Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion for health and fitness comes from how it saves me mentally. Movement is my therapy—it’s where I release stress, rebuild myself, and feel in control again. After being overweight for much of my life, fitness represents change and hope. I refuse to let the second half of my life look like the first, and every workout is a step toward a stronger, healthier future I’m determined to create.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

My favorite way to stay fit is pushing myself on the StairMaster or tackling stairs in general—I thrive on the burn and the challenge of every step. I also love lifting free weights and feeling my body grow stronger with each workout. That intensity, the progress, and the power I’m building keep me hungry to push further every day.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to regain stability after a difficult period in my life. I’ve been unemployed for the past few months due to an abrupt relocation to help care for my sick mother, which made it hard to stay financially afloat. I would use part of the money to catch up on essential bills, invest in a personal trainer to support my health and fitness goals—something I’ve wanted but haven’t been able to afford—and set aside the rest as savings for a rainy day.
