I started working out on my 50th birthday. I bent over to tie my shoes and was completely out of breath. My cholesterol was high, my blood pressure was a little high, I had just had a second breast cancer scare. I decided it was now or never, so I began making lifestyle changes to improve my health and quality of life.

I love working out because it makes me feel like I have control over my body. I decide what to eat and when to workout and I can see the changes that those decisions create.
