I also find it VERY important to mix foods up, be creative, and focus on health!
Favorite Supplement: Supplement use is an essential part of any successful Fitness Regimen! My favorite supplements as of now would have to be MAN Sports™ Clout™ and Body Octane™, these two products allow me to constantly be recovering and ready for WHATEVER is thrown my way! I take one serving of each 5 hours before Training and again 30 minutes prior! On hard Training Days I will add in an additional serving of each before bed! I love how I can actually feel the difference within minutes, yet it lasts for hours!
Q & A and Interests:
What Peaked Your Interest In Training? My parents were and are both still very active and healthy; so I learned from an early age the importance of Fitness! Seeing that by adhering to the 3 D’s; Discipline, Drive, and Determination ANYTHING is possible is truly Life Changing! It has amazed me how Fitness and Training mirror everything else in life and that we truly have NO LIMITS, except those that we place on ourselves is what drives me every day to new heights!
Who Influences/Influenced Your Training? My biggest influences in life are those that live their lives and use their Gifts and Blessings that they are given! Seeing someone with True Passion no matter what it is, is truly an inspiring thing to witness! I think of Fitness and Helping others as Gifts that I was given and I feel blessed every day to use them!
Sports: I have played or been involved in nearly every sport, including playing Football through the Division II College Level! I absolutely love being an Athlete!
