I was always athletic as a teen and young adult. Once I was about twenty five years old I stopping putting in the effort. I was not aware just how much the team sports I had been playing on helped my body stay in shape. This spring I was approaching my 34th birthday and decided that I wanted to change my life. I went to the Alberta Northerns Body Building Competition to watch, learn and get motivated. Now this lifestyle change has become my biggest hobby as well as a healthy choice!

I feel good mentally after working out. The confidence it gives is great. I love a challenge and the competition I have with myself. Most of all I love the feeling, the stress release, the body confidence and even the burn!
