When I Started:
Jun, 2002
How I Started:
One day, about 6 years ago, I started thinking about my dreams. I realised I had always wanted to surf. I had never done any sport before in my life and I remember going out for the first time and seeing people more than 20 years older than me ripping it up - while I was exhausted just from paddling! But I caught my first wave and was hooked! I joined the local gym to try and get fit and from there it has opened up many new doors to a life I never imagined.
Why I Love It:
I love working out because being strong enhances my quality of life, both mentally and physically.
How I Stay Motivated:
Short term: I stay motivated by seeing the results and constantly working on my mental and physical skills. I love learning new things and having fun also helps!!! Longer term: working out is a means to an end for me - being strong and having endurance makes enjoying the adventures of life so much better!
BB Accomplishments:
Miss Fitness Panama & Miss Gym Panama: Second overall.

San Blas Islands, Panama. Starting Again
This was taken in the San Blas Islands, Panama by my sister visting from New Zealand! I had done no exercise for 3 months due to work! Although I weighed 123 pounds I lacked condition and tone.  It's about time I uploaded a progress photo! And also to show that a physique is rarely in 100% condition all the time since it is necessary to train in cycles with different diets and different development objectives. I have had a rest for a couple of months and now am starting to train...

Members That Inspire Belinda Benn:
AvaCowan [ BodySpace ]
When I first started weight training last year I found Ava's photos online and was amazed at how strong and sexy she was. I went back and studied photos and articles from Ava's history until today. I was impressed at how she has developed her physique and career - through a lot of hard work and determination - competitions, her website, videos and professional relationships. And Ava's Iron Man shoot last year was so inspirational and is still one of my favourite female physique videos!
SuzMax [ BodySpace ]
Suz inspires me because she is so generous with her time - taking an interest in members here, encouraging them and checking up on their progress. Despite having a busy life and a job she finds time to really care about people - and she is a natural motivator. Often when I visit her profile I noticed all the great comments back from people who she has taken the time to build great relationships with. I admire that tremendously. And she trains hard, eats healthy and continues to see progress!

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
I understand and have been known to have the occasional outburst. But I say, conserve your energy for lifting not grunting

What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
Right now I am leaning out while still trying to maintain muscle condition. I have 3 secret foods I am eating! The first is my version of Gallo Pinto, the traditional Costa Rican breakfast, an omelet...more

I have set myself a new goal - to start boxing again and train to a level where I could fight if I want to.  I have a long way to go.  First learning how to skip properly - it's a lot harder than it looks!  Also boxing is so dynamic & fast - requiring power, agility, speed...

Aww, thank you! When I reach my goals I'll have you to thank for being a great role model. Does being a bodybuilder and having a regular job make you really busy?

Training is going good. I haven't heard anything about the MuscleTech comp. I was happy with my results, but don't feel I have a chance in winning or placing in the top 10. If I do I would be very surprised. It was a great learning experience and has pushed me to compete next year. Results should be known possibly next week. Great profile pic! Ricky

Training is real good i go and go and i am looking leaner than before... i just feel like i am the slowest guy on this site for progress sometimes. It gets a bit frustrating. I want to get ripped and i am just having a tough time losing the last few pounds of fat! I just say "patience"! lol
