Started working out as a requirement for athletics, and haven't looked back ever since.

Working out is so rewarding on so many levels. It's a great start to my day, giving me the fuel I need to make it throughout a difficult shift. Lifting weights brings about so much confidence as well. The more comfortable I am with my body, the more comfortable/confident I am in every-day life. I think my favorite part though is being able to track your progress after years and years of exhausting training regimens, and watch yourself (quite literally) grow closer and closer to your goal. We're so lucky to have websites like bodybuilding.com that allow us to document our bodybuilding journeys.
