This blog will cover all city and statewide bodybuilding competitions and the out-of-state guest posers. Weight-loss success stories from local people, features/bios on bodybuilding, fitness and figure competitors, coverage of fad diets. Nutritious recipes and reviews on local gyms and health food stores. I would also like to cover Adult/Childhood Obesity in America and specifically,Alaska. Weight-lifting techniques/safety as well as the benefits for women. This is just a general idea, as the blog will be constantly evolving.
I competed in my first bodybuilding competition as a senior at East High in 2000 and after winning the overall title, bodybuilding and fitness became my passion. I've been a NASM certified personal trainer since 2004 and I love helping people achieve their goals with fitness and proper nutrition. My overall bodybuilding titles include: Ms. Anchorage 2006 and The Anchorage Crystal Cup 2007. I have lived in Anchorage since 1988.

Fitness magazines can be a great way to stay "in the know" about eating healthy and working out. I have 3 subscriptions to different magazines that keep me in the loop about my favorite bodybuilders, what they are eating to stay in shape and what their workouts consist of.

Although I don't exclusively depend on these magazines to keep me informed about nutrition and training information, they are informative. For example, "Flex" magazine is arguably one of the most hardcore bodybuilding magazines out there and I appreciate it's worldy view on fitness and health. It's not a mainstream magazine, it's more of a raw, no BS perspective on how to get better results from your training. Flex and other magazines that cater to the bodybuilding counter culture are certainly not for everyone.
Women may feel more comfortable with magazines such as "Muscle & Fitness Hers" or "Oxygen." Check out several different publications and find one that you like, consider getting a subscription if you are impressed with a particular one- it will keep you motivated during those boring bouts of cardio.
If you are just starting to get back into a regular workout routine and are looking for some reasonable advice to help you get there, or are a veteran trainer and just needs some inspiring pictures and some motivating training and nutrition articles- check out the magazine rack the next time you hit up the grocery store.
