Some things you might not know about me -
I love being active and enjoy exercising and trying new activities. I was formerly a yoga and pilates instructor when I was younger, and now my favorite cardio class is Body Combat, which is a mix of intense aerobic work with martial arts. It is not only a good workout, but also potential self-defense training if I ever need it. It is also a great stress reliever!
