Fitness is not all about the gym or your appearance

Sure your appearance may reflect your habits bit it does not reflect your true personality or your soul. I workout consistantly because i value determination, integrity, and inner strength. It helps me clear my mind and stressful life events. I feel as though I accomplish something daily and honestly it has kept me out of trouble from high achool to college. I am more confident and able to stand my ground. I am also very independent from my fitness dedication. I can spend time to get to know myself and my limits along with my weaknesses.
Strength is not measured by your muscle defination. Your heart is a muscle too
You can also be fit outside of the gym. From outdoor activities to calenstenics.
Life is fit. Fit fitness in.

Goals

Set goals for life

Not only should have goals set for your fitness and health,but also for you career or helping the community. It os all about being well balanced. Whether you are studying, already have a career, oor searching for one, one should always set goals. These goals can be long term, but you should break it up a set goals for each day in order to reach your desired destination. This helps you stay on track and seems easy to reach them. It gives a reason each day to wake up with excitemt, fueling your inner energy and contentment.
As a college study, i have many aspirations with goals for the long term. But each day do I just forget those dreams and stay on plan of study thinking "oh I will get there" without working each day? Nope. I am studying to become a nutritionist. I habe my plan of study and stick to working hard each semester. But in the mean time, i am finding volunteer and internship oppurtunities this summer to help my community and further my knowledge in my field. I work on this search and planning each day. I also want to go to graduate school after I graduate with my BS for physical therapy. In order to get in to this I will need extra courses and 50 hours of shadowing PT's. Guess what... I am starting that this week.
Life is chaotic and we all have aspirations. These aspirations turn into goals and these goals are only accomplished by action, which then becomes one's career or their inner fullfillment.
Daily goals taken step by step gets you far.
Stay strong, organized, and never ever give in.

Spartan race!!
Best time ever. always on my to do list and im proud to say I did!
Most invigorating thing ever. Feel like I can achieve and do whatever.
Running or any workout for me is a high.
TIRED? STRESSED? ANXIOUS? SAD? UPSET ?ANGRY? OVERALL: A BAD DAY!?
WORKOUT!!!
Setiously it is a total body experience. This is something I hadve a true passion for.
I love pushing my body and seeing what limits I have. BUT, I respect my body.
It is about achieving your best and doing better than you think you can do. Your mind controls everything!! even when you do not realize it. But fitness changes your mind and that is something so hard to do.
Get out there and be you. Fell free happy and good for yourself and for the better of the world.
Be one with yourself
No matter whatlife throws at you... duck and recover.
BE HAPPY AND STRONG
NEVER GIVE IN!!!

Sometimes all you need is strength!

Got my jump-rope and a room fall of exercise equipment... perfection at its finest!

Some days between school and family I feel lost but then I hit the gym and realize how powerful and in control of my life I really am!

Train hard and be the best version of you.
The stronger you get the more hardships in life you can endure!!

Fuel for the fit: Savoring summer with a hint of fall!

Now matter what happens sometimes life seems to get harder and harder, so your only choice? get STRONGER AND STRONGER

Sometimes it seems that God or who ever you believe in just isn't on your side. People and things may go against you and not go right. Something's we can change and other things just happen without our control. It is OK. TIS IS LIFE. We can only train OURSELVES to be strong to overcome these let downs. We need to get tougher and tougher to not let these things get us down or in the way of our future success. We must change our attitude about these events and try to look at the positives.
Train to be tough
train to be confident
train to be positive
train to be the BEST YOU!

if LIFE GETS HARDER AND WE ARE THE SAME.. WE WILL NEVER MAKE IT.
