Excel Wellness

Kara Cunningham, Liberty’s mom is a proud sponsor of the Pegasus Riders via her highly successful business Excel Wellness. It focuses on three key elements: Health, Wealth, and Lifestyle! She is able to travel with us due to her business!! Quote from Kara, “The eXcel Wellness health system is INCREDIBLE and has completely changed my life!! When I jumped on board in 2011, I was tired, overweight, achy and had no confidence. I lost 75 pounds in less than five months with this system!! I did the first 50 pounds without exercise, but then I felt better and exercise was easier than ever before (especially using some of our products to help with athletic performance)! Now, I have more energy and confidence! It was THE BEST gift I could’ve given my family. They have their momma back and I found me, again, and am able to give the people I love the most my best me! My mission is to now help as many others eXcel in their health and wellness by using this highly effective system which is SIMPLE & SUSTAINABLE!”
