My fitness journey started when I was an athlete. I played every sport under the sun growing up, and played lacrosse in college. So when that ended, I was like, ‘well sh*t, I no longer have a built-in fitness routine in my life.’ Time to hit the drawing board.
I loved being strong. Strong is the new sexy, am I right? But it made it hard to fit in sometimes because I didn’t feel particularly ‘girly’, and I sure as heck did not like the societal standard that women have to be ‘skinny’ to be beautiful.
