Doaks - Fitness Model Background
How did you get started in the fitness field?
Answer:
I initiated my modeling career trying to do runway modeling which
was my favorite. I have a catwalk to die for! The only problem
is that I had an athletic physique that they just weren't too
fond of. Finally, I listened to what God had been telling me all
along and took the athletic route - he's a know it all! LOL. Ever
since this change, things have been going a positive route. I've
done shoots for multiple equipment companies, I started training
really hard and competed in my first figure competition in 2010
and then won overall in my first ever NPC figure competitions
twice back to back with only one week between each competition.
It is my goal to take my figure competitions to the next level
in 2012 and get my NPC pro card. Come June, I hope to make that
goal come true! As for now, I will keep training hard and getting
myself out there and remaining positive as I seek a manager/agent
to assist me in my fitness modeling career! Cheers!
What is the #1 thing you like best about being into fitness?
Answer:
 I
must say that although fitness makes me feel good, it helps me
stay around on earth a little longer, and it gives me lots of
energy but I have to say that I love how it makes a pair of stilettos
and a skirt look! There's nothing better than a nice pair of toned
legs in a mini skirt!
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the fitness field?
Answer:
I was the Overall Figure Champion in both the NPC Border States
Competition and the NPC Titans Grand Prix Championships in 2011.
They were my very first competitions with the NPC federations
and I ended up taking the sword in both with just one week in
between each show!

- Fitness Model Questions & Answers
Fitness Question #1 - What is the best
way to get started in the fitness modeling industry? Should I just
contact the photographers directly or should I use an agency?
Answer:
The best way to get started is to find a GREAT photographer to
do you headshots and some body shots and spare no expense on these!
If you have a great portfolio, you've set yourself up for a great
career! Of course, there are no guarantees with modeling except
for the guarantee that if your portfolio sucks so will your career!
It's your audition and interview before they even see you!
Fitness Question #2 - Please describe
a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
Answer:
 I
work a full time job as well, so I go to a 9-5 daily unless I
have a shoot or audition to attend. As soon as I'm off, I head
directly to the gym and workout anywhere from 1-3 hours. You must
always stay in "audition condition" because in most
cases you won't get much notice! On a shoot day, I would shower,
shave, exfoliate and wax the night before to avoid attending the
shoot bruised or whipped. I drink plenty of water and have a good
nights rest - you're going to need it in the morning!
Fitness Question #3 - I don’t
have that much time during the day to workout, so I really want
to burn major calories in a short amount of time. What is the #1
“bang for the buck” cardio exercise I should do to burn
serious calories?
Answer:
I would recommend super set workouts which is where you combine
exercises working different muscles together for a faster yet
high intensity workout. Otherwise, the elliptical machine is a
good calorie burner as well.
Fitness Question #4 - How much weight
(pounds) should I focus on losing every week? What is a safe amount
to make sure I keep it off?
Answer:
I don't believe in tracking weight to gauge progress. Use the
mirror! How are you looking and how are you feeling. A lot of
times the scale may not move but your clothing size will! Use
the scale for reference, not your Bible!
Fitness Question #5 - What type of
food or supplements should I take before and after my workouts to
help me see results in gaining lean muscle and losing fat?
Answer:
Protein is your friend!
Fitness Question #6 - How do you deal
with cravings for junk foods, sweets and salty food? I can stay
on a diet for maybe a few weeks but I eventually get really bad
cravings and binge on snacks and fast foods.
Answer:
Give yourself 1 cheat meal per week! Not a cheat day but a meal
where you can have anything you want and as much as you want in
a single setting. This works wonders without giving you a setback.
It works because it gives you something to look forward to and
encourage you to stay on the diet plan because you'll get a reward
in the end with your cheat meal!
Fitness Question #7 - I’m trying
to create a healthy shopping list to stick with. What are some of
the main foods I should include to maintain a lean and muscular
physique?
Answer:
ALWAYS purchase boneless skinless chicken breast. I suggest you
have this at least 4 times per week!
Fitness Question #8 - I’m about
35 pounds over weight. I have never started an exercise program
and really don’t know where to start. What tips can you give
me to get started on the right track?
Answer:
 Join
a gym where they offer group exercise classes. Look for a class
that uses free weights and barbells. If the class you're interested
in doesn't use one or both of these, don't waste your time!
Fitness Question #9 - I tend to eat
out most of the time and really don’t know what healthy foods
to order from the menu. What tips do you recommend for eating out
at restaurants to make sure my diet will not suffer?
Answer:
Always purchase something orange or green and avoid things fried
or cooked in fat!
Fitness Question #10 - What exercises
do you recommend for getting a bigger, rounder and fuller butt?
Answer:
LUNGES and SQUATS! They're killer but they work!
Fitness Question #11 - What is the
most challenging thing you deal with about consistently staying
in top shape?
Answer:
Plateauing (no longer seeing or feeling results from your workout).
I have to always mix my workouts up as well as the time, weight,
and the sets. The more you change, the harder it is for your body
to plateau.

Mid-Afternoon Snack: Protein shake, almonds, cold-cut
sandwich.
Dinner: Steak, baked potato, vegetable.

exercises do you include in your routine to stay in shape?
Answer:
Strength Training Exercises: Squats, lunges, chest presses,
flys, push ups, pull ups, tricep dips, bench.

Additional Training: Anything physical that you enjoy
and something that doesn't feel like you're working out when you

top 5 tips you recommend for staying motivated on a fitness plan
and truly making a healthy lifestyle change:
Answer:
1. Don't start a diet, start a lifestyle change. If what you're
doing now, you couldn't do for the rest of your life, it won't
work.
2. Give yourself 1 cheat meal per week! These helped me tremendously!
3. Surround yourself with people who are also pursuing a healthy
lifestyle.
4. Prepare your meals in advance, if not you'll find yourself
at McDonald's!
5. Keep a water bottle glued to your hand!
