What would you recommend to others who want to be fit and healthy?

Find something that makes you happy! For me, it was weight lifting however it could be sports, dance, walking, swimming or anything else. If you love what you do you will stick to it.

How does fitness positively influence your life?

Fitness makes me feel strong emotionally and physically. Growing up I was always told that guys were stronger and smarter than girls. Once I discovered weightlifting I realized that it was more important to me to be strong and competent than skinny. Fitness gave me the confidence I needed for life. I started being able to lift the same amount of weight as men in the gym and eventually more. Trust me they didn't like, lol. 😂

If you were the next Ms Health and Fitness, what would you do with $20,000?

I would put the money towards buying a hobby horse farm. For my pony Khaleesi I am currently boarding at a stable.
