DD Palacios, 39, is living in Saratoga Springs, Utah with her children. While the single mom life has not been easy, she leaves no space to be upset over her odds. The fitness junkie is paving her path to upcoming success and has transformed her house garage into a private boxing gym. After spending, what she calls a “busy day” with her kids, DD never fails to get back to her small retreat and practice some jabs, hooks, and uppercuts.

As per the latest news of Fox 13 Now, Palacios is getting ready to become the next ‘Ms. Health and Fitness’. Muscle and Fitness Hers magazine chooses an inspiring woman every year through a contest, who gets the chance to feature on the cover, and wins $20,000 cash. Talking about the motivation behind her venture, the fitness enthusiast shared, “There was something that made me feel like I want to challenge myself…and get myself in there and compete.”
