Fitness and being active have always been a big part of my life. Growing up it was gymnastics, track & field, and cross country. In college I picked up my love for aerobics and group exercise classes in fact I was even a step aerobics instructor for a couple years. After college I needed an outlet for all of my energy and joined a local gym to stay in shape. Joining a local gym turned out to be the best idea as this is where I met my husband Doug Martin. Doug really helped give me a foundation for weight training. While I knew some of the basics, he helped me understand proper form, the concepts of sets, and what exercises should be paired together. After I started getting the hang of it, I was hooked. I also have to credit my husband for sparking my interest in figure competitions. He was preparing to compete in bodybuilding at the 2007 Indianapolis NPC Bodybuilding and Figure championships and encouraged me to compete in figure. This was one of the best experiences of my life, I placed 1st in my class and won the Overall title. Needless to say, I’m hooked again
Why I Love It:
Fitness is something that has always been in my heart and mind. It gives me goals to work towards and makes me feel happy and confident. I often feel compelled to be the best me I can be and staying healthy and strong certainly support this.
How I Stay Motivated:
I love to set goals for myself and work towards them.
BB Accomplishments:
OMG! I recently won the OVERALL figure title and my IFBB Pro Card at the 2008 NPC USA Figure Championships. Certainly the most incredible day of my life!!
Hey, thanks Amy! I'm sure I'll be supporting and cheering you at an IFBB contest soon. Here in Cali, they're all over. Luv the new graphics, and the sensational results you always exhibit. Have a fantastic day!

Hey, gorgeous lady. Such fantastic results shown. Wish I could've taken a pic with ya in Vegas. You truly bring it to the stage. Have a wonderful week.
I am back from IFBB SA’s. I got a controversial 3rd place. I don’t want to go in to the whole issue. The decision has been made and nothing can change it. No need for me to rumble on about the issue. I have uploaded photos and the top 3 comparisons under my progress pics. I also uploaded my posing routine under the video clips. I say the truth lies in the pictures. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
