The Life of Steph:)

Hello all!

First, I want to say welcome to our blog! Health and fitness is very important to the both of us.  Here is a little bit about me.  I started gymnastics when I was just six years old.  Gymnastics is the reason why I enjoy being fit and healthy.  I did gymnastics for 14 years, and reached level 10, the highest level in the Junior Olympic Program.  Gymnastics requires hours and hours of training.  I trained up to 20 hours a week, 50 weeks out of the year.  Besides gymnastics, I really haven’t been that involved in sports.  After graduating high school, I had the opportunity to attend Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah on a full athletic scholarship.  Unfortunately it didn’t work out there, so I now attend the University of Nebraska Kearney majoring in Exercise Science

                Today, at the age of 19, I am a retired gymnast and a regular person.  After doing gymnastics all my life, I am finding it hard to be normal, and I notice my body changing.  I am not saying that I am big and weak, but I am nowhere near the gymnast shape I had before.  My goals this year are to stay fit and healthy.  I plan on working out after my morning classes and hopefully get a few miles in at night.  I have known Linden since middle school, but our friendship really took off our junior year of high school.  Halloween of 2010, Linden decided that she wanted to lose weight.  So I created all these work out routines for her and I even had her sign a contract.  (BTW, she still owes me $50!)  I always tell people that she is my success story!  She ended up losing a bunch of weight and she continues to work out today!

Anyways, that’s just a little bit about me.  Here is a short list of some things I enjoyJ Talk to you all soon!
