Photo shoot - Okinawa 2011

My last two shows: 2010 North American fitness, and 2011 USAs in Vegas, Physique

12 weeks out!

12 weeks out from the PACIFIC MUSCLE CLASSIC. there will be a fitness division this year, so I will be one of the wild ones up there, doing a fast paced, strength filled, FUN routine! I competed in fitness at the NOrth Americans 2 years ago, and just didn't feel like I fit. The girls at that level are TOUGH. They can split, flip and jump to places I'll only dream of. But here, I feel I fit. Plus, this is my last show on Okinawa. i want to be up there with my girls!

10 years ago when my husband and I were stationed here the first time, I did fitness at Fosters show. My friend Corry Matthews and I helped MCCS put a fitness division together, to go along with their bodybuilding show. There were only 5 of us, but we had a great time. I ended up taking the show, very exciting!

So 10 years later, I'm going to do it again. At the ripe old age of 42, I'll be back up there "trying" to split, flip and jump higher than ever. I'm ahead of my prep this time, only 7 lbs to go. Training for fitness takes about 3 hours a day: warm up, routine practice, cardio or weights, and stretching after. The shape it gives your body is like nothing else I've ever done. it's exhausting, but worth every drop of sweat.

If you are in Okinawa, mark your calendars for June 3rd!
