When I was 8, I developed asthma. I couldn't run in a PE assessment run as a result. Some boy asked me why I wasn't run (I was walking at the time). I told him I had asthma and replied back "SO?" and ran off. It has changed my life. Since then, I have been geared to living a healthier life.

I feel great when I feel a pump in my muscles. It also helps relieve stress. I love the strength I gain from weight lifting.....so it give me a sense of empowerment.

I realized we have areas we hate on our body. Weight lifting can help a person change part of those "areas". Currently working on making my waist tighter!!
