Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

First of all, I feel so much better when I work out- physically, mentally, and emotionally! Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “The first wealth is health”, and that’s a motto I live by! And as someone who helps others get in shape, I get excited and invested in helping others set goals and to help them reach them- here are some of my clients fun times! https://www.terrancemurphy.com/personal-training

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

I like to incorporate different things into my workouts, like cardio into my weight training with HITT workouts and circuit training, along with yoga! I also use eccentric training to not only build strength, but to help with flexibility also. I am also a fan of yoga, beach Vball, tennis and anything active! The older I get, I have learned to adapt my workouts daily, pushing myself on days I “feel” it, and adapting to different styles on days that I don’t! Different workouts help the brain too!

What would you do with $20,000?

I would like to start a program to inspire kids and adults who are neurodivergent to help get in shape and realize there’s nothing they can’t do if they can start with themselves! I had one client who was 18 and overweight; during his evaluation, he passed out after trying 3 pushups! It broke my heart; I challenged him, letting him know what he could do and that I would be there for him every step of the way. Being neurodivergent, I want to show them what’s possible for them!
