HOW I GOT STARTED

Hello Fitness enthusiasts! My name is Doni and this is my story. As a kid, I had lots of energy...so much so I would drive my parents crazy. By the time I was two, my mom had enrolled me in gymnastics lessons through our local city program. I don't recall being very coordinated at first (and I still occasionally have an extra left foot that gets in the way), but I was having fun and no longer damaging walls doing cartwheels down the hallway! Mom was very happy about that, let me tell you! After many years of practice, I started competing on a team and my love for the sport grew. It developed a natural ability for just about any other sport or P.E. class I had. And then...one fateful day...it happened. I fell off the uneven parallel bars and broke my back. While I originally thought my athlete days were gone, I became aware during the rehabilitation process that all was not lost and a new story was about to be written. Today I am, for the most part, fully healed and realize that we are human sometimes bound by uncontrollable obstacles that temporarily or permanently limit our physical superpowers. 
I use the word superpower here because what you do is not governed by your physical capabilities, but rather what you THINK you can or cannot do. We all have the power of our own minds, don't let yours hinder you. I challenge and encourage you to find your own unique  superpower...it lies within all of us.
