I have been in school, earning my various degrees and certifications, for ten years. I always told myself when I was finished improving my mind, I would improve my body. I finished school in December and started dedicating my time to working out in January.
Why I Love It:
I love the physical challenge, the visable results, and all the research and science associated with fitness/bodybuilding.
How I Stay Motivated:
I have always been the nerdy, book-smart girl that was noticed for her mind, I am enjoying this new attention I am getting for my body; that is very motivating.
What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
Music motivates me; I listen to the most upbeat songs I can on the way into the gym and through out my workout.
