How Did You Get Started?

Fitness and exercise have always been a part of my life. I was a dancer/cheerleader since I was six years old. Exercise was a daily ritual. I can remember being six years old and going with my mom to the local community center to do aerobics. I would be the only child in the group of thirty year old ladies doing Jane Fonda Aerobics. How fun!!

That was the beginning of loving fitness. However, I started lifting seriously within the last 18 months due to the fact that I let myself go and I was starting to develop some health issues. I've worked in the health industry for the last twelve years and I would catch myself educating clients on how to maintain and live a healthy lifestyle but I wasn't following any of my own advice.

So I decided it was time to get back into the gym and get healthy. So I did! I work out four times a week, eat healthy, spend time with my family and keep my stress level low! And I couldn't be HAPPIER!

Why Do You Love Fitness?

Why not? There is not a reason not to. Simple fact - it makes me feel and look awesome! Plus it gives me longevity!

What Motivates You To Follow A Healthy Lifestyle?

Honestly I motivate myself and everyone else around me to get healthy, be healthy, and get strong. But the true motivation came from reading Dr. Howard Murad's book "The Water Secret". It really inspired me to make changes in my life and my family's life so we can live a long vibrant life.

What Made You Want To Achieve Your Goals?

Just the change in my outlook on life made me get serious! And once I saw the change in my mind and my body and my family that it just pushed me to do more!

To get stronger, more flexible and more ripped, and to hopefully be in some magazines! But most importantly to inspire more people to get serious about being healthy and enjoy doing it!
