When I Started:
1992
How I Started:
At 15 years old, I saw my brother going to the gym and developing tone. He was hitting the weights hard and I sparked some interest. I went as a guest one day with him and ever since then I got hooked! I started going everyday doing the circuit machines and then a trainer introduced me to the free-weights. I loved it! After 2 years of working with a trainer, I went on my own and started reading and researching working out. I loved it and wanted to learn more about it. Then, when I was 19years old, I met some powerlifters who took me under their wing and taught me the squat, benchpress, deadlift, and other basics of bodybuilding. They saw how strong I was and continued to push me. I learned a lot from them and will never forget the grueling workouts that I went through. I was always a strong, athletic girl playing softball down to doing gymnastics, dance, and cheerleading. Thus, I always had that athletic physique which made lifting weights even easier to build muscle.
In my 20's I had two friends who always competed in bodybuilding. For a couple of years I have always went to their shows. They pushed me to compete because of my great genetics for muscle. In 2001, I had a taste of what it was like to be on the bodybuilding stage. I loved the experience and was addicted ever since then!
Why I Love It:
I love bodybuilding because it keeps me focused, on a strict regimen, and just makes me feel so good. I love pushing myself to the limit and feeling the pump in the muscles. I love being strong and feeling the high of doing cardiovascular work. I keeps me disciplined and I love the results of having a strong, toned body that makes me proud of the hard work and training that I do.
How I Stay Motivated:
Sometimes it is hard to stay motivated but I think of it as a health reason. I want to remain strong and healthy. And since I am pre-diabetic with some hypothyroidism due to hereditary factors, I find that I must continue to workout and stay healthy. It makes me feel better.
