When I Started:
May, 2001
How I Started:
I started working out after a year in school after my knee surgeries. I was in a lot of pain in both knees as well as in my back. I was a poor college student and did not eat very nutritionally. My body was suffering and I was in pain a lot. I knew that I needed to develop my quads and back muscles in order to strengthen my body to relieve the pain. I decided that I would join a gym and then began going between 5-7 days a week. I have since been able to maintain my knee's health as well as my whole body. I am healthier when I work out and feel more energetic. I tend to experience pain somewhere in my body when I am not consistent with working out.
Why I Love It:
I love feeling strong and being able to not be held back, from playing with my daughter, or playing sports with other people, or doing physical labor. I enjoy the confidence that I feel when I am in shape, with being able to do so much as well as confidence in not feeling embarrassed by my body or limitations.
How I Stay Motivated:
My body tends to hurt without regular exercise. I always try to do basics at home, so when I cannot go to the gym, such as lunges, arms, etc. It is not much but it is something to keep my body moving, clears my mind and helps with flexibility.
I want to drop the extra pounds, about 15, and tone up my body. I am also wanting to train for a marathon and develop my lung capacity to succeed.
Goal (Long):
I want to run a marathon and meet my previous goal of 1 mile in 8 minutes or less by May 2009. I want to develop strength in my upper body and tone up all over. I want to drop approximately 15 pounds and regain my energy and eating habits. I want to be active and energetic so that I can go on hikes and do other forms of cardio without losing breath so easily. I have always wanted to compete in body building competitions as well as power lifting. I want to confidence of being comfortable with my body and being a role model to others around me. I want to bench 75 pounds in 6 months and leg press 430 (previous highest weight was 425). I want to drop the belly I have and show other moms that you can have kids and have a nice tummy!
