What is your profession?
Fitness Model
Were you involved in sports or fitness prior to bodybuilding and how did you get started with weight training?
I was always involved in sports in school, basketball, volleyball, track, gymnastics, cheerleading. I was a serious tomboy as a young girl, I had three older brothers whom I played basketball with and rode dirt bikes with.
Was it a goal for you to compete in bodybuilding competitions right from the beginning or was it something that grew in your mind as time went on and you saw the progress in your body?
At first I had planned on competing, but decided to focus on the modeling aspect more.
Please tell me something about your training routine (ie: how many days per week / training split /cardio, etc.)
I train at least 5 days a week, usually an hour of weights and 30 minutes cardio. I hit each body part at least once a week. and legs sometimes twice.
What is your favorite exercise in the gym and which one you don’t like so much?
Legs and back are my favorites to train. My least favorite would be chest ans tri’s.
Which body part is your best in your opinion?
I feel my back and traps are strong and respond very fast, compared to my other body parts.
If you don’t mind would you give me some stats (best lifts and some body measurements)?
