Hi everyone!! Fall is on, and it is going to get harder to exercise outside as it gets colder. One of my favorite ways to stay in shape and toned in fall and winter is to add some weightlifting to my routine.

One of my favorite go-to ways to exercise is bike riding.

Ever since I was little, I have loved the water. It always calmed me to be near it. When I would go to the swimming pool with my friends in elementary school, we’d pretend to be mermaids. As I got older I still loved swimming, but I didn’t compete until five years ago when I first signed up to be an athlete with Special Olympics Virginia (SOVA). Since then, I have been a swimmer in three Summer Games competitions and have won nine medals. Though I try to learn new sports too, swimming will always be my go-to sport.
