How Did You Start Health And Fitness?

I started my health and fitness at a young age,I was in grade school, when I truly realized that I enjoyed fitness as a whole.
However, it was not until I was 18 years old that I truly started hitting the weights as a sport.I played baseball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball when I was young, but once I got to high school, was when I found my passion for weight lifting. Fitness Model Nick DiCristina
