- Fitness Model Background
How did you get started in the fitness field?
Answer:
As soon as I turned 16 I walked into our local Gold's Gym here
in Texas and asked for a job. I was hired on the spot as the front
desk girl where I made protein shakes and took care of all front
desk duties. It all started from there, then I moved to teaching
aerobics and personal training and found my true passion in life.
What is the #1 thing you like best about being into fitness?
Answer:
I keep my body the healthiest it can be, it makes me feel good
about myself, and the feeling I get when I am helping others to
reach their fitness goals. I have gotten some of the most rewarding
compliments over the years from people who I have helped and that's
what keeps me going, knowing I can help change someone's life
for the better.
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the fitness field?
Answer:
With no doubt, helping someone change the way they look and feel.
Knowing that I was there to help and push them is a great indescribable
feeling. That big smile on their face of confidence once they
have reached their goal.

- 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:
First all I believe you need to have a true passion for fitness
and modeling. It isn't easy modeling for one and definitely not
all glitz and glamour like it is made out to be. Standing under
hot lights for 10 hours isn't all too fun. The modeling industry
is very challenging as well, you have to keep your head up high
and have a lot of confidence in yourself because you will not
always get picked for everything or accepted into every agency
you apply for. You can't let that stop you, some agencies just
look for certain looks at specific times. My advice for someone
would be to try to find some sort of representation to help you
get modeling jobs.
Fitness Question #2 - Please describe
a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
Answer:
 I
wake up, EAT BREAKFAST (which everyone should do), head off to
the gym at 8:30 to teach my 3 back to back classes which are spinning,
Piyo, then kids fit. After that is over with and I'm about to
fall over dead I drink a protein shake that does not consist of
a lot of sugar. I go home, take a shower and get ready for another
job, which is either some modeling event or personal training
clients. I eat some lunch before I head out, do my other job until
sometimes 9 at night, I TRY to squeeze my dinner in before then
but if I can't I will try and eat something lower in carbs that
night. Go to bed, wake up and do it all again.
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:
PLY METRICS would be the key to a quick fast fat burning, lean
muscle building workout. It gets your heart rate up super fast
and wears you out in seconds! I would also suggest a short run
with sprint intervals, set yourself a goal to sprint to this mail
box, or that house, it speeds up the heart rate faster. The key
here is INTERVAL training.
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:
1 to 2lbs a week is SAFE, anything over that really isn't good
for the body. You still need the right nutrition for your body.
If you starve yourself you will only put that weight back on and
maybe even more. Trust me, just be patient! Eating right ( 5 to
6 small meals a day), exercising, and drinking lots of water,
will do the trick. You did not gain weight in a day, you will
not be where you want to be in a day.. hang in there and you will
be where you want to be!
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:
Foods high in protein are good to feel you up longer such as,
grilled chicken, tuna, turkey, fish, any lean meat will do the
trick really. You may want to add some greens with this along
with some brown rice or sweet potato. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
is HORRIBLE tasting, but will help shed those pounds off in no
time. It is something I have all of my clients use and I personally
use when I am trying to cut a few pounds. It helps burn fat as
well as helps the digestive system. A good tip is to chase it
with something after taking a shot or two of it.
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 am the world's WORST for having a sweet tooth. I can totally
side with you there. What I suggest to clients is HAVE IT, pick
ONE day a week where you can have that one thing you crave the
most. If you deprive your self of that food for so long, it will
only lead to binge eating which is what you do not want. You have
to reward yourself every now and then, just not everyday. Monitor
your portions and how many times you have this junk food. Usually
a weekend day is the best!
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:
Lean meats, Greens, fruits, nuts, low-fat or fat-free dairy,
such as sting cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, whole grain breads
and cereals, sweet potatoes, and of course water. Stay away from
any cokes of diet drinks of any sort.
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:
Don't overdo it, start off slow and work your way up. Listen
to your body and don't try to push yourself over the limit. For
example, start off with fast walking mixed with jogging, other
than running mixed with sprinting.
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:
Grilled options are always better than fried. Salads are always
a good choice, just watch out for those sneaking fatty dressings
they put on them. Ask for low calorie or fat free options instead.
Fitness Question #10 - What exercises
do you recommend for getting a bigger, rounder and fuller butt?
Answer:
One word PIYO, it is a mixture of yoga and pilates and changed
my butt for the better. I literally had people asking if I had
gotten butt implants haha but at least people noticed right? If
you don't have time to take a class, glute lifts work very well
along with lunges, squats, ply metrics, and walking lunges. After
you get the hang of these exercises try adding weights with them.
Fitness Question #11 - What is the
most challenging thing you deal with about consistently staying
in top shape?
Answer:
Well staying in shape is something I will always do because of
the way I feel after a workout and the way I feel in my clothes.
A lot of people look at me as a role model and someone they would
like to be fit like, so it is another added pressure along with
modeling to keep me that way. I love pressure though.
Fitness Question #12 - Please describe
your normal diet. What do you eat in a typical day to stay in shape?
Answer:
 Breakfast:
3 egg whites, 1 yolk. 1 slice of whole wheat (not enriched) bread.
Small banana, non-fat yogurt, and glass of water.
Mid-Morning Snack: Protein shake mixed with water with
one scoop of all natural peanut butter added.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, apple, sting
cheese, and water.
Mid-Afternoon Snack: Either and Apple with peanut butter,
or handful of nuts and berries.
Dinner: Grilled chicken, sweet potato, brown rice, asparagus
or green beans, and glass of water.
Fitness Question #13 - What type of
exercises do you include in your routine to stay in shape?
Answer:
Strength Training Exercises: I do light weights with a
lot of repetition, I feel that free weights are better and more
challenging than the machines. Resistance training is also very
effective for toning, find a resistance band and feel the burn
fast!
Cardio Exercises: Spinning is a great way to burn loads
of calories. If I'm not teaching spin I will do on out cardio
deck and switch up my routines, I may run on the treadmill for
15 min, move to the stair stepper for 10, and then off to the
elliptical for 10 or so min. That way you don't get bored with
just being stuck on the treadmill for a long amount of time and
you are targeting different areas.
Additional Training: Pilates, yoga, piyo, abs , ply metrics,
sprints, and pushups /sit ups.
