When I Started:
1991
How I Started:
Well in 1990 prior to joining the Army I had to lose 15lbs. I ran every night after school for 6 months to lose the weight. I've always been a heavy child. When I entered the Army lost more weight, ofcourse. Basic training physical training at that time were always side-straddle hops, push-ps, sit-ups then go or a 2 or 3 mile run. After Basic training, I went to Virginia for Advanced individual training where I met the only female that I knew who lifted weights. She was also my Drill Sergeant. I was bold enough to ask her about it, back then you didn't ask a DS nothing personal or you get SCUFFED UP. After that she brought me to the gym with her, after training was complete ofcourse. She encouraged me to bodybuild. I never forgot her for that. I never had a chance to tell her thanks. DS Abrams was and is a definite motivational factor for me since I have just finished a tour as a DS at Fort Jackson. That is how I got started.
Why I Love It:
Bodybuilding to me is like pottery art. You start from a thick block of clay and you slowly and patiently pick away the clay not needed to make a beautiful piece of art. I also love it because it is a great stress reliever.
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing the change in my body.

Members That Inspire QueenIrie72:
QueenIrie72 does not have inspirational members yet.
Single dumbbell curls wuth the palms facing forward throughout the whole movement so as to not involve my shoulders in the movement and keep the focus on the biceps.
Currently I'm working with Tim Gardner of Tampa and we are attempting to keep my muscle while losing fat so I stick with low impact cardio in AM prior to my first meal and workout a 5 on/2 off split. I do alot of compound movements with some shaping exercises.
Hey Girlie, it's me Lisa from work. I justed wanted to say hi...Hi. Keep up the great work and good luck with all aspects of your training. I will be your cheerleader....cuz u know I think you're awesome!
