Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Focusing on performance gives me a clear goal when it comes to health and fitness. I have to be intentional when it comes to food and fueling so that I can perform my very best. I can’t eat to be my smallest self but rather my strongest self. Being active makes me feel alive and grateful for being able to move my body. My health journey has become so much more than exercise and food. It’s become an opportunity to strengthen my mind, discipline, attitude, and overall lifestyle.

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

I am a very spontaneous individual when it comes to training. I have always played soccer and basketball, and I recently picked up tennis for fun. I have been lifting weights for 5 years now, but recently I have switched how I lift weights so that it complements my running. I lift light weights fast and do lots of isolation and isometric exercises to mirror running and sprinting. I absolutely love to sprint as it makes me feel powerful. I also love running as I can clear my mind and zone out.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’ve always had a dream to travel around the US, and even the world, to host run clubs, sprint sessions, and group workouts. There’s so many run clubs for serious runners, but I want to invite people of all backgrounds. I want to show people that they don’t have to be a sprinter to sprint, a pro bodybuilder in order to lift, and insanely fast to run. I want to show that you can just decide one day to change how you move your body. You don’t even have to be great at it, you just have to enjoy it
