Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

As a 53 year old cancer survivor, I want to stay healthy for my kids. I want to live a long life and stay active. I also want to inspire my kids to be active and see the benefits of strength training and eating a healthy diet. Competing in my first men’s physique competition has fueled my passion for the sport and I’m already training for my second competition in June! Health and fitness is a way of life for me and something I think about 24/7!

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

Strength training is number one for me. I lift weights 5 days a week. I also cycle (road and gravel bikes in the summer and my fat bike through the winter). When I’m not training or on the bike you’ll likely find me downhill skiing with my son.

What would you do with $20,000?

Because of my schedule, I now train in my home gym which I started to put together last spring. It is a work in progress though. I’d love to purchase a leg press / hack squat machine, a leg extension machine, a better set of dumbbells and some other things for my home gym. I’m training for my next men’s physique competition exclusively in my home gym, so a few more pieces of equipment would really help me to reach my goals.
