I grew up in and still live in a small town that's somewhere up around the North Pole (Alberta, Canada - it is COLD here). I used to be a competitive figure skater all throughout my junior high and high school years and after graduating, decided to pursue a degree in Kinesiology. One thing led to another and as time progressed I got into fitness/health writing as well as working with selected individuals on their health and fitness goals.
Some other random stuff.... I drink way too much coffee, sing when I work out (luckily I have a basement gym), and am sure I must consist of about 98% Splenda by now. Luckily, I gave up the diet soda habit. Hardest thing ever.
