When I Started:
Aug, 1992
How I Started:
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.

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.

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 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.
