Fitness Goals:
Due to the nature of my job staying fit and healthy is important to me. My life or the life of others could depend on it.

My goal is to run 10 miles a week. I normally divide this into three sessions. I have a little gym with weights at my house. Ever since Covid 19, I try to work out at home as much as I can.
Nutritional & Supplements:
I do not take supplements, however, I do meal prepping. I prep my meals and freeze the meals so I’m able to eat healthy, quick dinners on a daily basis. This way, I stay away from junk food. I take videos of me prepping my recipes and upload them onto youtube (Freezerfitmeals), to share them with others.

I love how Status Magazine can be my one-stop shop for fitness-related news, training, and nutrition. I also like the approach from first-hand experiences and people I can relate to.
