Alexis was always an athlete growing up and as an adult, exercise became her primary stress-reliever. She found triathlons in her mid-20s and distance running after she gave birth to her first daughter. Since then, there has really been no stopping her. She loves all things cardio -- and challenges herself with weight training. In essence, she is addicted to the endorphin rush that comes after a great sweat session. Her advice to those just starting out on their fitness journey would be to "find what feels good to you/what you love...run with that until you establish a foundation and then begin exploring." You will grow to love her straight-forward nature and tenacious workouts!
