I have always been involved in sports and it just seemed like a natural progression and I believe that as a personal trainer it is in my best interest to fully understand and live what I teach others to do. Where do you train?
I am fortunate enough to have a commercial studio at home Do you have a training partner?
No, it would be nice to have a training partner some times, but I really enjoy training by myself. Typical training week?
4-5 days Include ie My training depends on my competition schedule, I have no set routine as I find that most of the time I train instinctively and that also varies according to which body parts that I want to improve. Reps, exercises, I ask the opinions of people I respect in the sport and follow the good advice. Any techniques used.

Forgetting my costume at the 2004 QLD titles Competition diet.
I respond well to a very high protein, low carbs (this, I vary weekly according to how I look and what the callipers tell me) I include a good amount of fat and am continuously drinking water. What supplements do you use?
Glutamine, HMB and creatine, I find the GHC3 by body science works for me, I also take multivitamins, colloidal minerals and an antioxidants as well as HGH(powerzone nutrition) and Max’s HP+ and when my stomach is sensitive I use Nectar from Sentrax ie amino acids Mention any sponsors
I would like to thank my sponsors John, Fay and Daniel from ADA Street Discount Supplements, who without their continuous support and excellent advice on supplementation would not have achieved the winning results I have over the past 3 years Favourite diet food if you have one?
Avocado and coriander salsa with chicken When dieting is finished what is your all time favourite meal?
Pancakes with bacon, eggs, maple syrup, cream and caramelised banana (yummy) Favourite drink.
Protein, Banana and yoghurt smoothy, coffee with cream Who do you admire most in your sport?
Di Shipway, Glen Purtell, Andrea and Rod Sylvia and Michelle Austin Who do you admire most outside your sport?
My husband, children and my mum who has supported every thing I have chosen to do in life. Who has had the most impact on your life? How?
My husband Colin for always encouraging me to be the best I can (and for telling me when I’m not) How has weight training affected your life and sport?
When I was competing in equestrian, I was told that if I didn’t stop I would be in a wheel chair because of spinal problems. It was then I decided to do all I could to strengthen my lower back and it progressed into what I am doing now. Goals and aspirations for your future in your sport?
To compete as a professional at the figure Olympia and the Arnold classic. Hopes and ambitions for your personal life?
To continue with the excellent life that I already have and be able to have more time available to do the fun things! The best tip you could pass on to someone starting off in your sport?
Start immediately No exceptions No excuses Be the best that YOU can be And ALWAYS pack 2 costumes for every competition! If there was anything you could change or improve about your sport what is it?
It would be great to see more sponsorship and publicity for the figure division as this category opens up a sport for a lot of women to participate in. it would also be nice to read more articles on the accomplishments of women in this sport. Brief background on your life, sporting history, including other sports you have played etc.
Mostly gymnastics and track and field at school then on to international competitive equestrian Anyone you want to thank.
