I started working out by myself when I was 18 attending community college.  I went in the army when I was 20 and ended up teaching step aerobics classes while stationed in Korea.  Funny thing about that is, I was always so uncoordinated! However, I caught on to teaching exercise really quick.  Instructing / teaching always came so easy to me.  Probably because I loved working out, motivating people and myself, and it just felt good when you were helping people get healthy.

​

My fitness background consists of lifting weights and attending classes at local gyms, cross fit, hot yoga, cycling, hiking, running, etc..... I have moved on now to having my own gym in my garage.  I miss people though.  I miss working out beside people and that friendly competition with yourself, the clock or the person next to you.

I have tried practically every healthy eating program out there. I have actively pursued researching what my body enjoys and agrees with what I choose to eat.  I have mostly eliminated sugar and flour from my diet.  I very rarely consume dairy or foods that have multiple preservatives and additives in them.  My body responds with getting very sluggish and tired.  So, I listen to her. :-) This took time, patience and consistency and now has become part of my everyday life.
