If we were giving a seminar to women wanting to be more fit, what area(s) would you feel comfortable discussing?
Changing behavior, mindset, and self body-image by educating them on “pumping” their emotional muscles which are the first step to committing to pumping their outward muscles in order to change their lives.

Do you have a story you want to share?
I am the 2007 ATA Florida State Champion and the 2007 Silver Medalist in the World for ATA, WTTF, and STF.  All which I achieved after blowing both of my ACL’s and having them reconstructed. It is my mission to inspire you to be the woman you were called to be. In today’s world, it’s so much easier to succumb to the element around us. I see women compromising themselves everyday, conforming to what the media and society says is an ideal woman. Unfortunately, it’s all based on trend and vanity. No one is immune to it, no one can be perfect. The reason I am so passionate about my mission is because I stumble just like everyone else. I lose balance in life, I can be weak and falter. I fail and try again. I reflect on Proverbs 31 to elevate myself to become stronger in my daily walk and the trials I face. It is my hope to inspire other women to do the same. My mission is to inspire women to combat society’s view of the “ideal” woman based on an image, and to embrace who they already are, i.e. strong, dignified, full of integrity, prowess, loyal, giving, disciplined, brave.  The list of intangibles is endless, we are all equipped with these “tools,” it’s just a matter of being self aware of them and keeping them sharp at all times and ready to roll in every aspect of our life.  I use clothing as its platform, somewhat of an “armour” and to clothe her (women) with “strength” and “dignity”

What is your favorite food?
Entree? Chilean Sea Bass (usually with some type of nut encrusting) Dessert? Crumble Topping hot apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream! Misc.? I love peanut butter!

What food do you absolutely hate?
Onions! Its not the flavor its the texture that racks my nerves when I bite into one!

What is your favorite body part?..yours..lol
My arms, its not an easy feat to develop a great upper body as a woman! I am proud of the hard work mine have benefited from!

Angelike is all smiles and rock’n the hardbody.

What makes you smile?
Giving. Children. Puppies. Inspiring others. Prayer. Hope. Good news. Friends. Family. Cheat meals! Victory.

If you found a million dollars, what would you do with it?
First I would report it to see if anyone would claim it. Then if I was so fortunate to be the beneficiary of it, I would take care of any debts both mine and family and close friends in need. Pay off my home or buy a new one on the water. Further, I would develop a charity to benefit children that are less fortunate and are not afforded the same opportunities to display their talents, skills, and academics as other more fortunate children.

What frustrates you more than anything?
Traffic. Moody people that victimize themselves. And rather than using the tenacity and energy it takes to be miserable they should elevate themselves to greater outcomes!

If you were a car, what would you be?
Lamborghini, sleek, tight, classy, with some muscle!

What is your favorite exercise?
The boot camp style training I religiously put my body through with master trainer Ty Pena at Club BodFit in Tampa, FL.    Or any session with my personal trainer Beau Tailifer of B2BFitness… These guys both have been the best coaches and my biggest fans!Least favorite?
Cardio when I forget my iPod, but cardio gets results!

How many times a day do you eat?
Six small meals a day

How many times a week do you train?
5-6 times

At the urging of a few readers, we’ll get away from some of the “lame mellow tunes” for a bit. Looking for some music to add to your workout play list? Today I added, “Indestructible” by Disturbed. I hadn’t heard it before but it proved to be a great tune during a brutal leg workout.

Whatcha got? Let’s hear some of your recommended listening for getting jacked in the gym.

Fans of the UFC may recognize this song from an entrance by one of their top fighters. Anyone know who? It’s also from the movie The Departed. Dropkick Murphys provides an interesting mix of “Hardcore Punk and Celtic Folk”. The provide today’s song of the day, “I’m Shipping Up to Boston“.

This song makes me want to rage and grab a green beer! RAAAAAHH!

The New Zealand Pro show was slated to have a figure competition this year however the show has been removed from the IFBB Pro League schedule. The site notes that the show may be rescheduled to a later date in 2009. We’ll keep you posted if the show is in fact rescheduled at a later date.

