I am so excited to announce that I was recently added as a Fitness Council Member for Get Fit Arkansas! I will have the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with five other council members that work in the field of nutrition and health to promote fitness all across the Natural State.

Arkansas, the third most obese state in the nation, desperately needs the assistance of the GFA initiative. One of the main goals is to help Arkansans fight obesity through fitness training, developing individual responsibility to exercise, and by consuming a nutritious diet! This organization has the same core values as my personal platform “Be Proactive, Get Active!” which is why I am so excited to work with them this year.

The slogan of the organization, “We Can Do It Together!” is so inspirational. The road to a healthier lifestyle is extremely difficult to travel alone. Get Fit Arkansas offers guidance, encouragement, and skills that help people lead a healthier life.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with two of my fellow council members, Mark and Jennifer,  to talk about our ideas for the upcoming year. I can already tell this is going to be a great partnership. You can check us out at GetFitArkansas.com, on Twitter @GetFitArkansas, and on Facebook at FitnessArkansas. I cannot wait to share more about this amazing program throughout the year!!! Thanks Get Fit Arkansas for this opportunity!
