Q: What%u2019s the best fitness advice that you%u2019ve ever received? The best fitness advice I%u2019ve ever received was actually from a speech that Ray Lewis gave to the Stanford University Football team in the 2012 Pre-Game NIT SemiFinals. I was working as the Fitness Director at Stanford University at the time, and his speech hit me to the core. The specific quote that I will never forget: %u201c%u2026 Every day is a new day. Every moment is a new moment. So go out there and show them that you are a different creature now than you were five minutes ago!...%u201d I love this quote, because people often think that they have to accept a current reality. For example, I wasn%u2019t even close to where I wanted to be when I first started out in the sport of bodybuilding; however, I am 100% a %u201cdifferent creature%u201d now than I was then%u2026 And that is why Ray Lewis%u2019s words hit just as deep now as they did when I first heard them!Q: What do you love most about your body? What I love most is my overall confidence in my shape. I am very proud of what I have created. I love to dress up and love fashion!Q: What Type of Exercise Do You Enjoy the Most? Ironically, I enjoy the type of exercise that I DON%u2019T enjoy the most %u2013 because that is the stuff that gets results.Q: What%u2019s your favorite guilty pleasure food when you aren%u2019t training? I%u2019m Italian, and my absolute favorite thing to eat when I splurge is fresh French Bread straight from the oven dipped in homemade meat marinara sauce! So good!Q: Do you have any recovery rituals? I do a lot to recover! I have a lot of massage products, as well as LED light therapy, TENS therapy, ice sleeves, and I could go on! Recovery is a huge component to making sure you are moving forward and achieving results. The one thing that will always halt results is an injury. Remaining injury-free is always the key to success!Q: What skill are you working on mastering now?Right now, I am working a lot in the media.
