1. What do you love about your body?
I have always really liked my arms.
2. What would you like to change about your body?
I would love to get back to my pre-baby stomach.
3. Have you ever been or are you currently on a diet?
I’ve never done any drastic diets but always feel like I restrict myself. I feel like I think about food constantly.
4. Have you ever or do you currently belong to a gym?
I belonged to a gym throughout my entire 20s, and worked out often. I used to love taking aerobics classes, especially step classes. I tried spinning once but hated it. It was way too loud and sweaty and I felt pressured to keep up with the entire group even though I wanted to take it easier. I don’t feel that it had a huge impact on my weight, but I do feel like I was very physically fit back then. I have zero desire to join a gym again. I think I burned myself out.
5. What does fitness mean to you?
Fitness means not huffing and puffing when you walk up the stairs. It’s about feeling strong and healthy.
Bonus: What is your current fitness goal?
My fitness goal is to be able to keep up with my 16 month old. I feel like I’m constantly getting up and down off the floor to play. I’d love to have the energy to spring up and not feel like I’m ancient.
