Overall Goal: Thanks for your votes & for getting me through Round #1 for the BodySpace SpokesModel Competition! Ask me about the training/nutrition program specials I'm running this month! Sign up for my FREE Newsletter at www.GoddessAthlete.com
Fit Status:
Just placed 4th at the NPC Sac show! Nationals is in two weeks. I'm so excited!
I've been active since I was a couple of months old, when my mom started me in swimming lessons. Since then, I've done volleyball, track, softball, soccer, swimming, bodybuilding, yoga, martial arts. But I really got serious in 2006 when I moved to Hawaii and ate a few too many avocados. I realized that I had let my body and fitness level go and was determined to win a figure competition. In 4 months, I went from 26% BF to 12% and won my first figure competition!
Why I Love It:
I love feeling strong and powerful! I love pushing my physical/mental limits and achieving things I once thought were not possible. Plus, it's fun lifting more than guys and demonstrating that women are not the weaker sex!! :)
How I Stay Motivated:
I am a coach, teacher, and trainer. I can't ask someone else to do something that I am not willing to do myself. I believe in walking my talk. And being able to inspire others makes it all worthwhile.
BB Accomplishments:
Placing in the top 3 at my first two professional competitions!

Goal (Long):
While I teach at a college and a gym and inspire others on a daily basis, I want to bring my inspiration to an international audience, helping others reach their infinite potential in fitness, health, or whatever their ultimate goal is. I have been able to achieve so much, transforming my mind/body/spirit through dedication, persistance, and believing that all things are possible, and I want to see that for others as well. I am on my way to being a full time fitness model, so that I can affect a larger audience and teach people how to do what I do. What I have done is something everyone can do. They just might need a little guidance in order to get there.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 15 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
6%
Upcoming Contest:
Track and Field (100m, 200m) and Pro WNBF Bodybuilding and Figure Competitions
What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Improper sequencing of exercises, skipping the fundamentals (correcting for postural imbalances or doing advanced moves too soon) overtraining or performing a lift with incorrect technique.

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
Right now I'm on a high and low rep range. I'm out to build as much muscle as possible, which means that I need to stimulate both my type I and II muscle fibers. Doing sets of both high and low reps will accomplish this.Right now I'm on a high and low rep range.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
Depends on my program. When I'm super-setting, I do zero rest. When I'm not, my rest ranges from 90 seconds to 3 minutes.

Hey, I just created my first blog called "Degrees of Muscular Definition". I think you'll find it a very information read. Let me know what you think about it too. Thanks, Tom
Chrissy, thanks for the friend's add. i took a look at your website. i especially found the videos on bicep curl positioning and the russian twist informative. Keep up the good work. Maybe you'll find some time to do a class down here in San Diego. Tom
Whats up girl, how was your halloween, hope the training is going well. I did a 4 mile run this mroning and going after another 4 miler this afternoon. Gotta lose the weight before thanksgiving, lol. TTYL
Thanks for the comment. The training is somewhat sporadic now, which I find very frustrating, particularly given I used to train 6 days a week religiously. work and kids just drain me, but your story is one of those that truly inspired me. I will post pics soon. Tucson, huh? Whereabouts did you live?
You know how Viking fans feel about Cowboys.I have despised that team since 1970 when i was a wee lad.Too much HX.Like nails on chalk board.I hope we get a shot at pretty boy Romo in playoffs.
Hey you. Hows the fatigue coming along? I know all about it. I was in bed for 5 days now sick as a dog. Trying to get back into things. Trying to avoid the scale like the plague
