​Tell me about the layoff you had prior to getting back into exercise and how it affected your psyche and your physique.  ​

Prior to meeting Keith, I had been living in Minneapolis where I was working with a trainer 3-4 times a week. He was helping me rehabilitate and strengthen from orthoscopic knee surgery. Once I moved back to San Diego, I attempted to maintain my workouts on my own. Around this same time, I unfortunately had to scope my other knee due to a torn miniscus. After surgery, it was very difficult to get back into my workouts for fear of my limitations with both knees now being scoped. During this period I was between jobs and only working part-time. The uncertainty of paying my bills and finding full-time work that I enjoyed, added tremendous stress and anxiety. The transition of starting a career all over again made for a debilitating stress where I felt paralyzed and unmotivated to use my body and strength train. I stopped working out altogether for a week, then a month, then a whole year went by!
