Fitness

All my life, I have been a very active person. As a child, I played multiple sports: volleyball, basketball, soccer, and track and field. After graduating high school, my active lifestyle took a step backwards. It was not until the summer after my second year of college that I started to become active again. My activity of choice? Running.

Workouts:

During an average week, I workout six days with one day of rest. On three of those days, I run and the other three days I devote to cross-training. On the day of rest, I still try to remain active whether it is going for a walk, exploring a park, or just a long day of shopping. I try to keep it fun! I am currently in the process of becoming an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and hope to have my certification by December 2012!

Running:

My number one favorite form of exercise is running. The best part of my week is a long run or race on a Saturday morning. Running makes me feel confident, strong, and beautiful. A few years ago, I couldn’t imagine ever liking running. Now, I am obsessed and can’t go a day without thinking about it!

Training:

I am a big fan of planning workouts and I love training with a goal in sight! It can be a 5K, half-marathon, or even a triathlon.

Playlists:

I love music and I love listening to music while I workout. It helps me zone out and push myself when the going gets tough! A good playlist can make or break a workout! Since I workout six days a week, I am constantly changing and adding music to my playlist.
