I've been pretty active all my life. I played national level softball and competitive volleyball from a very young age and discovered a love of running while in my late teens. While in my 20's I became a certified trainer and taught step class (it was the 90's!!) Unfortunately, I also discovered an ability to out-eat any level of training, even while running 50 miles per week training for marathons! (Key learning: no matter how many miles you run, handfuls of M&M's and mini-Heath bars will cause you to gain weight!). While I've never been obese, I have decided that now is the time to get "super fit" once and for all, building muscle and improving my flexibility (I'm doing yoga!!) while continuing to train for marathons. Beachbody products appealed to me because they focus on exactly what everyone needs -- a variety of well rounded workouts that focus on strength, cardio, and flexibility. No false promises, just results through hard work. I chose P90X to start and have been blown away by the results. I have muscles I've never seen before, and my strength and flexibility has resulted in significantly improved and pain-free running!

Besides being an Independent Beachbody Coach, I'm also studying to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association so that I can train people and teams in my area to maximize their performance through improved physical fitness and nutrition. I'm extremely excited to share my experiences and help to motivate others as we all move through this journey.

Follow me as I workout with Beachbody products, train for the Santa Barbara Marathon Demeber 7th, 2009, study for my CSCS (I have a MASSIVE textbook! yikes!) and attempt to keep my sanity while managing family life with my husband and two kids!
