Name one of biggest health/fitness setback that you overcame? I don’t consider any situation a set back, I think it’s all about the way you look at certain situations. Everything is a learning experience for me and my biggest learning experience in the health and fitness industry would have to be my first fitness competition. I learned so much about myself and how much self control I had. I realized that when you change your mindset and give something your all; you can accomplish anything.
What is the first step for someone who is trying to be fit like you?
The first step is to start. Many individuals like the idea of working out, but never get started. I like to call it plan, prepare, and execute. Create a plan, set days and times that you are going to workout, plan and prepare your meals and lastly execute the plan. It works every time and it is challenging to reach any goal without a plan in place.
What is your most problem area on your body and how do you work it out?
I am a pear shape and I am a Endomorph which means that not only do I gain majority of my weight in my lower body, but I also gain fat fast and lose it slow. I have to work extra hard to maintain my weight and even harder to lose weight. I do a minimum of 5 hours of cardio a week, such as running and the arc trainer. I also lift heavy, less reps and more sets on my upper body. On my lower body I work on lots of reps and less sets to prevent my legs from getting bigger than they are.
What is your favorite guilty please food?
My cheat meals, which are few and far between are desserts. I love sweets, but I have also learned my body. I’m not the type of person who can just take one bite, so I would rather not have any at all. Items that you can buy everyday in the stores don’t tempt me, it’s homemade desserts that satisfy my sweet tooth which makes it easier for me because you can only get to those every once in a while.
