Meeting Gabbana

I'd like to first say that my government name is not Gabbana, I don't have a lover named dolce and I'm not even Italian (even though i think i was in a past life).

My name is Layra, pronounced: Lie-ra! I’m FULL Puerto Rican, so dont forget to roll that “R” in my name.

Fitness & Co. is my blog where I am sharing ALL of my secrets on BALANCING "College" and Fitness because it not always easy to do so!

what inspired me?

I am a senior in college majoring in exercise science with a minor in athletic coaching. I have a pretty busy life juggling work, class, being president of two organizations, in a sorority and maintaining a social life makes it difficult to go to a gym every day,let alone manage my stress and I know their are more people like me out there. I wanted to start blogging but I didn't know where to begin.

A friend of mine said " Find something your passionate about."

then it hit me! FITNESS! I love to workout, and eat healthy, but as a college student alone that's easier said then done! Straight into college your bodies at risk and i'm not talking about STD's im talking about the Freshman 15 resulting from the late nights of munchies and booze. I've been there and done that. In college, your money is tight rather you live on campus or ( its even worse) if you live off campus. (AGAIN, been there doing that! ) But, eating healthy on budget (Say what?!) its not impossible.

Along with health challenges you will face in college, Students will encounter a lot of stress (Hence, the "& Company"). Because I know transitioning into college wasn't the easiest and stress-free. i'll provide advice from only situations I do know and have experience in. No one likes a hipocrit.)

Pen Name: Fitness & Gabbana

The only lights my name is in is probably your computer or cell phone(for now) but you cant rush greatness-- Just like a new sexy body doesn't appear after one workout.

Just as Dolce and Gabbana produce amazing couture pieces from months of hard work, I aim to guide you to your dream couture body.
