Greatest accomplishment from lifting and/or fitness in general? I stepped on stage for the first time this year and so I am especially honored to have been awarded 2nd place at Lonnie Teper’s 2012 West Coast Classic and 3rd place at the Miss Santa Monica Fitness pageant. I think though my greatest accomplishment is that my success has encouraged my closest friends and family members to pursue a healthier lifestyle!
Favorite exercise to do in the gym? Anything with kettle bells!!!
Measurements: Bust 36, Waist 25, Hips 35
Ever have guys challenge you in any sports, arm wrestling or wrestling? I trained for a few years training in kickboxing (not kickbox cardio). Last year I joined a MMA studio and saw a few raised eyebrows the first time I entered the room and was told by the class instructor that the kickbox cardio class was at a later time. I laughed it off and within the first 5 minutes of class the men in the room knew I meant business! Now I am glad to say that many of those men are my good friends!
Anything you would like to add or tell your fans? As a young woman I was considered the “bigger girl” because I naturally had a more muscular body. For many years I did not see myself as sexy and was a bit ashamed of my body because I was not super thin like the rest of my friends. Fitness changed the way I saw my body and what I was capable of. Now I know that nothing feels better or looks sexier than a healthy, fit, muscular body and hope to inspire and encourage my friends, family and clients see their potential and pursue a more healthy and active lifestyle.
