat #Fitbunnieschat today – and it was a blast! This community is just amazing.
There were some interesting and helpful answers from everyone participating, and I’ve picked a couple I want to share with you in case you missed the chat.

If you missed the chat, I’d love to hear your answers in the comments!
Since you made it all the way to the end, you may as well follow on Instagram as it’s the place to be!
But their algorithm is a mystery so maybe sign up for the newsletter to never miss a post! ✨
Awesome! And nice that you did it 🙂 not sure if I wouldn’t be too afraid to say something wrong … xD Oh yes, English and foreign names that usually doesn’t go very well. English has it’s very specific way of pronounciation and usually native speakers have a lot of trouble with other languages, same goes for French. I guess it goes back to all those language groups. I wonder if I could pronounce it, lol 🙂 I probably could if I heard it first. I’m basically a parrot and can mimic people’s accents. But now I went off-topic too much, I’m sorry! You asked good questions and got nice and good responses 🙂
Thanks Mel! It can sometimes be a challenge to make your point 100% clear in less than 140 characters, but everyone is so kind I don’t think it can really go wrong 🙂 That’s a really cool talent, I can’t even do a proper english accent! Haha 😀 x
I caught the end of the chat, but I am so there next week! It looked amazing, and exactly the kind of people I wanna chat with : ) Your questions were awesome!
Steph x.
I love it, everyone is always so supportive! Thank you – I look forward to chatting with you in a week x
Your website is adorable! I wish I had known about this chat- I’m going to have to make sure to follow you so I can participate in the next one! 😉
I’m so lazy when it comes to the motivation to workout, when I workout with a group I find it so much easier to be motivated. I must admit though, since I bought my Fitbit I’ve been much more active than I was last year!

Thank you Lindsey! You’re not alone when it comes to that, it’s easier when you have someone to motivate and support you! It’s great that the fitbit helps you too x
I’m so glad that I saw this post – I never knew this chat existed and it is right up my street!
When it comes to fitness I am the gadget and app queen, I love tracking and analysing my stats!

I think it’s such a great way of meeting awesome people and getting motivation for the new week 🙂
What are your favorite app?
I love your writing style! I have been meaning to join the #fitnessbunnieschat to get a little bit more motivated but haven’t made it yet 😉 Will you be hosting more? I will be starting BBG 1 in Feb so I’ll be sure to join in the chat once I’m actually working out. Thanks for posting!
Aw thank you Cortney! I definitely want to do it again, but I haven’t picked a date yet. I’ll look forward to seeing you there! x
yeaaaaaaaaaah I was included by the ultimate and lovely Anne Kvavaouop 😛 (My last name can’t neither be spelled nor pronounced in English, so we’re in the same boat here)
I loved the chat, you make a great host 🙂 Will you host again, some time soon?
xx
Haha you’re so sweet <3 I don't know, it's hard to plan so far in advance, but I'd love to do it again 🙂
I’m so sad I missed that chat! I’m aiming to get my fitness a lot better this year! I’ve been going to the gym 3-4 times a week and eating really well! 🙂
Great blog, definitely a new reader!
