Growing up, I was always
active, loved playing sports & keeping busy. Fun time for me,
was playing outside, running around, not sitting in front of the TV,
or playing video games. Throughout highschool, I still kept active,
playing baseball, hiking, attempting track – it wasn't a strong
things for me. But once college hit, that changed. I got busy with
studying more, eating less healthy, and my activity level dropped
right down. By the time I was done college, I had to lay on my bed,
sucking in my stomach, just to try and do up my pants! Things needed
to change.
I started to research
exercise programs. I really wanted to join a gym & get a
trainer, but the only gym in my home town seemed to be more geared
towards meat-heads, not the general population. So, home workouts it
was! I tried a variety of different things from Tae Bo to yoga. And
it kept me going for awhile. I was very diligent on exercising and
making changes. I started to pay more attention to my eating habits,
and noticed where I was going wrong.
Then, and old friend of mine
opened a new gym in our home town. I immediately joined, and soon
found myself going everyday. Not only was I going, seeing changes,
but I was loving it! I never thought the day would come that I would
say that I feel in love with exercising! When I moved later that
year, into a city, I kept it up. I got a trainer, who gave me a
great program, that the body changes kept coming.
People started commented on
the changes I had made, and started asking me for advice. I was
getting asked my opinions on workouts, meals, supplements. I
realized how much I enjoyed being able to help them with their
questions. How good it felt to be the one they trusted with their
concerns, and their journey towards a healthier lifestyle. It just
seemed like becoming a personal trainer was the natural choice, the
best choice. To this day, nothing feels better than to watch someone
tansform and reach their goals. And knowing they did it with my
guidance.
