Bio:  I wanted to share my story.  I am fit and 40.  I have two amazing boys.  I love being fit! When I was in my 20's I was skinny.
When I was in my 30's I was skinnier. When I had my children, I was told by several people that I wouldn't ever get back to pre-pregnancy size. I thought that was ridiculous.  I wanted to prove each and every one of those people wrong.  After 2 c-sections, I worked by butt off literally.  I wanted to be fit, not skinny. I love the way muscles look on females.  It breaks my heart when females tell me that they don't want to be to big and bulky from lifting.  We can't! We are females!

I am a Personal trainer at a Corporate facility.  I find the happiest of people who walk through the door at the gym.  I love my profession and wouldn't change it for the the world. My advice to any Mom, get out there and grab a dumbbell.  You will love the way you look and reshape your body. It isn't all about Cardio day in and day out.  Yes, you will be lean.  Add some muscle to keep those calories burning.

Favorite Quote(s): 'If you fail and quit trying, how do you know if you'll ever succeed.'

Nutrition / Supplements: Dymatize - I love the flavor.  I share all my recipes with friends and family using their protein powder.

Training:
Heavy one day split lighter on others with high reps.  Keep my body guessing. Cardio teaching Bootcamp classes.

What separates Status from any other fitness magazine: What a wealth of information to help trainers with ideas!
