MEET CATHY

Hi, my name is Cathy and I am excited to be part of what I hear is called the blogosphere. I’m 46 years old, mother of an absolutely amazing 23 year old daughter who is my inspiration for breathing and pretty much every thing else in this world, a dedicated fitness professional for the past 20 years, owner of 4.8.12® Fitness, and now a blogger joining the multitudes of others that have something to say. This blog is dedicated to bringing a fresh and honest perspective to life and just how much it relates to fitness. My intent is to connect with all readers in efforts to bring fitness, life and common sense all together in one.
