Today we’d like to introduce you to Yaritza Medina.
Yaritza, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Since I was little, I’ve been physically active in practicing sports and dancing. My favorite sport is track and field and I specialized in 100, 200 and 400-meters sprints. In dance, I became a professional dancer performing in countless scenarios around the world with great artists such as JLo, Pitbull, Rihanna, Ricky Martin, Chris Brown, Daddy Yankee, Maluma and Marc Anthony among others.
One of my great passions was always to work on television; my perseverance, discipline and focus have been key to achieving that dream. I’ve been fortunate to have been involved in television shows as a dancer in Mira Quien Baila, actress in the Mariposa de Barrio series and as a host of Univision’s sports program ‘República Deportiva’ to name a few.
The entertainment world is very competitive, challenging and requires a good image and excellent physical condition. Sports have definitely been my best ally to meet all the demands of this market where my most recent experience in television and that marked my life was as an athlete in the second season of the Exatlon Estados Unidos sports reality show. Exatlon is known as the fiercest competition on the planet and it was here that I was able to overcome many of my fears, using my focus and drive as a weapon and to bring out the best version of myself.
After the show, I received many messages of support and admiration from people around the world and it inspired me to create this new project that I have called ‘Dale Mija’. This phrase is my inner voice and since I was a child, I’ve used it to motivate myself and remind myself that I can do anything. ‘Dale Mija’ has accompanied me in every competition, behind the scenes, scenarios and especially in each training session.
With this movement I want you to get to know my lifestyle which has been fundamental during my career to be fit and healthy. I have a responsibility to help other people meet their own goals through my advice and training. Remember that you can achieve all your goals, just listen to your inner voice… Dale Mija!
