When I Started:
Apr, 2007
How I Started:
I was an athelete in high school & college, so I've worked out on and off most of my life.
Once we had our son my time was dedicated to him and the wife, so my workouts pretty much went away.
Move forward some 30 years and I see a picture of myself from a hike we were on and I said to myself, I have to get back into the gym... So at 55 I started all over again.
Why I Love It:
It just makes you feel great, and seeing the results totally make the effort all worth it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I'm a very self motivating type of person, so staying motivated is not an issue for me.
BB Accomplishments:
In my first year of competitive body building I ran the board with placings from 4th to 1st. Winning at the Vancouver Natural was great & getting to go head to head in the overall was a real rush. But the 2nd place I just got at the WA. Ironman was best. I beat the competitors that had beaten me in the past, and came in the best yet. I was the best conditioned in my class, and had a good run at the win. I'll be better next year, and hopefully get the title then. But my main goal each time is to come in better than the last show, and try to bring the best package possible.

Incredable work Amy has done. I love showing her profile to many of my clients. Amy shows a woman can have a family ( a very large one ) work out to keep an incredable figure and work to achieve goals small and large. A true inspiration.
Well, I'm done seeing the Doc. He's given me the OK to start cardio, so yesterday I did my first hour on the treadmill. I'll start the bike later this week. I can't put much tension on it, but if I can ride without pushing hard, it will allow me to start teaching my classes again. Yeah... I...
