Have always been athletic. However, never lifted much weights. Been teaching aerobics since 1993 and Personal training since 1998. Always wanted to compete since the early 90's was inspired to finally do a figure competition held in Aug 2005. started training for it in Feb 2005. I won 1st in the Masters and 2nd in tall class. Since then I have been competing.
Why I Love It:
It's my anti-depressant. It cost nothing to do just your effort, which I believe to be priceless. I enjoy the way it makes me feel and I enjoy helping others obtain that feeling. Exercise is so underrated, it can be the cure for many things if people would just try it and put fourth the effort. Remember the IRON never lies to you it can be your friend.
How I Stay Motivated:
CHOICE. It's a choice to press fourth. It's a choice to quit as well as persevere. Life is dealt to us in many different ways, but the bottom line is the life you have it's your choice to improve it, maintain it or settle for it. There are a few people God has placed in my life that are there for a reason. To help me stay motivated when I want to make the choice not too persevere. God and my husband are two main ingredients to my life that I need to maintain my endurance. I have a few (I do mean a few)close friends that always have my back,they know who they are to them I say THANK YOU!
BB Accomplishments:
2008 Earning IFBB Pro Card. and Yes DIET! UGH! I love to eat. Keeping a strict diet is a big accomplishment for me. Check out my competition history. Each show is an accomplishment for me because well Life it happens and STILL you have to RISE!!

Goal (Long):
Goals have changed- God has done it again-WOW! What an awesome father I have. My next step was to do the Arnold Amatuer BUT I must send my letter to decline now. Since going Pro WOW! that sounds so good. Pro Debut 35 weeks till Jacksonville Pro. Continue figure and help show women that muscle is beautiful, sexy and still hot! But get the word out about what Figure is. I compete against myself. There is no other body like your body and I strive to improve this body I have. I have two goals to perfect my presentation on stage and to continue to reshape my legs-not just build muscle-but shape. Ladies there is a difference. Long term goal- grow some gastrocnemius (CALVES) there not in my genetic factor but I can make them apart of my future body lol., continue to improve ham glute tie in- I still have to RISE - Maya Angelou
What is the one tip you would give somebody who is just getting started?
Learn proper form and be patient. Every excerise shoud have a purpose. Learn it. Never do it just because someone else is. Always ask-What am I doing? Why am I doing it? and is it doing what it is supposed to? Learn proper form and be patient. Every excerise shoud have a purpose. Learn it. Never do it just because someone else is.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
Tendonitis in elbow. about 3weeks. Had to lay off lateral raises and front raises.
Description: Core work. It's not just about abs-this exercise is an awesome core strengthener. Your core is more than abs it is your Erector Spinae, hip flexors, and Abdominals. This ab roller exercise will hit it all!People with back problems should consult a Doctor before attempting this exercise.

Weight training
Currently I lift heavy about 12-15 reps of every exercise. LEGS well thats a little different-I do about 10-16 sets of leg press. OUCH HEAVY!!! Squats lunges stiff legs leg extension and curls
peace and blessing to you my sister . i am doing fine. my first contest was great . i got second in the novice. i could have done better if my legs was bigger but i happy i at least got a trophy but next contest i will do better in my dialing and my definition and muscle size i was the smallest one in the contest. but everyone said i was good.one guy told i should have pose a whole lot better and i would have won
It was a wild and crazy week for everyone I think! This Is One Reason why I love to workout! We can let it all go from day to day out here in the gym. Have a Super Rest of the Day and a Great Week to Come. Much Love! RICO
I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP IN TOUCH. i may have to pick your brain every now and again to look anything close to as good as you do. your back shot is AMAZING and very MOTIVATING. NEVER QUIT!!!
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I am so excited about what life has in store for me in this transformation. Keep up the good work. I will continue to follow your path.
