- Fitness Model Background
How did you get started in the fitness field?
Answer:
My love of fitness generally came from sports. I loved playing
sports growing up, and I knew to perform your best in sports,
you have to be in great shape. However it wasn't until I saw Bruce
Lee's physique, that made me say, that's how I want to look. I
knew in order to accomplish that I had to start working out.
What is the #1 thing you like best about being into fitness?
Answer:
I love the fact that I've inspired thousands of people worldwide
to get into fitness and make a lifestyle change. That is the best
thing about being in this industry to me.
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the fitness field?
Answer:
 My
biggest accomplishment is when I was featured on the cover of
the New York Daily News and on Inside Edition for my form of fitness
and my amazing fitness DVDs. People still walk up to me in the
street and say, "Hey, I saw you in the Daily News" or
"I saw you on Inside Edition and I bought all your DVDs and
they are amazing. I've never seen anyone in fitness do what you
do". I can't explain that feeling. It's the most fulfilling
feeling in the world.

- 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 in the fitness modeling industry
is to put together a strong fitness portfolio, shoot with several
different photographers and see which one or two work best for
you. Get opinions and advice from experienced fitness models and
follow their advice. Once you've done all of this, then approach
the agencies with your portfolio.
Fitness Question #2 - Please describe
a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
Answer:
A typical day for me is training clients and doing my workout.
I'm constantly challenging myself when I workout.
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:
The number one bang for the buck that will help you burn serious
calories and will also give you a full body conditioning workout
is jumping rope.
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 would say focus on losing at least 1 or 2 pounds a week depending
on what your target goal of weight lost is.
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:
 Well,
I've never used supplements so I really can't recommend what someone
should or shouldn't take. However, there are several pre-workout
meals (preferably light) before a workout and post-workout. It's
best to put protein back into your body but in a liquid form.
I have a special remedy that I have been using for years and it's
work fine for me. I use 2 bananas, 1 and a half spoons of peanut
butter and 1 and a half cups of goat milk and I blend it up. I
use the goats milk because it's actually healthier then cow milk
and it digests much easier. This shake has worked perfect for
me.
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:
I've disciplined myself. I have a 4 D system:
- DRIVE
- DEDICATION
- DISCIPLINE
- DETERMINATION
This is were the discipline usually applies. When I get those
cravings to eat junk food or fast food, I keep my refrigerator
stacked with healthy fruits and I snack on those fruits, like
oranges grapefruit, bananas, plums etc. And this is what helps
me from bingeing on junk foods.
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:
I would suggest consulting with a nutritionist. One main thing
you can do is buy lean meats.
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:
First thing to do is consult with a physician to find out if
you can enter a fitness program then I would recommend starting
off with an aerobic type program. Something that's going to build
muscle tone and strength and burn calories and lower your body
fat all at once.
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?

Hamstring curls are great as well.
