When I Started:	Jan, 1984
How I Started:	Email: christinelanois@hotmail.com I've been training with weights for approximately 28 years and also have previously competed in gymnastics. In 1987 I began competing in bodybuilding, in the Lightweight class, and did very well: earning first and second placings including national level up to 1990. Then I took a long hiatus from the sport: attending school, becoming a registered nurse, working as a personal trainer, getting married, and having a child. Now I am single mom. I think turning back to weights and competition was a search for strength during the rough patches in my life. I quickly regained the fit form I once had and again began winning, only now in Figure competitions. Today I am muscular but still feel very pretty and feminine ... as a woman should feel. When I train, it's a passion, not work. I enjoy training because it makes me feel young at heart -- especially at age 47.
Why I Love It:	I love fitness because I am an athlete and nothing less. At one time a friend sent me a message and compared me to fine wine….."You are like fine wine……..you get better with age". This should be true for all of us………we choose our path in life……..good health will open doors to all your dreams……..train with passion and from your heart. This is my passion. I consider my training a form of art ……Remember we are artist…It's my creation.... ….I’m a sculpture that needs to be defined down to perfection …..the final results is a brilliant masterpiece!! …….My photos are a work of art…created from the heart…… Christine Lanois National figure Athlete "Forever Young"
How I Stay Motivated:	I find my passion for competing is a great motivator in itself. Competition has always given me great confidence and self-esteem to pursue other challenges in my life. It also has helped me surmount the struggles in my life. Remember, it is never too late to start a fitness program or competition. I challenge all the young and especially those over 40. Another motivator is Laura Binetti (1999 World Champion Bodybuilder and 5 time Miss Olympia Competitor) who has been my trainer for the last 22 years and also my new trainer Mike Davies. They both have taught me great knowledge and discipline in being the best I can be. We all need great trainers for guidance and support.
