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

There are many different diets and workout plans out there. I always say choose the ones you can make a lifestyle and not just a fad. Making exercise a habit is one of the best things you can do for yourself and family. I try to lead by example for the people close to me with being able to work full time, have plenty of time with my family and finding time to workout. It’s all about what you make a priority to live a healthy mental and physical life.

How does fitness positively influence your life?

“Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body”- Arnold Schwarzenegger

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