A bit about me :
It all started
in college. I had been doing aerobics and cybex machines, but had never touched
a free weight. In fact, I only weighed 92 pounds and had grown tired of everyone
treating me like a helpless child. But with concentrating only on cardio and
machines, my body was not changing in the direction I wanted it to. I had always
admired physiques of Cory Everson, Rachel McLish, and Sharon Bruneau, not to mention the arms and legs of several guys on
campus, and I wanted my body to resemble theirs. So one day when I took a brief
look into the free weight room and saw only one girl amongst a multitude of sweating, grunting, hulking guys, I decided then
and there that I would be the other girl. The next day I marched right into that
room, found someone to help me out, and never looked back. With the advice and
direction of a national collegiate powerlifting champion, DJ Jenkins, I began training heavily, which has given me my muscular
foundation and allowed me to do well in both bodybuilding and figure competitions for the NPC.
In the years since then, I have pulled weight off the floor that is twice what I weigh; I have worked through
my fear of heights to scale 15-foot high cargo nets and 10-foot high rope walls; I have done more sprints and plyometrics
than the average high school football team; I have never cheated on a diet, and I have been the obedient guinea pig for more
than one trainer (mind you, I have never thrown up on leg day; I may have had the nausea, the black spots appearing in my
vision, the Casper-white skin, the dizziness, but never an actual barf session).
The best lesson Ive learned about myself since the day I walked into the free weight room 11 years
ago is that my will power, desire to succeed, and belief in my ability are enough to propel me towards any dream.
Workout
days/body parts:
Mondays-Chest
and Biceps
Tuesdays-Legs
Wednesdays-Rest
Thursdays-Shoulders,
Triceps
Fridays-Back
Saturdays-Sprints.
Cardio is done four to six times a week, and in the off season legs are done twice a week. Of course, my trainer, Jason English of MJFitness (mjfit@aol.com) will always change things up on me. He is my training bible
Past achievements:
Probably the best achievement of my life is remaining a high school English teacher for six years and living to tell
about it (lots of laughter in this statement). The most stressful and underpaid
occupation and yet the most rewarding and eventful, teaching has gone hand-in-hand with my competitions in shaping the Jodi
Miller of today.
