| Reasons for adopting an active lifestyle |
When I was 15 I was diagnosed with two stress fractures in my spine. I had nine of ten doctors tell me I would never play competitive sports again. Over the next ten years I completed 4 years of NCAA division 1 tennis at number one singles and doubles, marathons, and an Ironman. You can appreciate exercise when you once thought it would be taken away from you. You don’t appreciate what you have until you loose it. I almost lost the ability to adopt a health lifestyle.

You have more energy, you look and feel better, you’re stronger and faster. Mentally you can concentrate longer. |
| One piece of advice to help others live a healthier life |
Set a goal and reason why you want to be healthy. Example: Enter a 5km fun run and train with the goal of finishing. Once you have that feeling of achievement, enter another 5 km or 10km. You will be amazed at what you can do when you have a goal! The goal is 5km the reason is achievement. The result is you lose weight, feel great, and look great! |
