Greetings #fitfam! I’d like to start by thanking everyone who has taken the time to read these weekly blogs about health and wellness, penned by yours truly. Four weeks ago, I was brought onboard by the owner of Just For The Hill of It, the one and only Twila Hill, to share my knowledge related to fitness and spread body positivity. A major component in making this magic happen is a sponsorship from our generous friends at GymAmmo!
This week I’d like to take some time to introduce myself to you all and open the floor for fitness questions and discussions. Our goal is to expand the great community here at Just For The Hill of It to include health and wellness conversations with intentions to help us all find an even better version of ourselves together!
Where do I begin? Hmm…I think the best place to begin is with my background in athletics and fitness. My journey dates back to the 90s, middle school days – I loved practice and workouts as much as I did game days and my interest in activity never waned. My athletic exploits included playing organized football and basketball, tennis, as well as track and field. When my playing days ended in my 20s, I shifted my focus to coaching youth sports and keeping myself in shape. Despite my involvement in coaching, I did not take my personal health as seriously as I should have and looking back, I feel I wasted a lot of good years that I could’ve been even more fit.
Fast-forward to 40 years old! I’d reached an elite level in my field of choice, Independent Information Technology Specialist, and decided to pursue a career that allowed me to get physical and help others. My choice was easy, with some prodding and pushing from family and friends, I took the leap and began the steps to become personal trainer, officially. On January 1st, 2020, I launched my company, Total Camo Fitness! Since then we’ve been offering in-person training in Central Texas and virtual training via Zoom. I now use my platform to encourage, empower, and inform others about how they can reclaim their best physical selves and turn 40 into the new 30!
I feel blessed and privileged to be able to assist others along their fitness journeys on multiple platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. In addition to working with clients and providing DIY fitness and nutrition plans, I am also currently training to participate in USA Boxing’s Masters Boxing Division (designed for athletes 35 yeas old and above). In preparation for my first match, I lost 22 lbs. in 6 weeks, its exhilarating! A fight date has not yet been set, but I am training daily and working my butt off to be prepared and focused.
If you are interested in following along with my journey or contacting my company, I can be found on social media platforms:
