When I Started:
Feb, 2005
How I Started:
It was always a dream of mine to compete, and I started this journey because I was challenged to do so.
Why I Love It:
I love being able to sculpt my physique through hard work. Lifting weights is a spiritual experience for me and gets me through to the other side of any situation I am dealing with.
How I Stay Motivated:
My motivation comes from diverse sources. Just as I am a multidimensional person so are the reasons that I workout and compete. Additionally, I am a person with intense drive to always push for a better physique. It is that drive inside of me that keeps my spirit alive and pushes me everyday. This lifestyle has given me much purpose and direction. Bodybuilding is an integral part of my continual path toward self betterment.

Ava, you inspire me so much- i saw an ad in my oxygen mag yesterday with you in it! what motivates you most to get to the gym and stick to your diet? is it easier to stick to all of that once your body looks good? ive just been having a hard time practicing what i preach lately and need a little advice from someone who has made it herself. I hope one day to be a fitness model and I wish to compete next year any advice is good advice. -Dani
