Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

What fuels my passion is 2 main things. The ability to do what I want and slow building of confidence that comes with setting and achieving goals. What I mean is when i take care of my health and fitness, i have more energy, can move things and around, and overall better mental health. When I set goals in the gym and achieve them, it gives me the confidence to set and achieve higher and other goals in other areas of my life.

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

My favorite way to strength train is a mix of lifting weights and calisthenics. I do those because I find them the most enjoyable. For cardio, I like to mix it up and choose what every I feel like for that week or month. I don't like to run long distance but i do have a field sprinting workout i like to do. I also i like to play and do the sports I love. I like to play basketball, skateboard, and i even just picked up boxing very recently. For longevity we should do the things we like.

What would you do with $20,000?

I am currently a Senior at UT Austin. I would first save half of it for graduate school that I have applied for. The other half I would use to help my mom, grandma, and aunt with some bills for a few months so they could save or pay off some debts. I would probably spend $100 at the hobby store for some more acrylic paint.
