- Fitness Model Background
How did you get started in the fitness field?
Answer:
I got started in the fitness field by taking it upon myself to
find a position as a group fitness teacher. I started by teaching
a class I created called "Hot Core" which combines methods
from Pilates, kickboxing, and other fitness methods. I used props
such as stability balls, bands, and weights. I also got certified
in Pilates in Manhattan through Power Pilates which I started
teaching classes on the side.
What is the #1 thing you like best about being into fitness?
Answer:
The #1 thing I like best about fitness is the energy and well
being it provides me with. The healthier I am the better I feel
about myself. Every day when I finish my workout I automatically
feel great about myself.
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the fitness field?
Answer:
My biggest accomplishment in the fitness field is definitely
taking the step to open up my own studio. Now I will be able to
share my passion and knowledge with others.

- 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:
I am new to the fitness modeling agency, I personally just contacted
the photographers directly. I'm sure if you found an agency that
specialized in fitness modeling that would benefit you since they
have exposure to more.
Fitness Question #2 - Please describe
a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
Answer:
Now that I own a studio, my routine has recently changed since
I teach group fitness classes for a living. Before this I was
an accountant so I would work 9-5 every day and go directly to
the gym after work. Even if I didn't feel like it after a long
day, I would force myself and feel so much better afterwards.
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
really like Piloxing to burn a lot of calories while having fun.
It's a higher intensity fusion class that combine Pilates, boxing,
and dance. You can burn a ton of calories while having a great
time!
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:
How much weight you should focus on losing every week is going
to be a different answer for everyone. That depends on where your
body is at right now. The best way to keep it off is by following
a realistic diet approach that you can live by.
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:
I would drink a protein shake before my workout and a post-workout
shake afterwards. As far as supplements go, I take a multi-vitamin,
one for my joints, Omega-3, and CLA on a daily basis.
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:
If I get a craving for something, I will give in but in moderation.
If I am craving a Sunday from Friendlys, I will get one but in
a small and maybe only eat half. Or sometimes I substitute cravings,
for example if I'm craving ice cream I will get a frozen yogurt.
Fiber One also makes 90 calorie brownies that help satisfy my
cravings.
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:
Well, I'm a vegetarian so I have to have a lot of substitutes
for protein. I always make sure to get tofu, protein bars, beans,
salad, whole wheat bread, and cheese.
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:
If you are really not sure what to do at the gym, start with
group classes so you can follow an instructor. Once you are comfortable
being in the gym, you can watch what other people are doing. Look
for someone you would ideally like to look like and watch their
routine. Also, websites like ShapeFit.com can help you find workout
plans and ideas.
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:
If you're into seafood, its probably your safest option for eating
out. If you're not into seafood, you can still get meats but just
ask the waiter what they cook it in since you can always suggest
substitutes.

do you recommend for getting a bigger, rounder and fuller butt?
Answer:
