I got sick of just doing cardio. After years of that, my brother introduced me to lifting. I fell in love with it pretty quickly. It's been 2.5-3 years since I started. I've had a couple lower back issues that have caused a few set back. Squats have become my favorite challenge. I started out in the garage, where we're lucky enough to own our own squat rack, but I've recently started going to a local gym 4 to 5 times a week. There's more motivation there. I love it SO much that I'm studying to become an NASM certified personal trainer.

I feel happier, healthier and more confident!
