"Gain back the weight lost through illness and get strong!"

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Beckie Alexander
Sex: Female
Age: 38
Location: New Zealand
Occupation: Fitness trainer
Personal Website: http://www.fitkiwipersonaltraining.com
Gym: Les Mills Extreme
Gym Location: Wellington,New Zealand
When I Started: Apr, 1992
How I Started: I was really unfit from having glandular fever and my doctor suggested I join a gym to get fit-and I was VERY unfit-I failed the fitness assessment badly!!
Why I Love It: Weight training has given me the ability to transform my bodyshape and my self esteem-nothing beats that! Once a wallflower,never again :)
How I Stay Motivated: Periodisation works a wonder as does regular goal stting. Having a comp to prepare for is the best motivation though
BB Accomplishments: Competed twice-last year was my first comp having been through therapy for my anxiety disorder,major accomplishment! Also setting up my online personal training business and becoming involved with the administrative side of running shows.

Goals:
Main Goal: Live Healthier
Goal (Short): Gain back the weight lost through illness and get strong!
Goal (Long): I have good upper body shape but I've had alot of time off due to illness so I've lost muscle which I obviously need to regain in order to compete again. I want to gain back the muscle I have lost plus some more whilst maintaining my new diet plan and looking after my body better. I want to gain back the lost strength and get back to my goals of gaining strength in my shoulders and biceps :)
Weight Goal: I want to GAIN 5 kg
Bodyfat Goal: 12%

Yeah, should be good. I've stopped bulking for now, and am cutting for a bit, since I feel a little uncomfortable with the BF that I gained in the process. But my delts and arms have definitely more size, which is good (so do legs, which isn't so great), so, yeah...

How was the comp, Beckie?
Guejsn [ View Profile ]
Apr 7, 2008 1:45am
Thanks. When I'm a little leaner I will see about getting some done.
Guejsn [ View Profile ]
Apr 6, 2008 10:51pm
Yeah, I'm stoked with it! (Even if I didn't stay as lean as I would have liked during it). I can't compete with WNBF until NEXT year (rules from Danny), but I want to compete this year still, so looking at North Island Champs over in Masterton and wanting to do NZFBB Nationals in October! I know I will do well, even this year! If I wasn't so bogged down with assessments for the next 2 weeks, I would come and eatch this weekend. You'll have to let me know how it goes!

Yeah, fun. At the moment i wish i'd kept on and decided to compete. But I have gained a far amount of LBM instead, so I won't look so unbalanced in the WNBF comps. But yah, let me know how it goes. Should be great :)

Hi Beckie! I always use Phil's tan - he's a good friend of mine! I always use contest colour with Body shimmer but I just test trialed a new shimmer. We call it "poo" tan, it's fantastic. One of my girls just won her division wearing this new shimmer by Phil. Hope you're well & training hard!! xo

I don't want to be turned into a 'girly-girl' (I shudder at the thought); but I WILL embrace my feminine side and be waht I need to be for the competition!

Sorry to hear about that; I hope they can help you!!! I've decided NOT to do April's comp and focus instead on building some mroe muscle for the october/November comps. But thank you.

Hey, just found out that comp is 12 and not 19. And bout the 'seminar' on Sunday (if I'd known earlier I would have been able to go, since I'm coming down tomorrow, but am all full up). The pressure's piling on :) Hope you are feeling better!

Sorry to hear about that; hope you get better SOON! Being sick is no fun...Thanks :)...I'm down again around the 23-24th of this month; maybe you want to catch up, or in March maybe (if you feel better)?

Beckie, I will be coming down and staying the 25-28 January, now, since it is the only 'long' weekend I can have for a while, at least until study starts up again. AND at least I shall be a definite 8%BF by then too, and more on target than ever. Looking forward to it. Hope you have a GREAT holiday and time away!
Guejsn [ View Profile ]

Thank you, Beckie. I will be looking BETTER when I come and see you; aiming for that 8%! :)
