I have had a gym membership for a while, but after constantly feeling groggy and tired, I decided to make a lifestyle change. I want to be fit and healthy for my husband, my son, and set a good example for what a healthy lifestyle is.

I don't plan on bodybuilding, but I have found exercising is a great stress reliever for me. I go to cardio classes 5 days a week and enjoy the hour to myself focused on being the best I can be. I love how strong the weight-training makes me feel. It is empowering to see the weight number and repetition go up each time.
