I was the cheerleader, always complaining that the other girls were standing around gossiping when we could be practicing! Growing up I was always in dance classes, then swimming and diving in high school. I began actually working out when a friend joined the first "globo" gym in our town and wanted a partner. I got hooked on aerobics classes because of the dance background, but one day tried the weights, never looked back!

Ok I admit I'm just as bad at getting myself to work out, I can think of a million excuses to not go to the gym, but the feeling afterwards is what I look forward to. It feels so great and that is what I focus on. Also, when I'm getting ready for a special date or event when I want to look good, I always try to set my goals on that event so I can reward all my hard work with some fun!
