    Thank you KBGirl!

    I guess I should do the proper introduction thing...

    I'm 32 years old and I trained for 3 years to enter my first bodybuilding competition, which I won 2nd place in. I decided that bodybuilding wasn't what I wanted to do because I wasn't comfortable with the poses. I felt it would be more natural for me to cross over to Fitness. However, I didn't have a gymnastic background so I now work with a gymnastic coach about once a week and I'm preparing for my first Fitness competition which will be in June. In the mean time I have been working on my stage presence by doing Figure competitions.

    For the next few months I'm going to be trying to round out my delts and put on a little more size. However, I have a shoulder injury that's kind of causing me some trouble lately. I'm mainly working on increasing my strength and flexibility for the Fitness specific elements.

    Currently, I am training under the supervision of a trainer using Mike Mentzer High Intensity Training techniques and Ken Hutchins Super Slow training techniques.

    On the days I do not lift, I practice gymnastics and I also take a dance class once a week to help me with my choreography.

    Oh yeah...btw...I also work full time as a software developer and I model part-time.

    I was featured in the "Future of Fitness" Section of October 2001 issue of Oxygen magazine. I recently found out I'm going to be featured in a magazine called Divas which is distributed in 20 countries throughout the Latino Communities of America, Central America, South America, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Holland. However, I am not latin...I'm asian.

    Anyway...that's all for now...thank you for the warm welcome.

    Again, thank you for the warm welcome everyone. I hope I didn't offend anyone by saying I wasn't from Canada. I remembered reading an earlier post jokingly complaining about "another Canadian".

    Anyway...looking forward to interacting with everyone.

    BTW, Dino...when I was in California a few weeks ago, I was on the treadmill next to Gabbie. Girlfriend, you are way better looking than her and you could probably kick her butt at volleyball.

    Hey! I'm assuming when you said Gabby you were refering to Gabriella Reece, the volleyball player and my ex girlfriend and still good friend. Ya right, just kidding. I did meet her once while in L.A. though. Welcome to the board. I respect what you have done very much. Best of luck with your training.

    DAMN!!! You're 32 ?!?! I keep telling everyone that I have started this body building/ fitness thing too old ( I was 23 ) and I just turned 26.

    It is VERY motivating to see women in their 30's looking so awesome !!! Gives me lots of motivation and NO room for excuses.

    Welcome to the board!

    So true Dino! I knew that wasn't you in avatar, but I've seen your picture in other posts.

    Yep Jenna...I'm can't believe I'm as old as I am, myself. I don't feel it. Age is just a number any way.

    LOL! You had me going there for a moment Kaiser. Yes, I was referring to Gabriella Reece.

    Thank you and it's good to be here. I've learned a lot from reading so far. Let's just call it information overload at the moment...heehee.
