What advice would you give your younger
self about starting in the fitness
industry and what guides you now?
For everyone beginning their fitness
journey, it’s important to build a solid
mental foundation, not just a physical
one. Getting to your ideal or goal body
is a journey that is full of hardship,
commitment, and some pain. If you don’t
have a solid mental foundation, you will
fail from the start. Find a “why” that will
drive you and keep you focused to get
to your final goal. When I finally found
my “why”, my driving force, everything
improved from there.
What drives me now is my hunger to see
how far I can push my body, to see how
disciplined I really am, and to see how
much I still believe in my “why”. Never
forget where and why you started and
believe in it until the end.
