I have a real no-nonsense dad who taught me how to be resilient at a very young age.

You have to work hard not to take your partner for granted, even when you are tired.

Between the kids, the jobs and everything, no matter what color you are, cardio is probably not on the top of your list.

It's not how pretty you are or how talented you are. It's that if these five people on this day in this room like you, then you get a job.

You think you need the newest shoe and the newest outfit. We forget exercising is free. We forget it only takes a little bit every day.
