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

Small steps in the right direction are better than trying to take one haphazard leap. Self-care, fitness, focusing on quality nutrition are key factors in it all. Surround yourself with like-minded people that support your goals.

How does fitness positively influence your life?

It has been a part of my life for my entire lifetime. It's given me a career, kept my body feeling and looking great, and it's helped me reach people around the world and inspire them to live a more active, healthy, pain-free life.

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

I'd invest it in my business to continue to grow and share MELT with more people worldwide.
