Why are you excited for 2012 Fittest Fitness Pro?
As a fitness advocate, I have been waiting for an opportunity to compete for purpose. I am so fortunate to be nominated for this chance.
What is your strategy for staying fit with your demanding schedule?
I plan to get a personal trainer at least once a week. Yes, trainers need trainers. The reason personal training is so effective is because you can’t push yourself harder than someone else can.
What is your current favorite workout to do and why?
My favorite workout right now is Olympic lifting. It’s explosive, power demanding movements pushes me beyond my comfort zone. I need to go beyond my comfort zone to do well in this competition.
What is your favorite gym, studio, or fitness class in Austin?
I love our studio (FX Fitness) but I really enjoy CrossFit Woodward. Great trainers there.
Why is being a fit fitness pro important to you?
I am a walking billboard. People trust me to guide them to better health. I maintain a fit lifestyle to maintain my integrity as a Christian and as a leader in my business.
What is your largest fitness accomplishment in the past year?
My largest fitness accomplishment would have to be becoming a lululemon athletica ambassador. They choose 10 people a year who influence the community through their passion in health and fitness AND living a fit lifestyle. It’s highly competitive and I am blessed for the nomination.
Give one piece of advice to others looking to get fit and healthy as a busy professional.
It’s all about integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking. You know what healthy decisions are, so don’t make the bad ones. Lead your body, do not let your body lead you.
What is your favorite healthy meal?
I love my chorizo and egg whites in the morning with a glass of almond milk.
