What motivates and/or inspires you to workout, diet and compete in fitness?

I have always been average and for once in my life I want something to work for to feel accomplished. Ever since I started training, I have learned on how to balance my life, from work to family to fitness. As much as I love this sport there are many things that I enjoy doing for example being a mom is always going to be first in my book, I take my daughter to gymnastics, movies and the park. We have a Siberian husky, he is the best sprint partner ever and a boyfriend that has been there for me since day one. I am also a painter when I have free time, I paint Walking Dead (favorite show) and comic art. As mentioned earlier my favorite show is the Walking Dead and American Horror story.

What are your top six favorite workout songs?

When it comes to music while I'm working out it depends on what mood I am in, little John usually is what I listen to if I have an intense work out in the morning, which by the way I wake up at 4:30 in the morning to have the afternoon for my daughter but if I'm doing cardio I have Breaking Benjamin's on my Pandora station, sometimes I like to imagine that I'm being chased by zombies as you can tell I have a very livid imagination.

I come from a family that believes in staying young because age is nothing but a number.

Please share anything additional that you’d like people to know about you.

Pardon my English. I am from Puerto Rico :)

Stats: I weigh 98 pounds.
