As a child, my sisters and I spent many hours daily in
fitness clubs experimenting with choices of activities. I was never
one for video games (boring). Equestrian riding, water and snow skiing,
paraplaning/sailing, hunting, skeet and target shooting, tennis, racquetball,
swimming, aerobics, running and weight training are just a few of the
sports I enjoy in life and love. I espicially enjoyed bodybuilding and
was influenced by the power and grace of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rachel
McLish and Cory Everson, bodybuilding superstars. I met Cory at the
Warner Center Fitness Club and was awestruck at her beauty, strength,
and graciousness. These bodybuilders became my role models.
