HI REBEKAH, IT’S GREAT TO FEATURE YOU IN OUR SUMMER ISSUE OF HERS. PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF?
I was born and raised in Kentucky, USA and I'm living the life of commercial sales. I'm the owner of a fun-filled and super energetic Australian Shepherd and I'm blessed with a wonderful family and a great group of friends.
WHEN AND HOW DID YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY START?
I started my fitness journey roughly in January of 2017. I was turning 30 that summer and wanted to be in my best overall physical shape closing out my 20’s. Of course, I wanted to approach fitness the right way, so I researched and met with a local trainer to start the process. Best decision ever.
WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE OUR HERS READERS STARTING OUT ON THEIR OWN FITNESS JOURNEY?
As I mentioned earlier, my first step on my fitness journey was connecting with a personal trainer. A trainer will evaluate your current condition, create customised fitness and nutritional programs; all while providing accountability to keep you on track to meet and or exceed your goals. It's worth the investment, as you are investing in yourself.
WHAT IS YOUR TRAINING AND NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY?
Balance is essential to any program. A crash workout program or diet is never the answer. One must commit to a full lifestyle change.
YOUR TAKE ON SUPPLEMENTATION?
Supplements are to one’s benefit if your body is lacking in specific vitamins and minerals. Consulting with a nutritionist or physician may be the best start to understanding what your body needs before automatically buying 15 to 20 supplements.
