How often do you exercise? Daily. Be it lifting weights or going down the slides with my tornado.

What type of exercise do you do? Weights. I 'do' cardio to keep my insides healthy, but adore the weights. I started after I saw Terminator 2, and have never looked back (well once. to see what was happening with my glutes!

What gets you to workout, even when you're feeling lazy? My family. I want to be around a long long time.

What's on your MP3 player? Don't use an mp3 player (I KNOW! shocking).

Favorite healthy food? Sushi

Favorite not-so-healthy food? Hmmmmm lots and lots of sushi? Though that's worse for my wallet than my waistline.

Greatest fitness accomplishment? Competing in a bodybuilding competition. But when I arrived that day, I found it wasn't drug-tested. Read: I was WAY SMALLER than all the other women. I decided it wasn't about winning, but about being the best Carla I could be.

Best fitness advice? Just DO IT. Sure, take the time and find a fitness endeavor you love, but STOP MAKING EXCUSES! If you can't do it for you, do it for your loved ones!
