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

Surround yourself with winners! Accountability is so important. When you spend time with people on a similar mission, it motivates and inspires you to bring your best daily!

How does fitness positively influence your life?

Fitness had been such a crucial part of my addiction recovery. I will celebrate 10 years sober this Fall and the gym has been a major component of my success. Anytime I am having a tough day, I can work through those emotions picking up some heavy weights and sweating it out! Fitness has introduced me to the most amazing network of friends as well.

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

I would love to take my 3 sons on a vacation! I would also pay off some student loan debt :/
