Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

The undeniably positive effects on your quality of life that optimizing your health and fitness can have is what fuels my passion for health and fitness the most. The difference in wellbeing between a person with a healthy, active body vs an unhealthy, sedentary one is striking. Being able to see this difference in my own life through my own and parents’ fitness journeys has shown me just how life changing and important it is to be in good health which starts with your physical fitness and diet.

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

My personal favorite type training is bodybuilding and muscle hypertrophy focused workouts. Although I enjoy a variety of physical activities like hiking, wrestling and calisthenics, my true enjoyment in training comes from pushing my limits in the weight room. Lifting more than last time, engorging my muscles with blood, and seeing just how far I can push myself each session is one of the most rewarding and character-building parts of my life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would allocate almost all of the money to help pay for my college degree in nutrition science I’m currently pursuing at university which I would otherwise have to take out student loans to pay for. However, to be completely honest, I would also use it to buy a pair of versa grips I’ve wanted for the past year to help with my back and hamstring training but haven’t had the discretionary income to buy.
