Catch up with friends, girls night and go paddle boarding.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?
I love playing darts.

What advice would you give to anyone starting their own fitness journey?
Keep at your goals, never give up! Lastly make yourself accountable, do what it takes. If that means having an accountability buddy, letting people know of your goals or hiring a trainer.
