I started 'playing' with weights as a pre-teen. I made a lot of nutrition blunders, and have finally gotten in shape. I teach Zumba 4 hours a week to maintain consistent cardio.

I love the feel of pushing my muscles and devour articles on exercise methods. I attended my first NPC competition in 2010, expecting to do 'research' on figure competitions. I was INSTANTLY attracted to bodybuilding, because it seemed so much more focused.
