NMFIT: Has fitness always been a major part of your life or was there a catalyst/point in your life when you made it more of a focus and priority?
Drum-Late: Health and fitness is a topic that was never discussed growing up as a young adult in my house. I was so uneducated about what healthy foods really are. Going to a gym or exercising was never pushed nor did I have a mentor to help guide me down the road to living a healthy lifestyle. It was not until I got older, working in sales, new mom, newly married, and then a divorce. Then it happened. I lost track of my life. Waking up at the age of 35 and wondering how I go to this point. The point of depression, body aches, and having no energy to work and live daily life to my fullest. Then I stepped on the scale and showing numbers over 300 pounds. That was the day I changed my life. Showing signs of high blood pressure and pre-diabetes. I know I had to find a way to get healthier.
NMFIT: What are a few of your go-to healthy snacks/drinks that help keep you on the straight and narrow?
Drum-Late: I am on the road a lot for work, so I make it a priority to food prep and always have snacks available for those hungry moments. Nuts, berries, and precut veggies. I also like to sip on hot black coffees/teas on of course water.
NMFIT: How do you train your mind and stay motivated?
Drum-Late:: Mind over matter is such a powerful quote. We need to stay strong in our minds for our bodies. I love reading health and fitness articles to find new ways to keep me active or to find new recipes. I also find myself indulging in listening to podcasts of all genres and of course music.
NMFIT: How do you change your body?
Drum-Late: The is no evidence that we can change our bodies that we were born with. However, knowing your body type, and finding a fitness program to keep you engaged and entertained along with eating healthy foods can help a person get closer to making your body stronger and leaner. And do not forget healthier ones.
NMFIT: What are your fitness favorites?
Drum-Late: My passion is group fitness. Group fitness saved my life. Give me a big group of people and a loudspeaker to get my fitness groove on. Rather it is an aerobic step class, cardio punching, or my all-time favorite, cardio drumming. Such as Drum-Late`
