How has being consistent with your fitness benefited you? There’s sothing better and more satisfying than looking in the mirror and loving what you see. It’s a lifestyle for me now and is even incorporated with my job. What do your family or friends think of your fitness habits? The fam is on board. I run with my mom and we love to work out together. My dad works out on the golf course! Lol. What challenges have you overcome to maintain your fitness? I love food. Balance is everything. I’m starting to feel some cricks coming up on 30 too. What advice would you give someone who is just starting their fitness journey? Trust the process! Patience and consistency is key. Also, just because you ate bad one day or didn’t get to the gym, it’s okay. Tomorrow is another day, so get back after it. .
