Getting Real with Fitness Model Amanda

Amanda Carrier has a confession to make. Actually two of them.
The Muscle & Fitness Hers cover girl, Maxim model, actress and amateur pugilist (yes, she likes to box) has a little secret to share. And it has to do with cheat meals.
“I cheat everyday!” she gushes. “Sometimes a couple of times a day!”
This was not what I was expecting to hear from a woman who has some of the flattest female abs around and makes a living posing in barely-there bikinis.
A cheat meal once a week, I expected. A cheat day, perhaps. But daily cheat meals? And more than one of them a day?
I was waiting for Amanda to say she had “fast-metabolism” that let her eat whatever she wanted and still keep that body beach-ready for the next photo shoot or acting role.
But she didn’t.
Enter Amanda’s second confession: Until she started hitting the weights and getting serious with her training, she admits that she was the quintessential “skinny fat girl” - her scale weight said she was lean, her body fat percentage and appearance said otherwise.
“I had been inactive all of my life. I didn’t really play sports. I was always told I had a pretty face, but I wanted to also be told I had a nice body.  I never really felt like I had a womanly, sexy body,” Amanda explains. “I was thin, but ‘mushy.’ I had stick legs, a flabby belly and a square waist. I had to work really hard to put on curves.”

Then came the contest and got that way, "she says, still looking a bit stunned by the sudden fame. "It's all very new to me."

When she learned she had a winner - Richel Murari, 29, was elected the man fitter - Larissa says he was "very happy" and "surprise." To please the judges, she increased the pace of training. "I only had two months to prepare."

Mindi Smith- beautiful fitness model

Fitness and Glamour model, Mindi Smith, has always been very active, first starting in ballet, jazz, tap, and gymnastic classes along with running cross country, track & field, basketball, and volleyball before getting a personal trainer and learning more about health and fitness.

Once turning 20, Mindi decided she needed a change and packed up her things and headed south to Fort Lauderdale, FL, where she applied for her real estate license and began a career working for developers in high-rise residential condominiums throughout the state of Florida. While selling real estate, she also modelled part time and continued building her career in the fitness world. In 2008, she decided to make another big move and packed up yet again and drove across country to Orange County, CA, where she soon became a certified personal trainer, taking part in all the big fitness expos throughout the country, and is now considering competing in the Pro Bikini division within the WBFF World Finals later this year in September.

Mindi's hard work has paid off, and she has landed some great opportunities with features and pictorials in numerous major fitness magazines and websites which have all helped towards establishing her as a premiere glamour and fitness model.

I was always athletic as a child - spent many years as a gymnast, took swimming and played every team sport. I wanted to be a competitive gymnast, but when I was 9 my parents divorced and there just wasn't enough money to support it. I remember as a child watching the Olympics wishing it were me. Now my drive to compete came alive again when I went to my first local fitness/bodybuilding show. I competed the next year in a local amateur bodybuilding show to get my feet wet. Since then I have done a couple of fitness model shows and plan on doing my first fitness routine in the near future. I have been training for 14 years since I worked at my first gym which introduced me to weight training. I have since worked as a Personal Trainer in fitness clubs and on my own. I currently work in car customizing with my husband's car sales and expor company. I have been getiing more into fitness modelling and have some shoots upcoming.

Personal Trainer Michelle Candelaria

About Michelle I was born in Germany, on a U. S. Army base. My father was an Army officer, so I was raised with discipline. From Germany, we moved to a few places in Alabama, then to lovely Texas, where I spent most of my childhood. I'm still a Texan at heart and who knows, maybe I'll live there again. After Texas, on to New Jersey we went for about 4 years. My father decided to retire where our extended family lives, which is Chicago, IL. I've been in the Chicago and suburbs since about 1992. I was an honor roll student in high school and graduated from college Magna cum Laude, also as a member of the National Honor Society and on the Dean's List. I attended Columbia College of Missouri (the IL campus) and majored in Computer Information Systems. I fell in-love with working out at the age of 16, when I joined my first gym. It made me feel so strong. While other teens were doing what they do, I would spend hours a day in the gym. It became a real passion. I picked up my first bodybuilding magazine in 2002 and I was hooked. A fit, muscular physique is perfection! It's because of those images (Monica Brant and Jenny Lynn have been particularly motivational for me) that I started taking my workouts to a new level and I really felt empowered. In 2004, I was blessed with twins. After carrying an extra 50 pregnancy pounds, being hospitalized for premature labor twice and being on bedrest for over a month, I ended up having an emergency c-section. The weight melted off within 2 months post-partum. I believe it's because of the years of my fit lifestyle, my strong "workout ethic" and self-discipline that I was able to return to my pre-pregnancy figure so quickly.   Stats Birthdate : September 11 Zodiac Sign : Virgo Height : 5' Weight : 105 lbs Stats : 34 B - 25 - 35 Hair : Light blonde Eye : Blue Skin Color : Tan Shoe Size : 7 My Body : Athletic Ethnicity : Polish Religion : Catholic Occupation : Fitness Model & Personal Trainer Marital Status : Divorced Children : 2 - twin toddlers Official Website: www.michellecandelaria.com Michelle Candelaria Pics

Elaine Seth's Closing Thought

"I truly believe that you must follow your dreams. Be true to yourself and those you love. Establish your foundation and never act in a manner which compromises your integrity. Know that obstacles exist only to make you stronger and prepare you for what lies ahead. Remember... even on your worst day, there is someone, somewhere in the world that thinks the world of you and wishes you the best."
