I remember the moment I looked into the mirror and realized how much weight I had gained. But it hadn’t yet, and it wouldn’t really catch up to me until I hit my twenties… My biological father’s side of the family from what I can remember was a lot heavier, and so I knew eventually this would all catch up to me. When I got into 8th grade I stopped doing any kind of sports or physical activities (aside from gym class and walking to places when I didn’t have a car) but the fast metabolism was still in my favor, and I was skinny, albeit “skinny fat” and not fit whatsoever. I was active in my childhood doing Japanese Jiu Jitsu, Okinawa Te, and soccer so that helped as well. I was one of the lucky ones that could eat whatever I wanted and wouldn’t gain any weight. I have always been a really skinny lanky girl. This post is really a general introduction & of course my experience with two popular fitness influencers training programs but I’m hoping to write more fitness journey related posts along the way. I started my journey (and took it seriously) back in 2012 and I have learned so much along the way and have seen so much progress (and have also had my fair share of setbacks). Well let me start with telling you a little bit about when I started my fitness journey and how I have progressed over time. So a lot of people have been asking me about what kind of exercises I do (particularly glute building exercises) as well as what I do for nutrition/meals and how I learned so much about different workouts and proper form. Thanks for reading and I hope I have helped some of you out on your journey!) If I’m feeling brave I may also do some progress photos so you can see how things have been going on the Alexia Clark plan which I still follow pretty frequently as well as some heavy weightlifting days. ![]() Also a lot has changed in my fitness journey (lots of progress!) and other things as well so I’ll be doing a follow-up post soon and will also be updating any information about these plans mentioned since some changes have been made. I just wanted to say that I am working on doing an update follow-up post to this one and hope to blog a little more regularly about my fitness journey as well as reviews on plans/workouts, athletic wear, health & nutrition, and more! This was written in 2016 (with only one update in 2017 when I started the Alexia Clark subscription) and a lot of the general information about each plan hasn’t changed but there are some (good) differences. (Update March 5, 2019: Hi everyone! I still can’t believe how many people have read this post and continue to visit this post! This is one of my most popular posts on the blog which is funny because it’s my only fitness post on the blog thus far even though health & fitness is such a big part of my daily life.
