Answer:
I started to compete as a teenager. My first contest was the
Jersey classic which I took first place! Mr. New Jersey, Garden
State New Jersey and East Coast bodybuilding contests followed

the most beneficial sport.

The results speak for themselves! Helping other people achieve
their dreams! Helping people making those dreams become reality
for them has to be the biggest accomplishment ever!

- 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:
The best way is to try anything and everything and usually things
will all fall into place. I am very optimistic on this subject.
I know that if one agent doesn't find interest, someone else will.
You have to keep going and try different avenues.
Fitness Question #2 - Please describe
a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
Answer:
After working with my clients at the gym, I come home and do
my own workout routine. I do my treadmill uphill then I hit the
weights and workout different muscle groups daily.
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:
Jump
roping, treadmill and running. Also try running up and down
stairs.
The more resistance you add to your cardio routine, the more calories
you will burn.
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:
1-2 pounds a week is good.
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:
High protein for recovery and complex carbs to help drive glycogen
to muscle cells. Depending on the individual, if they are healthy
and do not have any health risks they can also add a fat burner
to help raise their metabolism.
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:
There are healthy options out there. Protein bars such
as Atkins and Met-RX have some high protein, low sugar bars that
are great for cravings or in between meals. You can cheat one
day out of the week and eat a few things you crave if you really
find the need to. If you stick to a diet, the hardest part is
the beginning and after a while you will find you do not really
find yourself craving those sweets or salty food anymore. You
will start to crave healthier snacks and veggies. Also try eating
almonds or nuts without salt in between snacks.
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 chicken breast, lean meats, salmon, green veggies, grapefruits,
almonds, high fiber cereal and lots of green salads. Yams instead
of white potatoes and whole wheat grains.
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:
First, get medical clearance from your physician. Then you would
start out with a light to moderate cardio program and graduate
to a higher level. I can't really recommend specific exercise
because you have to know the individuals goal and specifications
before recommending an exercise program that meets that individuals
health needs.
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 eat a baked potato with lean chicken or steak. Include
steam veggies or a salad. You can eat a grilled chicken salad
and many restaurants carry a very large salad as the main meal.
Now there are restaurants that carry a healthy menu (grilled chicken,
etc.) and that is a good alternative as well. You have to look
on the menu for something that does not have a lot of saturated
fats and low in sugar but high in protein and healthy for your
body. I have also seen veggie platters for an appetizer so there
are quite a few options out there today! You can also carry protein
bars with you instead of filling up on bread and deserts!
Fitness Question #10 - What exercises
do you recommend for getting a bigger, rounder and fuller butt?
Answer:
Squats, running up and down stairs. Do exercise that concentrate
on the gluteus region such as an up and down range of motion.
Hyper extension machine hits where your bicep femurs ties into
your gluteus.
Fitness Question #11 - What is the
most challenging thing you deal with about consistently staying
in top shape?
Answer:
You have to be strongly dedicated and also strong willed or you
won't be able to do it! You have to want to do it, no one can
force you!
Fitness Question #12 - Please describe
your normal diet. What do you eat in a typical day to stay in shape?

broccoli etc. )
Mid-Afternoon Snack: Almonds and a high protein drink.

Fitness Question #13 - What type of

lot of different types of training.
