    QHow Did Your Fitness Journey Begin?

    I was born with a taped-up bar of an

    old Tuff Stuff Smith machine across

    my back. It was an odd twist of fate that I

    was in the basement gym, but there I was. I

    looked at myself in the mirror, completely

    unaware of what I was doing, un-racked the

    weight, and got ready for another set.

    I say that's when I was born because that

    day changed my life. My lifting partner said

    it was pure chance that my first day was leg

    day, but it was meant to be. It's fitting that my passion for bodybuilding was forged on the most

    grueling day. It set my attitude toward the gym.

    I never expected to be in a weight room at 33 years old, but for some reason, when the new guy

    at work invited me to work out with him one time, I said yes. He was a seasoned veteran with

    more than 25 years experience in the gym. I don't know what he saw in me that moved him to

    extend the invitation. All it took was one day; the initial feeling of weight across my back to

    unleash a new person within me.

    After my first leg day, I couldn't walk right for a week, but I never missed a day. We were

    warriors. Every day after work I drove more than a half hour to train for two hours. As my control

    improved and I lifted more weight, an amazing thing happened. My body responded and I noticed

    new changes weekly.

    It was never about trying to look a certain way. It was about understanding that I had control of

    my body and didn't have to settle for being a chubby size 16 who was never comfortable in a

    swimsuit. This has been an empowering experience that gave me life.

    What Fitness Regimen Delivered the Best Results?

    My results came from a traditional split that's the meat and potatoes for many bodybuilders. I stillfollow the same recipe and hit each body part once per week. Consistency is important, but the

    body needs to be constantly challenged, so I regularly incorporate drop sets, negatives,

    rest/pause, forced, and partial reps. I like to experiment with different grips, attachments, and

    angles to get the most out of every exercise.

    What Nutrition Plan Fueled Your Body?

    Preparing for the Ottawa show taught me how powerful food is. People get too caught up in

    supplements. Until you get your diet under control and make it a priority, you will never realize

    your potential.

    I handled my diet and made it about numbers instead of taste. My contest prep coach created an

    offseason diet for me that allowed for 2500 calories, half of which came from carbs, and the other

    half split three ways (two parts protein and one part fat). She limited my sodium intake to 1500

    milligrams per day and sugar to 100 grams per day. I cut out restaurant and packaged foods and

    ate whole foods. The resulting transformation was nothing short of amazing.

    How Did Your Passion forFitness Emerge?

    The appeal of fitness is the implied

    challenge that it's you against you. Wealth,

    social status, and popularity don't matter.

    You can't buy a winning physique. It's

    earned one drop of sweat at a time. When I

    walk into the weight room, it's there waitingfor me. The iron and mirrors aren't forgiving.

    When you make the mind-body connection,

    it's like being given a set of super powers.

    When you get a taste of that, there's no

    going back.

    What/Who Motivates You toLive a Healthy Lifestyle?

    I'm driven to live a healthy lifestyle because it's essential to improve my physique. I'm not a

    health nut at heart, but I'm so passionate about bodybuilding and being competitive on stage thatI'm willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. Fortunately, I'm not alone. My husband is also a

    bodybuilding enthusiast and shares the lifestyle with me. Every successful bodybuilder has a

    support group behind them, and my husband Frank is the most important person on my team.

    Where Did You Go for Inspiration?

    I make the choice every day to stay motivated and find inspiration in synchronicities around me.

    Right before NPC Mid-Illinois, on a day that I felt defeated by the intense diet and cardio program,

    I got home and sat in my car in the driveway. I thought about pulling out of the show, but fate

    wouldn't let me. On the way into the house, I checked the mail and there was a package from my

    brother with a note that said "Keep it up, Sis! You're almost to your competition."

    When I need a push from people who understand what I'm going through and what I'm trying to

    achieve, I turn to my circle of friends on Bodybuilding.com. I made a book filled with quotes,

    supportive emails, and text messages from friends and family. I even keep pictures that inspire

    me (like Tom Platz's quads). I keep it with me always and flip through it when I need a boost.

    What Are Your Future FitnessPlans?

    I remember a day long ago when I passed my

    lifting partner in the hallway at work and he said,

    "Gwen, you're only three shows from Olympia." I

    laughed at his funny joke, but that comment

    planted a seed in my head that refused to remain

    dormant. At this point, that idea is a flower and I'm

    dreaming big. But this dream can only be attained

    in small steps. For me, the next step is winning

    next year's Arnold Amateur.

    After that, my only plans are to help others get

    results in the weight room and do what I can to

    promote bodybuilding in the women's divisions. I

    try to be approachable in the gym and answer

    questions about diet and exercise. Giving back is

    essential to my mental and emotional health, and

    gives me a real sense of purpose.

    What Is the Most Important Fitness Tip?

    If you want to see results, educate yourself and never stop learning. Bodybuilding is a science.

    It's more cerebral than people think. You can't come at it without a game plan. The more aspects

    that you learn about, the more you'll be able to harness the information and put it to good use.

    No detail is too small to be ignored. Learn what you can and constantly be open and try new

    things.

    Who Is Your Favorite Fitness Competitor?

    I'm completely in love with the "Golden Age" of bodybuilding.Arnold Schwarzeneggerhas an

    almost deity-like appeal for me. As far as modern-day competitors, my favorite is Iris Kyle. She's

    a bad lady who brings the whole package and comes on stage dripping with confidence. If I

    pointed to one physique that I aspire to, it's hers.

    Educating yourself is the best gift you can give yourself, and Bodybuilding.com was one of the

    best sources of information for me when I started. The site was an invaluable resource for advice

    on nutrition and cardio and provided an arsenal of videos on proper exercise technique. I tracked

    workouts, updated my stats, and posted progress pictures. The BodySpace members are great

    sources of motivation and are always there with feedback. I can't imagine getting where I am now

    without Bodybuilding.com.

    This is one of the bes t Transformations of the Week I've ever

    read.

    "It was never about trying to look a certain way. It was about

    understanding that I had control o f my body": that's what it's

    all about, isn't it? Your attitude's fantastic, Gwen: totally

    respect what you've done and I'm really happy for you.

    Nothing tricky, just determination and consis tency. I'm going

    to steal your workouts!

    Hope you write more for BB.com.
