Learning of a slightly concerning heart issue, I began tinkering in the gym to better my health. After doctor's started telling me that I was starting to reverse my heart problem, of course I wanted to work out more. Searching the infamous YouTube site for routines I found myself falling in love with the passion and relationship that body builders had for the pain and progress. Not long after, I made the conscious decision that I was going to step into the world that fascinated me. The world of physique competitors!

It saved my life literally!! However outside of necessity, I LOVE lifting in all aspects. I love the beginning when I come into the gym bouncing off the walls. I love the pump and the pain that comes when I'm fighting through fatigue. I love the exhaustion when I'm walking out the door. And I get so excited as I watch my body transform. Really? What is there NOT to love?
