It was all about\u00a0sculpting<\/em>; I worked my butt off isolating muscle groups and lifting as heavy as I could. It was a little boring (I knew every Monday would be exactly the same as the Monday before), but I looked fit and that was enough for me at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n Berry noted that she \u201cbegan to see fitness as a way to care for my health and my body\u201d after learning she has diabetes. \u201cI began to focus on\u00a0feeling<\/em>\u00a0fit more than\u00a0looking<\/em>\u00a0fit and my workouts became acts of self-care,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n The Ohio native \u201cwanted to be strong and healthy for my kids\u201d after welcoming daughter Nahla<\/a> in March 2008 and son Maceo<\/a> in October 2013. \u201cI wanted to be around for them as long as possible,\u201d she detailed. \u201cI wanted to be able to carry them out of a burning house if I needed to.\u201d<\/p>\n
