How did you get started in the fitness field?
Answer:
I cheered for several competitive groups along with my middle
school, junior high and high school teams. I also ran track in

got in the way! Being fit is very important to me, so I maintain
a healthy diet and regular workout routine.
What is the #1 thing you like best about being into fitness?
Answer:
I love how many people ask me what I do to look so good. It is
a real self esteem boost! I have recently started personal training
and that is so rewarding! To help someone else feel good about
them is such an honor. I hope that I can continue to help others
gain confidence.
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the fitness field?
Answer:
My biggest accomplishment right now is that I am being featured
in 2 fitness magazines right now; Planet Muscle and Health &
Fitness Sports Magazine. I have worked really hard on my figure
and I have been blessed by succeeding in the fitness modeling
industry!

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:
Definitely do both! It doesn't hurt to contact photographers
so you can build your portfolio. Modeling agencies definitely
help you get started. I recently signed with an agency and I have
already done so much more because of them!
Fitness Question #2 - Please describe
a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
Answer:
 After
I wake up and get ready for work I eat breakfast, which consists
of 1-2 egg whites, and lately I have been grabbing a smoothie
from a local smoothie shop. My smoothie consists of Lean Body
protein (30 grams of protein), double bananas, and a multi vitamin
shot. As a snack I usually eat a protein bar or half of one depending
on my hunger around 10:30am. Around 12:30-1:00pm I will eat yogurt
with granola, one slice banana bread (from a supplement shop),
apples, water, and half of a protein bar. After work I will always
eat one scoop of peanut butter before I head to the gym, some
people don't like peanut butter, so drink a small protein shake.
Do that 30 minutes before you head to the gym for a small energy
boost! Then I head to the gym, depending on what day it is my
workouts vary. After showering and getting ready for dinner I
cook 1-2 grilled chicken breast, veggies (broccoli, carrots, potatoes,
green beans); sometimes I put a little cheese on my veggies to
give it some flavor, always non fat or low fat cheese is best,
and lastly I cook the 90 sec whole grain brown rice. After a long
day of working and working out, your body will keep burning these
calories you take in for dinner. That doesn't mean to pig out,
eat until you feel satisfied, don't ever over eat.
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:
Walk on an incline, or run around your block. If you have trouble
running then just fine the nearest steep hill and power walk up
and down for 30-40 minutes. This will help your overall core,
and not to mention, your butt!
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:
Try to lose about 1-2 lbs a week. That is healthy, depending
on what your weight is. If you aren't overweight then you shouldn't
be focusing on losing weight, you should focus on turning your
flab/fat into muscle and toning up. Muscle weighs more than fat,
so get your body fat tested. To keep your weight off or maintain
a tight body, you just need to find a workout regime that works
best for you and stick to it!
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:
Drinking lean protein shakes (female safe) is good for you, but
if you don't workout you won't see results. Drink one of these
30 minutes before or after your workout. For women you should
only drink about one a day, and be sure you are or have worked
out that day. You can also eat protein bars; there are some really
good protein bars out there that are meal replacements. Check
out your nearest supplement shop and ask the rep for the top seller.
Usually the top seller has a great taste and great stats as far
as protein intake, vitamins, low sodium and low sugar. Also, stay
away from fried food, fatty foods, and be sure you aren't taking
in too many carbs!
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 don't crave fast food because I know how bad it is for you!
Just say NO! If I do get a craving for something high in sugar
or carbs, eat a protein bar! There are protein bars that taste
like candy bars, trust me! You can also satisfy a craving by eating
some fruit. Fruit is sweet and filling. Just make sure you don't
