ALISON CARDOZA
AGE 35 JOB Certified personal trainer and hip hop group exercise instructor at Baptist East Milestone Wellness Center FITNESS ATTRACTION One of the questions I am asked on a daily basis is, ‘Do you ever have a bad day?’ I feel healthy and energized because I exercise. I owe my attitude, mental and physical well being to exercise. HER PASSION I played every sport in elementary school. I even beat the boys in pull ups and track races! In high school, I danced at the Youth Performing Arts School. At the University of Louisville I was on the Ladybirds Dance team. I then went on to cheer for the Indianapolis Colts Cheerleading team after college. WORKOUT SPOT Milestone Wellness Center BEST WORKOUT Move to music! Whether it’s walking on a treadmill, or jamming in your living room, a good song can help pump you up! You are more likely to move faster and burn more calories! BIGGEST EXCUSE I try to make excuses for myself when it comes to sweets! I have a sweet tooth. I advise my clients to eat in moderation. No one is perfect. If you deprive yourself of something you really want, eventually you will eat twice as much. Makeup by Amber Schnobrich, Strandz Salon and Threadz Boutique
