 Ms. World Physique Contestant
|
 I am from Woodbury, MN. I am 29 years old and have been happily married for two years. I currently work as a Certified Veterinary Technician and recently also graduated with my B.S. in Biology.
Growing up I was in both cheerleading and dance, but I started working out in a gym in 2003. I had some health issues that caused me to gain a little bit of weight in the fall of 2010. In January 2011 I met a personal trainer at my gym (Lifetime Fitness) and he encouraged me to do a fitness competition. With his help and guidance I transformed my body and did my first show in October 2011. I placed 4th in the Bikini Open Division! I will be competing in two more bikini competitions in the spring of 2012! My favorite time of day to workout is in the morning. There is no greater feeling to me than getting my workout done right away before I start the rest of my day. It gives me the energy I need to get through the day and I love knowing I have the evening to relax. I love resistance training. I love the feeling of being strong. I always used to think weight training was for men, but when I was taught how to do it right my body changed like I never thought possible!! I do like a little bit of cardio, but weight training makes me feel great both during and after. My workout plan consists of an upper body resistance day, lower body resistance day, full body resistance day. One or two days of circuit training and one day of light cardio. I love the balance. My best fitness tip I could give to others is to switch up your routine. It keeps you motivated and has great benefits for your fitness goals. Also, make it fun!!! A favorite quote of mine is, "Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true". -Leon J. Suenes Voting begins January 3, 2012 |
