What is your favorite class to take? 

 I really like core barre 

What’s your favorite part about the new rec center? 

I would have to say my favorite part is the rock climbing wall! It’s has tons of different walls you can climb ranging from easy to hard. In all, the whole facility is amazing. 

What is your daily workout routine? 

I usually run about four miles around four days a week with strength training. I also try and take 3 workout classes a week. 

What is your favorite form of exercise?

Running! 

What is some advice on staying healthy in college?

I think it is important to have a daily routine and stick to it. Try to at least get in 30 mins of exercise daily. We are in college so it’s hard not to eat late night pizza and junk food, but it’s all about portion control. It’s fine to have eat a little of your favorite sweets every now and then but try to stick to maybe one slice or one scoop of ice cream. Everyone needs a cheat day!

What do you plan on doing after college? 

I plan on doing an internship in nutrition/dietetics and getting my Master’s. I hope to continue teaching workout classes.

What inspired you to start teaching? 

 

I’ve always been really interested in health and I love working out so I decided to teach workout classes to help inspire people to love fitness and live a healthy lifestyle. This is only my second semester teaching classes

What is your favorite healthy snack?

 

My favorite healthy snack is an apple with a little peanut butter or some almonds
