BIO

I was a competitive all-star cheerleader for over 10 years and also enjoyed sports like flag-football, wakeboarding, and track during my teenage years. I was always very active and enjoyed competing in any sport I participated in. When I was 14 years old, I competed in my first teenage figure and fitness competition. From the very moment I started lifting in order to train for the show, to the day I stepped on the stage, I was hooked to the sport. My parents had been travelling to the Olympia every year since I was born so I always had exposure to the sport. I began competing again when I turned 17 and eventually transitioned to bikini when I turned 18.

Thursday Back
Friday high intensity cardio
Saturday Cardio
Sunday Off

During the competition season, I generally keep my reps high and do a lot of circuit training. For each body part, I will pick four to six exercises and complete five to six rounds of each exercise.
For cardio, everything is very high intensity. I use a variety of different cardio machines including the elliptical, stationary bike, and the treadmill. I also like to change things up and run hills and bridges outside. I always do an hour of cardio a day, however when training for a show I will complete anywhere between an hour to two hours of cardio a day depending upon how far away the show is.

Meal plan

I eat 6 meals a day, spacing meals out anywhere from 2 to 3 hours.
Each meal I will incorporate a lean protein source, vegetables, and carbohydrates.
For protein, I use egg whites, salmon, tilapia, ground turkey, ground chicken, chicken breast, and MET-Rx’s 100% Natural Whey Protein. For carbohydrates, I use oatmeal, cream of wheat, rice cakes, sweet potatoes, and brown rice. The vegetables I use vary from spinach, asparagus, corn, carrots, mushrooms, green beans, and zucchini. With my spinach salads, for dressing I will use balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
