When I Started:
Jun, 1994
How I Started:
Well it all started with my mom picking me up from school bringing me home then her saying "bye bye im going to the gym!! see you later" so i guess i was kinda brainwashed to thinking that the gym was part of everyday life. I also had weights at my house and was always athletic. Being the youngest of 4 and having a weight problem i was very discouraged and had a bit of a chip on my shoulder. Lifting weights and boxing really help me escape the real world. As time passed i started seeing some results so i wanted to learn more. I was involved in the weight lifting club at school and started doing my own research online and reading magazines. My quest for knowledge grew and my love for the gym became so great that i decided to become a personal trainer. I Knew i had to be in the fitness industry. Now i"ve been working out for over 12 years and personal training for about 5 years and i'm still looking for more.
Why I Love It:
I love bodybuilding and fitness because it really lets me release some aggression that needs to come out. Not to mention that i am amazed at the way the human works!!! Being able to transform what you look like, how you preform and how others see you. I would never have been able to build my confidence in every other aspect of my life if it was not for the gym. The body is ment to be in motion and getting the blood flowing make me feel GREAT!!
How I Stay Motivated:
Staying motivated is not so tough b/c sometimes you need to just stop and think about how many other people in this world are less fortunet then i am. Im not rich Im not poor but i do have to work for everything and working out helps me keep my life discipline. To be honest though I need more, Im ready to take the next step towards competitions and fitness modeling which is why i'm starting this bodyspace.
BB Accomplishments:
Becoming a great personal trainer and helping other get motivated and meet their goals. I have changed my body so much and am very proud of it but now its time to become a champion. I have CHAMPIONSHIP BUG!! Im Hungry for it and i hope this site will help give me that push i need!! THANX EVERYONE!!

What bicep workout has worked best for you?
For Bicep work to be honest a nice drop set of 10reps starting from 45lbs dumb bells all the down to 5lbs so i can really squeeze. I like to Hit that on back days b/c bicep is secondary muscle group and got hit hard already.For Bicep work to be honest a nice drop set of 10reps starting from 45lbs dumb bells all the down to 5lbs so i can really squeeze.

What tricep workout has worked best for you?
Skull Crushers with dumb bells work great b/c it also each arm to work as an individual. there for the dominate arm cant do most of the work.
You know, everyone feels nervous - that is very normal. The first time is also the hardest. What sets achievers apart from ordinary people is that they are prepared to do the hard things that other people aren't. You have a winning attitude. Now to become a winner, you need to take those hard steps. You wont look back. You have so much potential, seize the opportunity and go for it! Belinda
Hey there!! Thank you so much! That put a smile on my face today! Love your avi as well. What kind of artist are you? Have you decided to enter that comp? Your photos are looking excellent....keep training hard! Belinda
