Background

When I Started: May 1987
HOW I STARTED:

I got interested in sculpting my body a year ago, when I noticed that after two years of not going to the gym, I looked my age! I started to go into a deep depression, but just before I sank I had an epiphany. I would enter a contest, and I would win it! I chose the Ms. Bikini California contest , and I hired a trainer. He was exactly what I needed! I got hit by the athletic challenge of training and I hooked up with one of the most amazing trainers in L.A., herself a former bodybuilder and figure competitor, Francesca Apolito. She became one of my closest friends and my training partner. Exactly 10 months later, I have four trophies on my mantle and I now I compete in figure. Body sculpting is the best thing I ever started, and the one thing I don't ever want to finish.

WHY I LOVE IT:

Training my body has become a healthy addiction of mine. It feeds me energy and excitement, and ambition. I have met amazing people through the sport of bodybuilding, and I have changed my lifestyle because if it. I love it because it makes me feel powerful. Like I can do and be anything.

My Workout Program

I meet with my training partner & trainer, Francesca, on Monday's Through Saturday, where she puts me through an hour, 5 days of the week, of rigorous interval training, sculpting, strengthening, and toning exercises.
Later on each day I do 30-40 minutes of cardio, typically treadmill, stairmaster, or bike.
On Wednesdays and Sundays I go inline skating at the park for forty minutes or so, weather permitting, or I hike and swim .
I am trying to build well-sculpted, symmetrical lean muscle while keeping lean. My goal is to maintain a body that is two days away from competition shape year round.

Find someone to commit to doing cardio with a couple of times a week. Tonight I am going to meet a pro-boxer friend at the gym. I think it will be fun! I love training with guys, makes me be tougher!
