How do you start the day?
I get up between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.
I like to workout first thing to help me start my day with as clear a mind as possible.
It helps me get everything in order because the rest of the day normally becomes a blur.
Have you always loved fitness?
My dad is a personal trainer, which is the greatest thing in the world.
Because of that, health, wellness, and movement have always been priorities in my life.
He is the greatest example of understanding the importance of it without feeling any pressure to do so.
My workouts vary depending on my schedule and what I have to bring to the table that day.
If I’m feeling exhausted, a two-hour intense workout is not going to serve me.
Working out has become something I do for mymental healthas much as physical.
It’s about getting in there and challenging your mindandyour body.
That’s why I’m constantly changing my workout routine.

Oh god, I’m a big breakfast person.
