I have studied extensively with the National Strength and Conditioning Associaton (NSCA) and the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). I also have a group exercise certificate with the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). I got into the fitness industry after I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis. By applying a sound approach to exercise and nutrition, I have managed to completely reverse the effects of this bone-degenerating disease. I am now certified in the BEST Training Programme from the University of Arizona which has been shown to help improve bone mineral density in populations with osteoporosis..