eat too much of the sugary fruits!
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:
Here is an idea of what I buy or eat on a regular basis: starches-
Whole wheat pastas and bread, veggies- corn, green beans, potatoes,
broccoli, spinach, carrots, cabbage, celery, salad mix, tomatoes;
starches- pretzels, whole grain brown rice, beans, tortillas (corn),
veggie juice, fruits- apples, fruit juice, bananas, dried fruit,
peaches, watermelon, etc.; Meats: chicken, beef, fish, tuna, eggs
(boil them and eat the white part only), peanut butter, cottage
cheese, pork, lamb, turkey, and ham. All of these foods are safe
in proportion.
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:
Your first step would be to stop eating fatty foods, high carb.
Foods, high sodium foods, fried foods, and pretty much anything
that you know is bad for you. Also, if you are a heavy drinker,
cut that out too. Alcohol has a lot of sugar in it and that could
also be a factor. You need to look up how much your daily intake
of each food group should be compared to your body weight. Once
your food is in order, which should take one day of you trashing
out all the bad and replacing your refrigerator and pantry with
healthy foods your next step would be to head to the gym. If you
are unable to workout at the gym, there are several at home workouts you could do as well. Start with cardio everyday or at least
5 days a week for 30-45 minutes. Whether you're walking on an
incline, power walking, running, cycling, or doing the elliptical
you will see results.
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:
Recently I have noticed that when I go out to eat they have a
healthy or "light eating" section on the menu. If the
restaurant has this option, stick to that portion of the menu.
Otherwise, read my grocery shopping list above and pick out a
meat, 1-2 veggies and some fruit as desert! I always order grilled
chicken, veggies (2 sides) and a plain baked potato or brown rice
if they have it; one cup of strawberries for desert.
Fitness Question #10 - What exercises
do you recommend for getting a bigger, rounder and fuller butt?
Answer:
Weighted squats and lunges are always great for your rear! Also,
leg press, leg extensions, and hamstring curls are wonderful for
your butt and upper thighs! I am queen of butt exercises!
Fitness Question #11 - What is the most
challenging thing you deal with about consistently staying in top
shape?
Answer:
I would say my eating, since I eat the same things a lot I struggle
with not eating the bad stuff. To stay in shape I have to eat
right, so I just think about what I would look like if I ate all
that bad food! Looking at an old picture of what you used to look
like or looking at a picture of what you are striving to look
like can help you calm cravings for bad foods or give you that
extra boost of energy to head to the gym that day.
Fitness Question #12 - Please describe
your normal diet. What do you eat in a typical day to stay in shape?
Answer:
Breakfast: 1-2 egg whites, protein/vitamin/fruit smoothie.
Mid-Morning Snack: Yogurt with granola, protein bar.
Lunch: Grilled chicken and veggies, maybe a salad, sometimes
a sandwich on wheat bread with turkey, fruit, and whole grain
crackers. Or a meal replacement protein bar, and slice of banana
bread from supplement shop.
Mid-Afternoon Snack: Unsalted peanuts, raisins, scoop
peanut butter, small protein shake, or half protein bar.
Dinner: Grilled chicken, veggies, fruit, whole grain rice,
plain baked potato.
Fitness Question #13 - What type of
exercises do you include in your routine to stay in shape?
Answer:
Strength Training Exercises: Weighted squats, weighted
lunges, amp'd abs with weights, free standing weighted arm workouts and a lot of free weight lifting period.
Cardio Exercises: Run 1-3 miles everyday or every other
day, cycle, walk on an incline, or power walk. Cardio is a must
at least 4-5 times a week.
Additional Training: Weight training is the best way to
go, builds muscle and leans you out!
Fitness Question #14 - What are the
top 5 tips (specific exercises, diet advice, etc) you recommend
for developing toned and defined arms?
Answer:
1. At first I would use light weights if you are just starting
out, but high intensity, so do more sets with lighter weights.
Let your muscles get used to working themselves out!
2. Try doing 3 sets of 10 when doing reps with your arms for
your biceps and triceps like; standing barbell curls, and dumbbell
