Me, in a Nutshell

Hello all! I just wanted to introduce myself a little.  I am 24 years young.
I studied at Utah Valley University getting my degree in Public and Community health with a minor in Exercise and Sports Science.  I am very passionate about health and finding a balance in life.  I have lived in Utah my whole life and I absolutely love it. I have a strong passion for the outdoors.  I love helping people increase the quality of their life through increasing their health.

 I don't believe in diet pills, medications, "7 day detoxes", or special magical pills that will make you instantly lose weight overnight.  It takes work. Though I believe that being healthy is a complete life style change.  When you change your outlook on health and fitness, they you will truly change your life and overall health. I believe in getting out and living each day to the fullest. 

I am currently training for the Boston Marathon.  I ran the Utah Valley Marathon in June, 2014 and qualified for Boston with a 3:31 time. Follow me on my journey as I train for Boston!

 I will be posting some of my runs, exercises, and cross training that I do.  I also love to hike with my dog, so I am sure that you will see a lot of him. 

I hope you enjoy reading! Feel free to comment with suggestions, questions, or comments!
Kylie :)

Supplements

Supplements.... Supplements... Where to begin! The fitness industry can be a very messy, intimidating and contain a lot of misleading information. Supplements are a huge money maker for companies because everyone is looking for that "magical pill" to make them fit into those high school jeans. If you know me, I am a very naturalist person but I also do take supplements. I love to find very natural supplements and limit my caffeine intake. **Disclosure- I am not paid to represent any of these products. They are all just products that I like and recommend to everyone in the fitness world. My schedule: Wake up at 4:30 AM- Take my pre-workout from WM Nutrition & L-Carnitine from Ideal Fit During my workout- sip on Ideal Fit's BCAAs & WM nutrition Hydrenengery After my workout- IdealFit Protein Powder At breakfast- Glucosamine and daily multi-vitamin Here are what they look like and links to where you can buy them: Pre workout- WM Nutrition WM Nutrit...
