    Interview with Edward Manning

    Quote: “I never miss an opportunity to work on my health. Most of my fitness level is worked on in the gym. I also like to take hikes and use my environment to be active.”

    Q. Tell us more about who Ed is?

    A. That is an excellent question. Who I am continues to evolve as I experience life and learn new things. In short, I am a 41-year-old Black male who is an owner of a personal training company called Mpressionz Fitness LLC. I spent 15 years in the Air force as an Air Traffic Controller. When I decided to get out of the military, I decided my working life to improve the health of others through functional training and knowledge.

    Q. Tell us about your journey of being in fitness?

    A. I have always been active. My dad was a basketball coach and had a basketball in my hands since I was born. I played basketball, football, baseball, and ran track in my youth. The working on fitness for more than health started with my deployment to Iraq in 2008, that I had mentioned before.

    Q. What are some of the advantages and challenges of being fit?

    A. I believe the biggest challenge of being fit is consistency. Working out and eating right on the days that you don’t want to be necessary to reach optimum health.

    Q. What advice can you give to other people who want to be fit?

    A. The best advice I can give is to stop waiting and get active. If you’re not sure what to do, hire a knowledgeable trainer to show you how. The key though is to start moving toward a worthwhile health goal.

She started her business with the sole purpose to motivate, inspire and encourage others to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Stephanie participated in a fitness blog called “The Face of Fit” in 2013. This blog featured pictures of several women who started their fitness journey at different ages which gave Stephanie another outlet to share her story and encourage women on another platform.

    Q. What is one of your greatest experiences?

    A. During my journey I made some huge leaps of faith creating a women’s empowerment group on Facebook, starting my online boutique store, becoming a vendor at fashion shows, my store being featured in fashion shows and becoming a personal stylist. I also had my ups and downs are part of any journey like making decisions that deep down inside you don’t want to make but have too.

    Q. What advice can you give other people who want to be fit?

    A. Invest in yourself like you invest in others. We women give 100% to our exes’ careers, people and our families. We are blessed with only one body and our bodies are our temples. A temple is a holy sanctuary, when you think of a temple you connect it to God our creator. God blessed us with one temple so we should honor and protect it from harm. How do we give thanks to God for creating us? By doing the necessary things to make sure we are in the best condition possible.

  • Interview with Tori B. Walton

    Interview with Tori B. Watson

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell us more about who Tori Walton is?

    A. I am Tori B. Walton born and raised in Atlanta, GA to southern parents of whom divorced by the time I was twelve. I am the oldest of 3, I have a brother one year younger, and a sister who’s four years younger respectively. Through the years I’ve maintained a relationship with both respectively. As early as I could remember I will always be fascinated with the imaginary/exploratory aspects of life. I can remember the eighties, those great humble beginnings of playing outdoors, drinking from the water hose you name it we did it. I was always very active and athletic to include teaching myself through reading books on how to do “handsprings.” I am an introvert by nature so this ultimately led to passion as a reader and artist at a very young age.

    Q. Tell us more about your journey of being in fitness.

    A. My journey extends beyond the asphalt of physical fitness and over into the realm of “Personal Development”. I created a brand that I felt would benefit people far more than just physically. Being an instructor in the US Army I still have the teacher/coach approach with everything that I do to include fostering a learning environment for others to unlock their potential that lies within.

    Q. What has been the hardest experience in your life?

    A. The hardest experience in my life was the battle from within myself… the anxiety, post-traumatic stress and triggers which lead to depression and alcohol abuse.
