I was able to use my fitness expertise and skills during a rough patch in life and it basically kept me sane.
After 20 years of practicing a healthy and fit lifestyle, I decided to train on a more serious level for NPC Figure Competitions.
I spent about 3 years on the development process, and entered about 5 Figure Competitions. My last figure Competition was about 3 years ago from now and I basically took home the Trophies and won every division I entered. I was very content and happy with the outcome. I decided from there on to maintain an every day fit physique by doing my favorite workout 2x per week called Pilates with Kimberly Wexler / Body Symmetree. I incorporate Pilates into my Weight Lifting schedule weekly.
What is your typical workout routine?
My workout routine is not exactly the same everyday. I like to mix it up, and just remain active.
Sometimes I start with 30 minutes on my exercise bike at home depending on my weight training regime for that specific day. For example, on my Leg Workout day (Quads or Hamstrings/Glutes) and rest day I prefer to do cardio in the morning following a light breakfast of 1 pack oats and Vegan Protein shake.