Mark your calendars for July 18, 2009 for The First Annual Jen Hendershott All Women’s Weekend. Jen has teamed up with promoter extraordinaire Tres Bennett to put on her first all women’s NPC show. Tres is the promoter of the NPC JR USA contest which will feature the first qualifying contest for the new bikini division. The show will be held in Charleston, South Carolina. If you are familiar with Jen and Tres, where have you been? All kidding aside this should be a great event as both of them go all out in everything they do and would expect nothing less for this show.

Stay tuned for more info on this show as well as a few other things Hendy has up her sleeve and will be announcing soon.

One of our loyal readers recommended “Right Now” by Korn. This should definitely get you pumped for a workout. Below is the radio version and for you hardcore peeps there is a version with more explicit lyrics available.

ROCK ON!

The two main social networking sites are myspace and facebook. Here’s how I see the two social networking sites. This is just my opinion but I’ve talked to many others to see if I am in my own little world or not. It turns out… I’m not the only one who thinks this way. If you’re not in the mood for a rant – stop reading now.

Myspace – I’m over it. It started out great and I’ve booked shoots from it but that is less than a handful in a couple years. So it isn’t all evil. It can be beneficial for networking but I’ve found that it (generally speaking) caters to a more juvenile and unsophisticated audience. It has it’s place for some people but for me, eh not so much any more. I get more porn spam than I can count.

The whole moving of top friends is annoying. “Why am I in the third row and not the first?” “Why did you drop me from your top friends list?” Please. Get out of the house if all you have to worry about is what position you are in my top friend’s list.

Facebook – This one took a little bit to get used to and I am still fumbling through it but it’s by far more sophisticated and beneficially for me. The coolest thing has been reconnecting with friends from my old jobs or high school. People I haven’t talked to in 10+ years have found me and it’s been great. It has some amazing features and if you’re not careful you could spend hours on the site.

I use Facebook for keeping in touch with people I actually know or have interacted with. If I don’t know you – I probably won’t add you as a “friend”.

A woman emailed me the other day saying, “How come I’m not on your friend’s list any more. I thought we were friends.” If you talked to me once or twice but haven’t since, you’re probably not my “friend”. If you request to add me as a “friend” and don’t include a message of who you are or why you want to be my “friend”… I probably won’t add you. Some people are a little too transparent with their motives as well. Too many times people have become my “friend” only to go through and contact industry people I know. LAME-O. If you’re adding me to use my contacts you need to step up your game. Just because you lift weights doesn’t mean I’m going to add you. At least take 30 seconds to say something when “friend requesting”.

I’m not sure why people keeping “poking” me on facebook but for some reason I feel the need to poke back.

There you have it. Social Networking is definitely beneficial but don’t take it personal or be offended when someone wants to use it in ways other than you. My use for the two… Myspace = most anyone is a friend. Facebook = People I know or have met. Don’t know ya won’t add ya. Don’t like it? Find me on myspace and we can be friends there.

A number of women ask how they can get booth work. I’ve talked with a few decision makers to get their take this topic. Over the coming weeks I will share a few tips on how to get booth work as well as things to remember after you’ve got the gig. Some things will be (or should be) obvious and others you may not have thought about. This is valuable advice for anyone not only looking to work a booth but also be asked back to work again.

DO:
• Be on Time. Make sure you show up on time for when you’re suppose to work. It’s your responsibility to coordinate with your contact on when to show up.
• Call if something comes up. Some times things happen and you may be a few minutes late. Make sure you communicate this with your contact at the company.
• Act professional. Just because some one smells funny doesn’t give you the green light to be rude.
• Be prepared. If you’re tasked with providing samples know the product. If you don’t know the product or have the answer, know who to ask or direct the question to.

DO NOT:
• Party like a rock star. You don’t want to miss the next day, show up late or show up hung over.
• Make excuses and blame someone else. If you messed up – own up.
• Have your boyfriend or husband lingering around the booth. You’re there to work and if the company sees you constantly talking to your man, it may be your last.
• Text others while working. Do it when you get a break but no one wants to approach a booth and see someone paying more attention to their phone than them.
• Act like a diva. No one wants to work with someone who thinks their poo doesn’t stink.

Check back later for more DO’s and DON’Ts on this topic.
