Who in your family has been the most supportive to you, and why? (does not have to be about competing)
The person in my family that has been the most supportive to me would be my MOM and why- because she has always supported me in my athletic career..
Purple"]I started running track in the 7th grade...Im getting old so I cant remember if my mom was @ my meets during my MS yrs (but 9 times out of 10 she probably was there)...but when I got to HS...she was at all my meet close and far away...she went to my local field hockey games too (I did this so I didnt have to run cross country..lol...just a lil 2 far...smile) while in high school. During college she wasnt able to go to all our meets...my team was made up mostly of east coast athletes so we went back to the east coast every yr for a BIG track meet called Penn Relays in my birth place city - Philadelphia...my mom would always sit @ the finish lines and tell the other die hard fans to watch out for me...even during HS. When I stopped running track my mom was very disappointed because she felt I still had it in me...I had lost the desire to run and when u dont have the desire you wont perform...So I took up working out in the gym again and then I started doing shows and my mom was right there for me again...she loves what I have sculpted my body into. The past month she has been very supportive when it came to me trying out for American Gladiators...when I had given up because I didnt hear anything she was still encouraging me and speakin positively about them calling...she would say they have up to the day b4 bootcamp or even during bootcamp to call you so dont give up...When I meet my mom's friends I know she is PROUD of me because they tell me all the stuff she says and tells me how they love my pictures and keep up the great work.
How does weight training help you in other areas of your life? (give us an example)
Weight training helps me a lot in other areas of my life...
One GREAT example is my JOB:
I am a middle school physical education teacher/track and basketball coach. In this position I am able to teach the students and athletes the benefits of working out and eating healthy. During our PE unit I take the students thru a demo session...I show them how to do the weights properly, I tell them about breathing, I tell them about having a workout partner. Answering this question has insipired me to have an open gym session after school. After the track season I will stay after school so the boys and girls can workout. I will have 2 days each for them. Then at the end of the school year we can have a lift off- to see who is the strongest boy or girl in the bench and squat and if they can out lift Coach Long...smile
Everyday I get a boy to tell me his muscles are BIGGER than mine...he seems to do it around his friends and when I bring out my guns I seem to shut him up and his friends walk off all talking about him...LOL
Your most successful routine?
My most successful routine has been all over them except 1...smile
Ive always did my own routines and Ive even added on to them the night of...lol
The one that wasnt successful was at my Pro debut last yr....the music man stopped my music early...I was one HOT competitor...As a Pro our routines count in our score and I looked VERY LOST when it happened. So I knew my placing was in trouble...my competition all had props and outfits and I didnt. One of the gurls even did the same song as me...To my surprising I WON...smile
Your opinion on children and weight training?
My opinion about children and weight training is that I think its ok for MS/HS children to work out...I think coaches should teach them the basics and tie in cardio workouts. I dont think they should lift heavy unless they are in HS and doing powerlifting...I wish I had that in school...That would have been fun. I also think if the athlete is a shot putter or a discus thrower they should be on a different weight training program than the runners and jumpers.
Name 5 pros that impress you the most, and why?
The 5 Pros I am impress with the most are:
Lenda Murray-
I got my fav pose I do from her...front lat and on my toes...I would love to meet her one day!!! Plus she is a former runner like me.
Tina Chandler- my former posing partner and good friend
Lisa Bickels-
Debi Laszewski
Mah Ann Mendoza- I met her and she is very cool...
I picked all of them because I love their physiques...I think all of them represent the total pacakge a FBB should carry. When it comes to Tina, Lisa, Debi and Mah Ann they have a physique that is not too BIG or too small but just right.
Hello everyone....well, let me give this a shot...lol
Who supports me the most?:
That would have to be my children. At 15 and 12 they understand what I do, why I do it and what I go thru especially when I prepping for a show. They make sure I put nothing in my mouth except what is on my diet, they hide food from me when I am weak, they take my progress pics when my trainer needs them, they encourage me when I'm down, they help me with housework when I'm just too tired to do it. They put up with my moods and crabbiness. And despite it ALL...in the end, they still love me for who I am.
How does weight training help in other areas in my life?:
I am a trainer, so being healthy and fit can only benefit when a client sees results that I get from weight training. I want woman to know that at the young age of 45.....its never too late to get in shape, be healthy and confident and have the body that you desire. It also benefits my children seeing their mother workout, train hard, eat healthy...leading by example can only be an advantage for them now and in the future.
Most successful routine?:
Well I"ve only done one...My very first BB competition. The Mr. Missouri 2006 I won first place lightweight, first place masters, best female poser and the overll. It was a great show.
Children and Weight Training?:
HELLO!?!?! Have you seen the kids today??? Heck yeah..and ONLY my opinion, but I think every child in HS...should be required to take weight training. (given there are No health issues). I see young girls walking around today with a coke in one hand, cheeseburger in another and a belly hanging over their jeans that should be outlawed. Weight training can only be a great start to a healthier future.
5 pros that I admire:
1. Gina Atiotti - I absolutey love her physique. Her overall look is beautiful.
2. Antionette Thompson - Thats the bodybuildind BODY that I want when I go back to light weight bb.
3. Angie Semsch - Great friend and supporter.
4. Amy Fry - I love you legs...
5. Ronnie Colemen - OK...THE MAN JUST ROCKS!!!
