When did you fall in love with fitness and
why? I have always loved to exercise since I
was a little girl. I fell in love with running
when I joined my high school track team. I was
a Cross Country and mid distance
runner.Going through College and Graduate
school I became consumed by my
studieswhich made it difficult to make time
for the gym.About 5 years ago I went to my
first bodybuilding competition and fell back in
love with fitness. I initially attended because
my Husband was a competitor along with 2
other ladies who he had trained for the
competition.During the bodybuilding
completion I was amazed byall of their
physiques and inspiring weight loss stories.
This inspired me to not just be a spectator of
the sport but to actually compete. With a
weight loss goal in mind of my own I started
training and lost 45lbs in the preparation
process.
