STAYING FIT AND HEALTHY - ELIZABETH MARSHALL

MUSCLE & FITNESS - YOUR FAST TRACK TO FITNESS

Elizabeth, absolutely honored to have you on the cover this month! Everyone has their own special story about how they got involved in health and fitness, could you tell us a little bit about your journey to where you are today?

I’ve been modeling and doing art and photography projects since I was a teenager, but I really started hitting the gym in my late 20s when I started to worry about hitting my thirties and about my body and health changing as I got older. I realized that I was going to have to take care of myself if I wanted to continue looking and feeling good for the years and decades to come!

You have been in the industry a long time and have been a massive success too, how do you balance keeping fit and leading a busy life?

I’m a big proponent of the idea that people prioritize what’s important to them. Staying fit and healthy is important to me, so I’ve always managed to make time for it no matter what else is going on in my life. Learning to balance life with the gym and a solid eating routine is one of the best things that anyone can do for themselves.

You specialize in quite a few areas, what are some of the training principles you stick to?

I’m BIG about stretching. I was lucky to have a trainer early on who helped me to understand the importance of injury prevention, so I make sure to pass that on to my clients as well. I’m also big on mindset. We can all do ANYTHING that we put our minds to, including finishing that heavy set or staying consistent long-term with a gym schedule. Get your mind right and watch the rest of your life fall into place!