curls, standing dumbbell hammer curls, preacher curls, tricep
pull downs, and seated dumbbell extensions.
3. Cardio is also a good way to maintain definition all over
your body, be sure your getting in your weekly cardio in!
4. Also, when lifting weights, if you don't feel a burn after
the 6th or 7th rep that means you need to increase your weight
a little. You aren't supposed to strain your muscles, but you
should definitely be feeling the burn!
5. Lastly, take a diuretic 3-5 days before any upcoming competition,
photo shoot, beach party, wedding, ETC. This will help you lose
any excess water weight and show definition all over your body.
Just make sure and watch your sodium intake!
Fitness Question #15 - What are your
top 5 tips for losing unwanted body fat?
Answer:
 1.
Interval running is great. Walk for 2 minutes, jog for 2 minutes,
walk for 2 minutes, sprint for 2 minutes, walk for 2 minutes,
jog for two minutes, and so on.
2. Most importantly watch what you are eating! This is very important,
people don't understand that you can't eat fried food and donuts
and lose that extra fat! Look for foods that are labeled low fat
or fat free. This will help some (use that for cheeses and milk
products)
3. Lift weights, I do weight training with free weights and that
burns a ton of calories even after you have finished your workout!
4. Keeping your protein intake high is also a must, but you need
to maintain a regular workout routine.
5. Lastly, CARDIO! Run; walk on an incline, jog, cycle, stair
climb, elliptical. I can't stress it enough that cardio is key
in losing weight, toning up and being fit. 30-45 minutes 4-5 days
a week of cardio is perfect for someone who is trying to lose
weight.
Fitness Question #16 - What are your
top 5 tips for gaining lean muscle mass?
Answer:
1. Keep your calorie intake up, but good calorie intake. No fatty
foods!
2. be sure to eat 3 full healthy meals a day consisting of protein
and nutrients. Don't forget to have a couple of healthy snacks
in between meals.
3. Sleep is very important as well. I know it's hard to get 6-8
hours for most of us but try to get at least 6 hours of sleep
every night.
4. If you're not eating enough, it is almost impossible to gain
lean muscle, get a nutrition counselor if you aren't sure how
much you should be eating. Or go online and look up a food chart
and servings amount for your body weight.
5. Lastly, go to a supplement store and talk to a rep. Ask them
for their top seller items for gaining lean muscle mass, most
of the time you will enjoy what they have to offer and see results!
Fitness Question #17 - What are the
top 5 tips you recommend for staying motivated on a fitness plan
and truly making a healthy lifestyle change:
Answer:
1. Set goals for yourself. What you want to look like in a month,
2 months, 6 months, and year!
2. Eat right, watch what you eat, remember how hard you have
worked for your results and what can happen when you back track.
If you are just starting your healthy lifestyle, find a picture
of someone that you want to strive to look like, have that as
your goal. You will achieve it if you try your best.
3. Get 6-8 hours of sleep every night.
4. Maintain a regular workout schedule. Even if it's been a
long day, be sure to make it to the gym even if you do a small
power workout. If you can't make it to the gym that day, simply
walk, jog, or run around your block. Getting any kind of cardio
in is important no matter what.
5. Lastly, think about why you started this healthy lifestyle,
whatever the reason, you know that it's better for your health
to stay this way. Stay positive and motivated by thinking about
what you can look like in a bikini!

Amp'd Abs Workout: my amp'd abs workout is an intense

to center elbows right back to center then down ( continue this
for 8 on each side), legs bent half way up in air knees to elbow
crunch (15), legs straight up in air- finger tips to toes (20),

right elbow to left knee, left elbow to right knee (cycle) (50).
Finish with a table top- lye on stomach whole body straight, elbows
in; lift your body off the ground using only your toes and forearms
to hold your body and squeeze your belly button in (flex abs)
hold for 45-60 seconds ( you can lift one leg up at a time to
increase intensity on abs)(Also lift butt a bit higher if this
hurts your lower back). Re-stretch out your stomach and then you're
finished! (this is a fast pace abs workout, there is no stopping
and you can repeat this 3 times if you feel capable)
