Why I Got Started
After a soccer accident last year I had to have emergency surgery on a ruptured disc in my back. I was worried that if I did not get in top shape that I would not be able to do all the things I love to do and stay active as I grow older. I cannot stand the thought of just sitting around and watching life pass me by. I have always been very active and wanted to keep it that way.
How I Did It
I started on Body For Life over 2 years ago which taught me the fundamentals of how to eat right. I had the exercise part down it was just the eating I needed a little help on.

Body For Life Taught Me The
Fundamentals Of How To Eat Right.
The more I did BFL the more I wanted more and more so I hired an online trainer who cleaned up my diet even more and helped me change up my workouts. I did that for about 6 months before hiring a local trainer to help me so I could compete in my first bodybuilding competition. She helped me more than anyone else with a weekly consultation and being able to still workout at home. I love being able to get up before work and get my workouts in. It gives me the energy to face my day as an Elementary Physical Education teacher.
I use a journal to log all my workouts in so I can manage the goals I set for myself.
By eating 5-6 small meals a day and incorporating my weightlifting and cardio I was able to change my body completely.
I am currently 2 weeks out from my first NPC show.

Training
My training consisted of 3 wt training days and 3 HIIT (high intensity interval training) cardio sessions.
*Each of these exercises where done immediately after the last set of the first exercise for each muscle group. I would hit muscle failure on my last rep. I would increase my weight with each set except for the last set of 12 for the first exercise.
Day 1: Upper Body Workout:
DAY 2: (HIIT CARDIO):
5 minute warm-up, 20 minutes of HIIT cardio (running on the treadmill) and a 5 minute cool down.
Each session consisted of 4 min interval training for a total of 5 sessions. Each minute, I would increase my speed.
Day 3: Lower Body:
Day 4: HIIT Cardio:
5 minute warm-up, 20 minutes of HIIT cardio (running on the treadmill) and a 5 minute cool down.
Each session consisted of 4 min interval training for a total of 5 sessions. Each minute, I would increase my speed.
Day 5: Upper Body Workout (same as Day 1)
Day 6: HIIT Cardio (same as day 2)
Day 7:
I would repeat this same workout the following week but would start with LBWO. I would change things up about every 4 weeks on my weight training. Cardio would remain the same every week.

Stick With It!
Buy a cooler and lots of plastic containers. Make your food ahead of time and keep your cooler packed. I never leave home without mine but that way I know that I am always prepared.
