I used to do show jumping with horses. I had a very strong horse and needed to strengthen my arms and legs to be able to control her. I like the way you can control your body and to manage the weights.I quit competing with horses after a year and I started aiming for competing in Bodybuilding. my rolemodel that got me started was Cory Everson.
Why I Love It:
It makes me full of energy and life. I love the lifestyle and to be in cotrol of my food and training. It's amazing how you can sculpt your body to what you want it to look like and how you always can learn new things to reach that goal.
How I Stay Motivated:
I change my training routines often and I always try to learn new methods. The more you learn about how your body and muscles works the better your body will respond and improve.
BB Accomplishments:
5th in the World championships in Slovakia, 1st at Jan Tana NPC show.
4th at Europa Pro Supershow 2005. 5th at Europa Pro Supershow 2007.

MarikaJohanssonis inspired by Kaged Muscle. Reason: "He is the most amazing husband anyone can have. He always make me think postive and tells me to never give up. He lift me up when I am down ... "
I am now training hard to improve my physique and add some size to my frame.
Goal (Long):
Ever since I was an amateur back in Sweden I dreamt of one day be at the stage of Ms International or Ms Olympia. Now I am in the USA and I'm a professional athlete so I am closer than ever to fulfill my dream and accomplish my goal. I will keep my head up with hope and stay focused in the gym until that day come. My husband Kris and I have agreed to not have me competing this year and instead trying to put on 8 lbs of muscles for next year.
He is the most amazing husband anyone can have. He always make me think postive and tells me to never give up. He lift me up when I am down and push me when I need too. He is a hard worker but he alwasy finds time to help others if he can. I am so proud of him and he makes my heart beat just as fast now as wen we first met. He is my handsome and sexy looking Welsh king. Love you and love our future ! your Swedish Vikingqueen
I am happy to announce that one of my favorite product on the supplement market is finally here in USA. You might say that it has been here for a while, but no that was never the true, real product. No other similar products can compare to the REAL UNIQUE VITARGO. It all started in Sweden and I...
Marika, thank you very much for the support and encouragement. You and Kris both inspire me a great deal. Hopefully I get to the point I am doing this for a living. I know it will be a long road, but well worth the trip.
Hey, Marika. Hope you are doing well. I thought I would tell you that my videos got picked up by Worldphysique.com It is called Training With The Rock. Thanks for the comment a while back. It still motivates me today.
Hi Marika! What are your long term plans for this upcoming year? If you are going to do any shows I would certainly like to keep up on your competitions. You are rare in that even with all of your muscularity you have maintained your femininity. See you on stage!
Sweden is an awesome country...in the summer! Do you go back often to see your family? How was it to train in sport that is not so popular there like football (soccer)? I grew up in Iowa where I was the only person bodybuilding in my school. It was very trying sometimes to stay the course when I was very young.
I love the new video series! Cannot wait for the next episode! I am a visual learner and I thing it is great to see how to do things rather that just reading about them! Thank you so much!
I have never loaded up on sweets and hamburgers...but apparently it works extremely well. I may have to try that route the next go round. I have been flat in at least 60% of my shows.
Hi, Marika. I am honored that you took the time to comment on my blog. I am a fan of yours and Kris is a great guy. I am doing what I can. You both inspire me as well. I hope to be half as successful in this industry as you two are. Thanks again.
