- Fitness Model Background
How did you get started in the fitness field?
Answer:
For as long as I can remember I have been very active. Always
exercising and always looking for new routines to achieve higher
goals. When I felt that I hit a plateau in my training, I became
even more determined to "break" that. I stumbled upon
a pamphlet advertising a model search contest. It looked enticing
and something that I felt confident with, so I decided to give
it a try. From then on (2007) I became hooked on the fitness field.
What is the #1 thing you like best about being into fitness?
Answer:
All the knowledge I have accumulated over the years of dieting
and training. It's fascinating to me how the human body works
and how will, determination and discipline can change your entire
life towards the better.
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the fitness field?
Answer:
I have participated in many figure contests and have always placed
in the top 5.

- 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:
 You
can contact photographers first but I would suggest you start
locally so you can build a portfolio. Going through an agency
is advisable but can be costly.
Fitness Question #2 - Please describe
a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
Answer:
I do my cardio at 5am before work, then I work from 7:30am to
2:30pm then I do my weight lifting. When I am "on season"
I train 6 days a week and when I'm "off season" I reduce
it to 4 days per week.
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 suggest that you definitely try a 45 minute spin class
as this is a major cardio calorie blaster.
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:
It all depends on how much is the total amount you wish to lose.
If it is a considerable amount then you can lose about 2-3 pounds
per week but this rate will slow down. If you are looking to lose
between 10-20 pounds, I would say focus on losing about half a
pound to a pound per week.
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:
You should definitely eat about an hour prior to working out.
Here are some options: Cottage cheese and fruit, oatmeal, fruit
and yogurt, whole grain crackers with nut butter or cheese.
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 allow myself to "cheat" on my diet once a week so
this way I keep balanced and my insulin levels adjust as they
drop during dieting.
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:
Definitely lean protein which includes chicken, white fish, tuna.
You need to consume green veggies like broccoli, lettuce ,green
beans, asparagus. Nuts are also a good source of healthy fats
and so is salmon and peanut butter.
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:
Definitely check with a doctor to make sure he gives you the
"OK" to start a health program. Then it is wise to consult
a trainer. You are entitled to a free session when you join a
gm. If you cannot afford a gym then I suggest you start with an
emphasis on cardio and dieting before attempting weight lifting.
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:
You can have any type of meat grilled with a salad of your choice.
Stay away from dips and dressing other than oil and vinegar. You
can add a side of a medium potato or rice as each meal should
consist of protein, salad and carbs.
