I love showing my children, nieces and nephews how to live a balanced healthy lifestyle while loving and helping others.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lana Cooksey in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
"I love being over 40 because of the strength and resilience I’ve gained through life’s experiences. Each challenge has equipped me with valuable tools that not only empower me but also inspire me to pass these lessons on to my children. Embracing this stage of life allows me to embrace my authentic self and share wisdom, making me a better role model for the next generation."
How do you stay fabulous?"I stay fabulous after 40 by embracing a balanced life as a mom and gym owner. Prioritizing self-care is key—I carve out time for fitness, which not only keeps me physically strong but also boosts my mental well-being. I focus on nurturing my relationships, creating joyful moments with my family, and supporting my partner. Additionally, I invest in my personal growth through ongoing learning and challenges, which fuels my passion for life and keeps me vibrant and engaged in everything I do.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I won $40,000, I’d expand Lana’s BarBelles by increasing capacity, hiring more trainers, or adding new services like post-rehabilitation fitness. To support my community after Hurricane Helene, I’d offer free or discounted classes, create a relief fund for those affected, and partner with local businesses for charity events. I’d also host women’s health workshops and consider setting up mobile fitness centers for people unable to access regular gyms due to the devastation.
