I was like you when I started my fitness journey! Nervous & uneducated! I don't want any woman to ever feel that way. I was unhappy with how I looked & felt. I wanted to feel strong & fit, so I decided to make a change. I thought lifting was only for men, it would make me big and bulky. I was wrong! It makes me feel alive, powerful & strong. My goals are within my reach & so can yours.
