My mother was a P.E. teacher and she was kind of a fanatic about fitness and nutrition growing up so it was ingrained in me at a young age. As I get older I'm finding out it's not about getting all buffed up and looking good. It's more about staying healthy and flexible.
I think family is very important in West Virginia and has long been so because the mountains made travel difficult in the past and family members had to depend on each other.
