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

Honestly just do what you love! If you like weights, lift, if you like running, run. Nothing sucks more than dreading a workout, and there’s no secret workout to becoming fit, just consistency in some type of activity. Do it because you want to!

How does fitness positively influence your life?

I personally have body image issues, so it has helped me become more comfortable in my own body. I still have hard days, but going for a run, or lifting, or doing a quick HIIT workout makes me feel so much better. I love doing what i love and seeing differences in not only my physical health and image, but also my mental health!

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

I would use it to pay for my college tuition. I am an upcoming freshman in college and $20,000 would help a ton, and I would not have to take out as large of a loan:)
