» How does exercising make you feel?
“I have a busy, hectic life with being a full-time employee and mom of twins and wife along with coaching others, so when I get my time to put on my favorite playlist and just follow along with my favorite trainers, it really lets me focus on me. I also feel so much stronger and full of energy.”
» What is your advice to encourage others to exercise?
“Some of you may be reading and thinking, ‘She is young’ or ‘She was a former athlete,’ but honestly, I started at the lowest part of my health. I was eating fast food for every meal, and I was out of breath just going to the grocery store. You can do it. You just have to decide to start.
