Lifting weights was important to us because we’ve been lifting since eighth grade. We both did track in high school and college, and volleyball.

When you’re at home, you’re not as active as you were in college. And you gain weight when you have parents who feed you well.

To some extent we have the same eating patterns because we live together. We lift about the same amount of weight, but I do my own thing.

I liked the aspect of someone always being there. If she’s working out, then I should be, too.

The pounds are not as important as the inches. I felt a change in my clothes first.

They don’t just have treadmills, so the main thing doesn’t have to be running. I can’t think of any other weight machine I would want. They have a good variety for arms, legs and abs.
