In order to make the most of my experience, I looked for activities that I enjoy and that would help me to achieve my goals. The set of cardiovascular activities I selected targeted my first goal,…

While breaking down equipment one day after teaching a class at Nelson Fitness Center, I mentioned to another instructor how regrettable it was that I could not find a viable career path where my interests intersected.

I just had one exercise left and then cardio. I was pretty tired and wasn't excited for bench press. I personally didn't think I was ready but once again, I have issues with acknowledging that I am strong and talented but my trainer knew I could do it. I doubted myself and as I was going down, I freaked out and let my right arm drop. I started…
