Always stayed fit, but started lifting in 2000 after a bone thinning diagnosis...which was reversed by lifting...back to normal. Had the best trainer I could have possibly found..PHIL GRECO (veteran body builder/trainer from Venice, CA; met in FL and he changed my body and life! Thanks Phil!!!)...did everything he taught me in and out of the gym...it's not just about lifting!
Why I Love It:
It makes me feel and look the best I can possibly be! And, talk about keeping you young (in more ways than one)...unless you go foolish with buying into propaganda and do silly things like turning yourself into a freakazoid...it is the bomb!!! Who can resist looking and feeling this great? Gotta love it! A challenge for life...not just a show.
How I Stay Motivated:
Getting Naked every morning and night and taking a look! Who needs scales? See me, feel me, touch me...just like the song says!
But always remember this:
"The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul."
Stay beautiful inside always and forever!
BB Accomplishments:
Overcoming osteopenia, changing the entire shape of every body part, and avoiding neck surgery (three herniated discs in the neck with a warning of losing function of both arms with a rod put in my neck...OH YEAH DR...Meet PHIL!
On top of this I'm actually modeling at 51...how cool is that? :)

Goal (Long):
Fill out my forearms, more muscle mass in my legs, butt, shoulders.. and more overall definition while retaining a strong but FEMININE appeal! I like to keep my bodyfat low, but not too hard looking...
Haven't taken my stats in a while...I'll add them later.
Description: I love this video because Tina is a shining example of what hard work, perserverence, determination, and overcoming obstacles in life and spirit are all about...as is body building...we all need to strive to be "Simply the Best"!!!
The essence of Body Building and Life! And you can't beat those legs and showmanship...it's all about ATTITUDE and CHOICE to do what you're capable of...no matter what.
CHOICE: is first and formost in a healthy lifestyle. We have to want what we set out to attain. Once our minds are set and we can visualize our goals, we can follow through and succeed!
Fitness training for any age, accompanied by a "lifestyle" of healthy living results in...
uuuuhhhhhhh, my birthday is coming up 38 and I am also celebrating it again. I am always working and on one uniform or the other so I celebrate those special days with friends. Family is too far away.
Hey, I will be 38 in the next two months and people say I look early 30's late 20's so age is just a number. It is just how you feel that makes your age. hahah
Yup...workout machines 1 - calendar 0! IF I keep at it for another 15-20 years, I might be able to lift as much as you did 5 years ago! (And thanks for telling me I'm not old!)

Very impressive level of fitness at 51. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication. I'm 41 and, like you, adjusting to life with bad cervical discs. Wrestling is done for me, now it's fitness and powerlifting! I'm in as good of shape as I have ever been in and plan to get better.

Me -- get naked?!?! The last time I did that, somebody called the ASPCA.
Maybe when I get down to my goal of 225 pounds I'll show a little skin. But until then, all there'd be is fat.
