32 || FITNESS MAGAZINE || JUNE 2015 || EDITION 2FMM: If you had five minutes with a world leader, what would you talk about and tell him/her?MP: You know, I have always been interested in Bill Gates and his philanthropy. He has done so much for our world. I love to learn from more experienced people. He and his wife amaze me. He, %u201chas been there, done that,%u201d in his life, and I would love to learn some nuggets of wisdom from someone like him. I would also love to team up with him on helping America%u2019s school lunch programs. Kind of what Jamie Oliver did for some schools but on a bigger scale throughout America since the obesity epidemic is out of control. Bill Gates has much more clout than I do! LOL! People would listen. Children are our future. FMM: What is your favorite exercise/sport that you do regularly for your workout?MP: I love to lift weights because I am naturally a tall thin body type. Lifting weights gives me curves. I have added yoga for flexibility and boxing for the hand/eye coordination. I keep things mixed up for fun so I don%u2019t get bored. This summer I want to take yoga on the paddle board classes. I am really into taking my workouts outside to be more in touch with nature. I love feeling more centered with myself. FMM: Any other projects/gigs in the near future besides launching the Healthinista?MP: Yes, I am excited for my holistic lifestyle blog to launch! You can also see me in the new SunWarrior ads I recently shot. SunWarrior is a holistic health and wellness company that has an amazing line of plant-based products. I fell in love with their protein powder and tweeted it on Twitter. They reached out to me because of that tweet, and now I am a proud Ambassador for their company. I always have something exciting going on. You will just have to tune into my Healthinista blog to find out.
