How did you start working out?
My love for fitness comes from my father’s health issues. My father suffered a severe stroke at the age of 47, and I started to think and evaluate my lifestyle. When I decided to start my fitness journey to get in shape, I discovered that I couldn't even do a full push-up. I have been weight training for 11 years now and strength training makes me strong. I'm addicted!
