RM: Leigh, would you like to tell us how you got into training and fitness?

LH: Sure I have always been athletic since childhood. My parents placed me in all sports to see which one I loved, which was track. Even in the early years of track part of the training and performance included the weight room. Once track was over in my life I stayed in the gym and spent more time there realizing this was my passion. I loved seeing the amazing results from my workouts and fell in love with the gym J

But by break into fitness happened once I moved here to Florida from Texas. I signed on as a spokes model for their fat burner product, was seen in ads and received covers and features as a result.

RM: In you were given one million dollars to put in a project outside of the training and health industry – what projects or businesses would you put it in?

LH: If I had a million dollars to put into any projects it would involve, disabled, sick or underprivileged kids. Helping them learn about the importance of health and belief and love in themselves. The other would be a green project to continue bettering this place we live and bringing awareness in regards to being green. Even if it’s a small step its forward movement for our future.

LH: It has been a couple of people. First and foremost my Dad. He has always been my role model since child hood and always seemed to focus on the positive in every situation and smiled in all situations as well.

The other was my Mentor and a man I respected dearly, Bob Kennedy. The man was a great visionary and had a keen eye in noticing the art of the body. He is the key reason I am in the fitness industry. His ability to make me believe and the support and guidance he gave without sugar-coating.

RM: Leigh, which are favorite movies and why specificly them?

LH: There have been so many great movies I could not give you just a couple of titles. What I can tell you is that each of the movies had a common denominator to inspire greatness, Love, Belief in oneself, and overcoming the obstacles eventually leading to success in whatever that endeavor was.

RM: What does a normal day in Leigh’s life look like, from the time you get up until you go to bed?

Depending on what’s scheduled throughout my day I write, have phone calls a lot of eati10309479_10152366604144824_6953664993778390432_nng in between.
