Every girl groups energized me, but Girls’ Generation’s Soo Young became the biggest help to me.
Every year, I laid out a strategy of what I was going to do, and I was very successful. In 2003, I wanted to take the world by storm, and I did that indoors. In 2004, I wanted to run fast; I did that. In 2005, I wanted to be dominant, and I did that as well.

The most difficult part for me is consistency when my schedule gets really busy, but working out every day is therapeutic.
I don’t know how to relax. I get so edgy and instantly I’m ready to go. I don’t like to waste any time. I try to use up every minute until I get tired, and then go home, rest for an hour, and then go. But I don’t ever actually relax.
When I was growing up, my parents were too cheap to buy a snowblower, so my crippled butt was out clearing the whole driveway every winter. It was hell.
Just staying consistent and doing something every day, whether it’s walking, jogging, squats, weights at home or going to the gym. I feel like a little bit of something every day is very helpful.
