- 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:
Send a press kit to every fitness magazine, supplement company,
and fitness apparel company. A press kit should consist of cover
letter - introducing yourself, photo's, resume and/or bio. Don't
forget to add in your contact information. If the companies like
your look, they will hire the photographer to contact you and
set up a shoot.
Fitness Question #2 - Please describe
a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
Answer:
8:00 Breakfast
9:00 Bible Studies/Meditation/Quiet Time
10:00 Check Emails, Website Orders, Casting Submissions
11:30 Workout
2:00 Auditions, photo shoots, managing website, meetings,

etc.

11:00 Go to Bed
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:
Circuit Training is the Best because you are getting cardio and
strength training at the same time. You will find your heart rate
stays in a fat burning zone. Example: 45 sec. Of squats, followed
by 60 sec. Of step ups
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 usually don't step on scales and focus on weight but if you
do a safe and healthy amount is 2-3 lbs a week. I go by how I
look in the mirror and how my clothes fit. Also, have found that
when you "let-go" of the pressure and stress of losing
weight, then you lose weight faster.
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 drink a protein drink in the morning and take a fat burner
called PhenterLean, a multivitamin called Total Body Defense,
and drink 3 oz of Mangosteen juice called Xango for energy, powerful
anti-oxidant properties and health benefits.
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:
The most important thing to implement into your good nutritional
eating plan is a "cheat" meal or "cheat" day!
On this day, you allow yourself to eat anything and everything
you want. This will help you to stay strict during the week. Also,
remember if you slip and eat something bad, DON'T beat yourself
up -- just move on and get back on your plan.

oil, flax seed oil, olive oil
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:
Get professional advise! Write down your goals, keep a journal,
take baby steps, visualize, and most of all, be committed and
patient. Whatever you believe about yourself and your circumstances
directly impacts the reality you create in your life. Start with
a plan and as they say, "just do it"!
Fitness Question #9 - I tend to eat
out most of the time and really don’t know what healthy foods

at restaurants to make sure my diet will not suffer?

eating plan and that you would like a lean piece of meat without
butter, extra oils, etc. Order steamed veggies or salad with all
sauces and dressings on the side.
Fitness Question #10 - What exercises
do you recommend for getting a bigger, rounder and fuller butt?

energy because it's a rather large muscle group.
