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

While I recommend sticking to a nutrient plan, exercise should be a regular part of your day, like brushing your teeth, eating, and sleeping. It can be in gym class, joining a sports team, or working out on your own.

How does fitness positively influence your life?

The confidence I get from exercise is not just vanity. Sure, I like how I look and enjoy making progress, but the confidence I get runs deeper than that. There's something about reaching small goals that motivates you in other areas in your life as well.

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

A lot of things are coming to mind. I would definitely considering putting some a side and opening a gym.
