Fit Status:
Working out hard and swimming in the oceans! I love it!!
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 NPC 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.
