When I Started:
Jan, 2005
How I Started:
I've always been pretty active. I played basketball and ran cross-country in highschool. During that time I was thin and in pretty good shape (cardiovascularly), but didn't have any real muscle definition in my upper body or abs. Then, during college, my perfectionism and a bad relationship got the best of me and I ended up developing anorexia. In about 7 months, I dropped from a healthy 126 to a scary 93 pounds. Everybody in my family was so scared for me and convinced me to give up on the relationship. My brother also encouraged me to start lifting. I started by just doing some toning/aerobic videos with light weights. Then, when I switched schools and moved out of state, I joined an LA Fitness and started lifting weights more seriously. I haven't stopped since.
Why I Love It:
I feel so great after a long tough workout. It gives me so much confidence and such an adrenaline rush. I just love it when I am lifting as much or more than the guys at the gym or when I am able to increase my reps or weights.
How I Stay Motivated:
The gains in strength that I see in the gym & in my daily life motivate me to keep working. I also find inspiration in seeing and hearing about other people's transformations.
BB Accomplishments:
well... not sure if this is much of a bb accomplishment, but I was chosen for transformation of the week in September, 2007.
This was taken when I was 117-120 pounds. This was right after high school. I exercised about 5 times a week, but it only consisted of running, tae-bo, and biking. Look at the pathetic excuses for biceps- embarassing. I thought that I was tough!
Struggling with diet a little, but abs seem to be showing more definition.
Over the past several months, I’ve been approached for fitness and health advice by many people. I’m always flattered by it and I am more than willing to share whatever I can in order to help them achieve their goals. However, it seems that the majority of the these people want an easy answer...
3-Way Split: 6 days on, 1 day off per week; Abs & Cardio (40-60 min.)everyday
Monday, Thursday: Arms & Chest
*Unless otherwise noted, I do 4 sets of each exercise(Reps: 12,10,8,6). I lift successively heavier weights with each set & combine two lifts from different body...
