Anderson - 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,

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.

healthy shopping list to stick with. What are some of the main foods I should

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 to order from the menu. What
tips do you recommend for eating out at restaurants to make sure my diet will

on a special 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?

squats, butt blaster and leg lifts. Make sure you lift heavy with less repetitions.
These exercises are the most challenging for me and take the most energy because
it's a rather large muscle group.
