My family is pretty big into fitness, especially when they were younger. When I was a little kid, I remember being in the basement when my father would workout in our home gym. I always tried to pick up the weights and help him, but at the time, I could barely lift the 10 pound dumbbells! So, since I was introduced to it at an early age, it kind of stuck with me and I started working out when I was a teenager.

Why do I love bodybuilding/fitness/working out? Well, it’s simple. Being active, lifting weights, playing sports and eating right are all ways to better yourself and be healthier now and in the future. Who wouldn’t want to be healthy? Plus, there's nothing more rewarding than working hard at something and seeing positive results. This is even more true when it's your own body!
