A Little About Me

I am an NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Performance Enhancement Specialist with an MS in Exercise Science. I am also a 200 Hr Certified Yoga Instructor with training from the world renowned Yogaworks. I believe that exercise is a healing tool for the mind and body that allows for self expression, stress relief and balance.

I also walk the walk as a National Bikini Competitor and Fitness Model. It is my goal to educate, inspire and motivate! Check out my website at www.healthandfitnessexpert.com

When I Started Working Out

I started working out very young, if you call running around the house ("like a maniac" as my mom would say) when I was a toddler working out...well, I was burning a lot of calories. So I guess that counts right :)

How I Started

Drill team, gymnastics, track and field and then I graduated to fitness videos.... As I got older (and busier) my time for working out became increasingly shorter so videos were the key. Every month I'd get a new set, I eventually started using an Xbox video game that centered around working out.

Why I Love It

Working out forces me to challenge myself mentally and physically. When the workout is over I feel like I have the strength to do anything!

How I Stay Motivated

I stay motivated by always focusing on a goal whether that is the next competition or mastering a difficult yoga pose.

My Worst Injury

My worst injury was a pulled groin muscle that happened in high school.

I Would Love To Meet

People that live in the moment, that value the present and step away from the status quo to embrace their individuality.

Bodyparts (Opposite Sex)

The well chisled male six pack is a work of art. Kudos to those that have one as you are making the world a beautiful place. The male gluteus maximus is also a prize but one cannot forget about the bicep (or maybe the whole arm) but legs are also great and even the back...... Okay, fine I'll stop because believe me I can go on all day, its so hard to pick a single body part.

Bodyparts (Yours)

Abs, Legs

Exercises

Lunges, Sun Salutations (especially the Chatarangha or "tricep push up" as its known on the gym floor is an amazing feat of strength and grace can you calm your breath while holding the pose), Dynamic Warrior 3 (or a dynamic/repetitive 1 legged deadlift aka stork stance on the gym floor), and hanging leg lifts for abs (these cut/define my abs like no other).
