My Fitness Story & Journey
When I was younger, I was overweight and had very bad body image issues. I didn't know how to overcome these feelings until I decided to try running in high school. After that first run, something changed me. I felt so great and wanted to keep doing it over and over. That's when I realized that fitness was going to help me mentally and physically be the best version of myself.
I started running 3-4 times a week and saw the weight coming off. It felt so good to finally see results, but I knew I needed to build more muscle. That's when my love for weight lifting started. I joined a gym for the first time in college and did some workouts that I had seen online from fitness influencers. This changed the game for me and I became totally in love with lifting weights. Fast forward years later, I'm now in my 20s and in the best shape I've ever been in. My confidence and self-esteem have skyrocketed and I can finally say I love my body.
