What inspired you to begin your fitness journey?
My fitness journey began towards the end of the holiday season 3 years ago. I was a little heavier than I was used to, and although I was already feeling a little fluffy, I felt that it wasn’t settling in the right places. My face was puffy, my stomach distented, but my arms and legs were skinny. I then asked my boyfriend Mico (@thefitjuan) to help me ‘redistribute’ my weight away from my belly to places like my butt and thighs to create shape. So I started going to the gym with him and the rest is history. From that moment on, I’ve been going to the gym 4-6x a week.

What are your go-to gym outfits?
I am always in spandex shorts or compression leggings from Nike or Under Armour. For my tops, I like using dri-fit shirts from Nike and Under Armour as well. The Nike Pro Combat line is my favorite! I like to wear JFIT douche cut tops over colorful sports bras too. I also almost always have a snapback hat on!
For shoes, I have my trusty Converse, Adidas Powerlifts and Nike Frees.
What are 3 tips you can give to people who are just starting to work out?
Tip # 3. Just go for it! Don’t wait until the start of a new month or year, or when you finally have that nice pair of running shoes that you’ve been eyeing. Just sign up and go.

Tip # 2. Don’t be afraid of lifting weights! If you want to put curves on your frame, endless hours on a cardio machine will not make that happen. The same goes for fat loss; if you want to appear leaner or ‘toned,’ lifting weights will help with that. Women have only a fraction of the testosterone of men, so it’s a lot harder for us to build muscle, let alone get huge.

Tip #1. Do what you love and make the process enjoyable. Results take time, so don’t burn yourself out doing something you don’t enjoy. Find something you don’t mind doing often, and the physical changes will follow. If you need any help, feel free to ask me any questions you may have!
