She knows her stuff

Her day begins at 2:45 a.m.

She has coffee and a pudding, thoroughly reads all daily publications, gets on the treadmill to run 8-10 miles -- then, she goes to the gym. After weightlifting and possibly a kickboxing class, she is the first one to open the doors to her office. Marta Montenegro is not only a certified personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, with two masters' degrees under her belt, she is also the founder, publisher and editor-in-chief of SOBeFit Magazine.

Marta came and spoke to our class on Thursday. She shared her insight and experiences about starting up one of the newest, trendy Florida health and fitness magazines, SOBeFit. Her magazine, with just three issues to date, has become quite the success and won five 2009 Charlie awards including the silver award for "Best New Magazine."

The magazine is great and packed with relevant, healthy advice. Marta says she has a loyalty to her readers to make sure all the content is safe and sends positive messages.

When asked her motivation to do it all, she responded with, "I just think that someone is training or working harder than me, and I want to beat that."

Like I said, she knows her stuff.
