24, Trainer at Rumble Boxing
MY FITNESS HOME:
My favorite is throwing mitts with my boxing coach.
BIGGEST FITNESS MYTH:
That lifting heavy makes you bulky! It does quite the opposite.
BIGGEST NUTRITION MYTH:
That salt is bad for you. I drink salt water at least once daily and have plenty in my diet.
MY TYPICAL WORKOUT DAY:
I consider any movement I get to be a workout. I usually take my two dogs for a walk and either take a rumble class in the evening or work out at my home gym!
MY ADVICE:
Don’t ever compare your fitness journey to ANYONE else.
MY FITNESS TIP:
Fuel your body BEFORE and AFTER your workout. It’s hard for me to get through a workout if I haven’t eaten. And, of course, replenish with a protein-filled meal afterward!
IF I COULD ONLY HAVE ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT:
Kettlebell for sure. It’s the most versatile piece!
ALWAYS IN MY GYM BAG:
My Redmond Re-Lyte electrolytes!
MY FITNESS IDOL:
Danielle Brandon
DREAM WORKOUT PARTNER:
Mike Tyson
MY GO-TO SNACK:
White rice with butter and salt
MY DIET:
My diet consists mostly of meat, fruits, and rice/potatoes. Nothing too crazy but I do try to stay away from processed foods. I also don’t use canola or seed oils, and I use butter for everything!
ONE FOOD I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT:
Steak
SETBACKS:
The biggest setback has been finding the time to work out. But once I put aside the mindset of “I have to get an hour and a half lift in,” my workouts look like a 30-minute lift, 20-minute walk, or even 15 minutes of boxing. Just get it done!
WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED:
The feeling of accomplishment after a workout. Whether it was the hardest or easiest workout, I still moved my body and pushed myself, and that’s the most important to me.
