All of my life I have been interetsed in dance, cheerleading, and fitness. During my college years, I was fortunate to make our cheersquad. During law school, I became first a cheerleader for the Iowa Barnstormers Arena Football team (now the New York Dragons) and then moved on to the Flightline Dance Line. Several years after that, I enrolled in the Ultimate Body Conditioning Program with Farrell's US Martial Arts. After completing the program, I stayed on as an instructor for several years. I then decided to continue my interest in group fitness and began to instruct at Lakeside Fitness. There, I have been mentored by an excellent instructor and personal trainer, who has helped me become more involved and seek out more certifications. I am currently certified in Turbo Kick and from AFAA for certification in Primary Group. I am also working on certifications through FitTour for Naval Boot Camp, Yoga, Primary Group, and Spin. I currently instruct at Aspen Athletics with several clubs throughout the Des Moines metro area. In addition to group fitness, I train year round for competitions in half marathons and 10K's. In May 2007, I not only won my age division in a race on Memorial Day, earlier in the month, I won the women's division in a 10K! I look forward to sharing my excitement for fitness with those who wish to continue their fitness even while on vacation!
