GET READY!!!...TO GET STRONGER THAN YOU HAVE EVER BEEN!!!
Hello, and Welcome to Esthercise!
​
My name is Esther Harrier (Lemke), and I grew up on a one hundred acre farm in the mid-west, where I learned about hard work at a very early age; the work included growing a vegetable and fruit garden , raising your own live stock for animal protein, and gardening 5 acres that we lived on.
​
​
Growing up on a farm required a lot of activity and movements. Since working hard and being active became part of my life, I decided to join the basketball team in middle school and became the "center" position on the team. I also developed a passion for running, since I could use the entire gravel road that we grew up on, to run. I then peaked an interest in joining the track team; I was an OK runner, but it doesn't matter if your are Olympic material or not, if you enjoy a sport then "just do it." This is where running became my sport.
​
I enjoyed running for many years until an injury while running slowed me down; I was hit by a pick-up truck that missed a red light in an intersection. My running days came to a halt for a while. However, that didn't stop me. One year later I beat my marathon time by one hour; after much rehabilitation and a ton of training.
​
The injury did pose a hip problem, which lead me to physical therapy. It was during the rehabilitation that I became interested in physical rehabilitation and strength training.
Rehab peaked my interest so much that I decided to go back to school to acquire my kinesiology and physical rehabilitation degree.
​
Side Note...
​
I attended California State University, Fullerton where I earned my degree in Kinesiology.
​
I also attended Loma Linda University where I studied Physical Therapy in the Physical Therapy Assistant Program.
​
I was employed at The Anaheim Police Department where I trained police officers and worked with the in-house physical therapist treating injured police officers.
​
I was on staff at the California State University, Fullerton Wellness Department where I worked with geriatric patients with a myriad of disabilities.
​
I spent one year as an intern at Kaiser Hospital Physical Therapy Department, where I learned how to treat a myriad of physical disabilities,
​
I was employed at 24 Hour Fitness as the top trainer, due to my ability to get results and help heal injuries.
​
I was employed at FMS Health and Safety where I worked with California Edison workers rehabilitating their injuries and working on flexibility due to their line of manual labor.
​
I spent 4 years studying to become a level 2 Integrative health practitioner in nutrition, specifically gut health, at the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute, studying under the guidance of Dr. Stephan Cabral, Board Certified Naturopath.
​
I love reading about the latest research regarding health, fitness, and nutrition.
​
I am also a Flight Attendant who is a trainer for a few of my fellow co-workers. I love to travel and see the world and other cultures.

Blessings,
