Why
did you become interested in fitness?
I first began working out at the age of 15 at a local gym, which
I paid for with my allowance money. I have always been a tomboy
and I wanted to be just as big and strong as my older brother.
I wanted to be able to do anything he could do. Now I workout
more for the pure enjoyment and health benefits. In addition,
weight training has totally resculpted my physique. When I was
younger, I use to be all hips with narrow little shoulders.
What
other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
Free-style dancing, scuba diving, and rollerblading
Additional Notes
I am especially grateful for the ongoing support of my friend
and family, which has help to drive me down this challenging,
but highly rewarding path.

is not about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself"
