Background

When I Started: Mar 2010
HOW I STARTED:

I've worked out my whole life, but I never lifted weights until I started working here.

WHY I LOVE IT:

It's definitely a different kind of workout than what I've been used to. I have always done cardio (dancing/running/yoga, etc.), which I still crave, but I love the combination of building muscle and getting my sweat on.

My Workout Program View My Full Workout Program

Weights + Cardio + Stretching = A Happy, Healthy, Fit Body

I'm a big believer in a well-balanced workout program, similar to a well-balanced diet. In order to change your body, I think weights are a must.

My Nutrition Program View My Full Nutrition Program

I used to think it was think nutrition played a small role in your health and physique...

Food is everything! Well, not everything, but close. I have experienced first hand what a vital role clean eating plays in reaching your physical and health goals. Stay away from processed foods, if you can't pronounce it, don't eat it and fill your diet with bold-colored, fresh foods! You will thank yourself in the future!

After a weekend of living it up sunny Las Vegas, I'm ready to put down the fork and pick up the weights.  Along with my husband and our friend Xanti, I started the Kris Gethin trainer today.

Chip times are in and...damn you, Robie! After 5 years of running it, this was going to be my last Race to Robie Creek...also known as "The Hardest 1/2 Marathon in the West". I'm not a fast runner, I know this, but I like to set my personal goals, and each year have beat my own time. This year, my goal up the beastly mountain was 2:30:00.
