Story: I had been training about 30 years. I began because I saw some women Bodybuilding. In 1988 I saw Diana Dennis and Cory Everson and I looked at them and I liked a lot their muscles.

Training Routine: I train everyday until Sundays and between 2 and 3 hours per day. Depends of the days I do sometimes high weights, less repetitions and other days more repetitions, less weights and super sets. I divide all the different muscular groups 2 times per week. Each muscular group, except abs, I train them 4 to 5 weekly times and also I do aerobics.

A typical day in your life: A typical day of mine, I’ve got a lot of pupils in my gym, I´m a personal trainer, rather I’m a very home woman. I train and I teach classes. The rest of the day is to workout my body in three times per day, I train in gym and aerobic abs too.

What do you enjoy most about the bodybuilding/fitness lifestyle?
I enjoy of this sports, I enjoy of looking so fine physically everyday. I like to overcome myself everyday and going watching how can I improve some imperfection. I enjoy all in my training, but for me is a pleasure to feel my strenght, I like a lot to be very strong.
What do you enjoy about training for competition?
In a preparation for a competition I enjoy how much my body is ripping day after day with a strict diet and I enjoy the competition day about how I arrive in my best shape. Is a pleasure for me.
Curiosities about yourself: I like all sports, but especially individual sports like running, cycling, lifting weights, swimming, etc. I like to be in places with a lot of trees and grass like parks.
What has left in your life the practice of the sport?
This sports has made that I let a bit of side other sports which I also liked, I mean, instead of going in bike more of 2 hours, I’ve had to reduce to 1 hour, as in the long distances running to just doing short sections. My life is the gym, I love this sports. I didn’t leave nothing to do this, maybe only personal things.
Which are your most appraised values like athlete and person?
The people appreciate my full dedication to my body and behavior in doing the strict diet. The thing I appreciate in an athlete is the line of symmetry and definition of ratios, not so much the size.
Which is the difference between the Offseason and On Season in your own words?
The difference in Offseason and season is that during the time far away of competitions you can train with more weights to grow and a diet with more carbs (a free diet) than the period to be ripped. When I’m going to compete I do a strict diet with a lot of protein and less carbs. Although I think all depends of every athlete.
Which is the greater satisfaction in your sport career?
My best satisfaction was winning my first world championship in Brussels, Belgium 2015 for WPF and now I’m very glad I have an invitation to compete in Lithuania and two events that are World Championship WFF in october 15th and my first Olympia Pro (Professional Championship) in Kansas in october 16th. It was my great personal desire and I could achieve it.
The woman in the present world has shown their capacity for take challenges in all society fields and the sport is not the exception. What do you think about the female sport on the future?
I think the FBB are not the big Bodybuilding I like until Physique category. I like Denise Masino because she is very sexy, beautiful and feminine, and she is how I think a woman must arrive, not too much muscle. I think in this sports, the future trend is to Physique category, that it would be my class. Female Bodybuilding is trending to dissapear, it not exists at the Olympia anymore, therefore it watches a lighter tendency in female musculature. This is my appreciation.
