50 Reasons to Exercise

My name is Amanda.  I have loved being a fitness trainer, Zumba instructor, and boot-camp coach.  I love helping people find a love for incorporating a healthy lifestyle into their own.  I earned my B.S from WSU in Human Performance Management with an emphasis in Wellness and a Minor in Nutrition. I decided it was time to start up this blog to help share motivation, thoughts, tips in to helping you to be the fit healthy happy you!!
