I grew up playing sports, though I was a skinny kid. I got bullied sometimes and this killed my self-confidence. As such I enrolled in martial arts to build that self-confidence, and started exercising my behind off. I was on a quest to become better, both physically and mentally, and I have never looked back. In 2010, I started competing in bodybuilding/fitness. Working towards a goal helped me push beyond my comfort zone for progress, and through this I not only learned to exercise the right way to prevent injury, but healthier eating for a healthier lifestyle. People see fitness from different perspectives. To me fitness is not about the image, but about a healthier lifestyle to allow me to spend more quality time with my loved ones.

It provides overall well being, both physical and mental.
