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

Do what feels right for you. Everyone is different and what works for me may not work for you. Listen to your body and start by eating healthy. That is truly the hardest part of staying in shape.

How does fitness positively influence your life?

I love to wake up each morning and start my day with the gym. It relieves stress, gives me energy for the day ahead, helps me to see things in a positive light and drastically improves my mood.

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

Go to the beach and of course purchase a whole new workout wardrobe!!
