I played Volleyball and Basketball starting in Junior High. I learned the basics of conditioning early on, then was introduced to weight lifting my Junior year in High School. I quickly fell in love and started to see results in my body as well as increased lifting strength.

Working out lifts me from my normal state of mind. I can focus on me and only me. I like to push myself with weights and introduce new forms of training to change up the routine. Monotony is not my thing. Change is my fuel for continuing on. Plus, I like to watch my body change over time and know that it's under my control. I used to be very skinny, which I thought was great. Once I started lifting regularly I felt more attractive. I put on close to 30 pounds, but I lost body fat. Now I have a booty and some shoulders. ;0)
