Personal Information
I am the oldest of 5 kids. I grew up in an athletic and healthy family. My mom taught gymnastics and aerobics, and my dad was a strength coach at KU. I started out in ballet and gymnastics and began lifting regularly in high school. I was diagnosed with sever idiopathic scoliosis when I was 11. The surgeons wanted to put 12 inch rods in my back right then, but I waited to have the surgery until I was 20. I have 2, 12" titanium rods in my back and lost a lot of flexibility in my torso. I rehabed very quickly because I had lifted weights and kept my heart strong through cardio through college. I am doing great today as long as I lift 5 times per week then I have no pain. |
