I have my parents to thank for that, they raised me to be active and play all sports. They taught me the importance of staying healthy, being focused and setting goals in whatever I do.
They both go together; you can't be in front of the camera hosting a fitness television show in front of 75 million households and not have trained 6 days per week year round - in a bikini no less.
Our viewers are very educated, they can tell if I train or not.
I feel true success comes from being able to work and the love for it.
I feel accomplished knowing that I'm still the same at heart.
Business wise, I have always learned valuable lessons so I don't regret any decisions I have made.
Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.
I appreciate life, talk a lot, love to laugh, and am very optimistic.
I also paint and enjoy acrylic medium; some of my close friends have paintings I did for them.
It's not being superficial, but looks do attract me from across the gym.
