Fitness

What does fitness mean to me?  For me, it means everything!  It is my life that I have founded myself.  My most innovated ideas sparks in my mind when I am engaging in physical activity.  Fitness weaves and builds me back together after it is torn apart.  It is a piece of the puzzle that made me a Marine, son, brother, student, professional, and civilian.

I learned to become motivated, trusting,committed,  loving, passionate, and sharp because I lead a healthy and fit lifestyle.  It was also my first step into self discovery.  It provides me an opportunity to overcome barriers and break through those tough walls.  Every workout is a challenge and opportunity for growth and self discovery. It is a lifetime commitment in which once you start you will never look back.

When someone asks me what is the best way to get fit.  I tell them find a purpose and meaning to get fit. Do it for the people you love, to create lasting impacts that may benefit yourself and others.  Start with the small, realistic, and attainable goals.  Enjoy the journey of Constant and Never Ending Improvement.

During college, I worked as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor.  I was addicted to the feeling of helping others achieve their fitness goals.   There is no greater satisfaction when you influence someone doing something you love.  I love fitness and I love helping others.  I set the example by ensuring I stay mentally and physically strong and committed to always improve myself and train for a purpose.
