Favorite move: “I love working my chest and training my abs,” says Krista, a busy stay-at-home mom who works out in the mornings to help balance her schedule. “But my absolute favorite are triceps dips while doing a handstand!”

Good advice: Krista says she started working out when she was just 17 and she remembers how intimidating it was to first step into a gym. “Just get out and do it,” says Krista to gym first-timers. “I suggest eating right and combining your foods appropriately. Pat yourself on the back and tell yourself you are terrific."

Weights vs. cardio: “I’m more of a weights girl, although I love various types of cardio,” says Krista, who trains with a mix of both cardio and weights four times a week. “I just bought a road bike and I’m loving it for changing things up.”

“In fitness it was Cory Everson from the early ‘90s. She was an inspiration for me!”
