| Introduction | I read so many articles everyday on the different aspects of health, be it Physical, Social, or Mental/Emotional. I would like some feedback from my students about the issues surrounding their life. I will reference current news articles and post some health tips. My hope is that we can all learn something from each other. |
| Interests | Working out and fitness have been a part of my whole life. Played four sports in high school and 2 at Wartburg College (softball for 3 years & rugby my senior year.) I was also a Student Athletic Trainer and learned a lot about the body through helping athletes rehabilitate themselves. After college I was a fitness instructor and began body building and had enough of that after two years (because of over training and shooting out my quads in both legs and suffering from two leaking/bulging discs in my lower back...I was young and dumb when it came to training.) I am much more educated now, so it's about being healthy, not just looking great, and living a high-quality life. I went to graduate school at UNI where I had the opportunity to live in Portugal for a semester & taught first and third year college students. Then, ended up teaching for a year in North Carolina. In 2003, I came back to Iowa and was a personal trainer for 4 years while teaching at Prairie. |
