I’ve been involved in sports since I was 4 years old. I started track in 7th grade and competed in the High School New York State Championships as a senior, in the 100 meter hurdles. I even missed walking in my high school graduation for that one! I continued to compete in college, at Division I Fordham University, where I broke school records in the 55 meter hurdles and 100 meter hurdles. After college, when I decided to attend law school, I knew I needed a hobby that would keep me focused on my goals of staying fit and healthy, and allow me to compete.

The Life Health Secrets team is pleased to welcome Tara DiLuca aboard as the newest contributor to the blog. She’ll be blogging under the name ‘fit law girl.’ Tara is one of those high-energy, high-achiever people, to put it mildly – while working as a litigation lawyer, she’s won 1st place in the women’s 55 meter hurdles at the Colgate Women’s Games, Madison Square Gardens, every year since 2007 and just recently placed 1st in the 100 meter hurdle event at the 2009 USATF East Regional Track & Field Outdoor Championships, amongst other achievements.

My training regiment leading up to a competition is intense and I need a lot of energy. For 16 weeks prior to a fitness show, I work out twice a day, 6 days a week in order to look great on stage. I need a protein supplement that won’t leave me lethargic and bloated and won’t upset my stomach.
