| How did you get involved and what makes it special to you?
I’ve always loved fitness and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I attended Battle on the Bricks a few years ago and just wanted to be a part of it and step into the ring. Honestly, half the battle is just getting yourself in there. I also have five daughters, so I want to show them that you can do anything you want — it’s okay to feel uncomfortable and push yourself. You’re not always going to win, but I might not win — I mean, I plan on winning — but no matter what, I know I’ve out-trained whoever I’m up against. I’m 100% committed.
Now that it’s here, what are you most excited about?
I’m most excited for my family to be there and experience it with me. I’m in the gym so much, and I don’t think people realize how much effort this has taken, so I’m excited for them to see it all come together. Just being out there, feeling the energy, and having them be a part of it. And then I’m excited to take a break — my body needs it.
If you could pick a walkout song, what would it be?
I found a house version of “Titanium” that I love. I also love Kendrick Lamar, so something like that could be good. I feel like when I hear the right one, I’ll know — I’m just keeping my ears open.
