I came into fitness facing motivational struggles of my own. Overcoming those wasn’t easy, especially when I didn’t see my own body changing in the ways that my education taught me it should. My education and my own experiences have helped me understand how each body is different and how this alone can make so many people feel discouraged when they don’t see the results they want. I also understand how to nurture those limitations and assist the body to develop to its fullest potential.
I continue to face my struggles with fitness every day. I am always on the quest to find the exercise that is right for me, the one that feels good. I'm finally able to call exercise my hobby, but that doesn't keep me from having unmotivated days.
Something has happened along the way, though. I believe in my body now…and that feels good.
