Forever Fit with Carol Covino Carol Covino

I had a recent post on Instagram along with reflecting on what I truly want going forward in my life and I've come to a difficult but necessary revelation. If you've followed me or my story you know bodybuilding and competing have been a big part of my life for a long time. While I won't stop bodybuilding, I believe it's time to set away from the stage to focus on other things in my life. It takes an incredible amount of dedication and I believe it's time to shift my focus elsewhere. Listen in as you may hear part of your story in mine and glean some lessons from it!
