I
just released my motivational fitness CD ENERGY
HOUR and just finished shooting my abs work out DVD POWER ABS. The POWER ABS is a “No Excuse” program
designed to maximize your abs work out whether you’re on the road, at the
gym or in the privacy of your own home.
I’m also working on my upcoming fitness book GET THE BODY YOU WANT.
You
can check out my indie feature film CHINADOLLS which I starred in. I was
featured in the Hawaiian Style swimsuit calendar and recently modelled for
Dilliard’s and Ssuzi Swimwear. What I’m most proud of was spending last summer
on tour visiting the troops overseas sharing my thoughts about health,
fitness and motivation.
I’m
very passionate about being healthy, fit and committed to helping people reach
their personal fitness goals. SO WHEN DID YOU START WORKING OUT SERIOUSLY?
Fitness has always been a
way of life for me. When I first moved
to America, I didn’t speak the language and was the smallest kid in
school. I was always last picked for
everything. Even though I didn’t speak
the language, I knew it was a terrible feeling to be left out. I swore I would never be last picked in
anything again.
HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN A FITNESS FANATIC OR WAS THERE SOMETHING THAT MADE A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE?
As I
mentioned earlier, I was always the smallest of all my peers and it made me felt
like I had to work harder to become the best.
And that consists of being in the best shape that I can be. There are
many obstacles with my petite frame but I never let it stop me, which makes me
the overachiever that I am. If you’re
looking at your obstacles, you’re not looking at your goals.
WHO DO YOU TAKE INSPIRATION FROM? CAN YOU NAME 3 FEMALE CELEBRITIES WHOSE PHYSIQUES YOU RESPECT?
I get my
inspiration from many trainers and peers because I know what it takes to become
great and I’m inspired by their dedication and commitment. The female celebrities that I respect most
for their natural physique is Keira Knightley, Angelina Jolie and Jillian
Michaels.
DO YOU DO ANY SPORTS? COULD YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THAT?
I love and
play every sport but swimming and Wing Chun Kung Fu are my favorite physical
activities. I swim on a regular basis because it’s fun as well as it builds up
my muscle strength, endurance and cardio fitness. Swimming promotes proper breathing,
stimulates your circulation and is easy on the joints. Intrigued by the concept and fascinated with martial arts, I’m currently
attending Temple’s Wing Chun Kung Fu School in Las Vegas, Nevada. Wing Chun Kung Fu is best known as the
foundation of Bruce Lee’s martial art.
I’m in my second year of training and looking forward to master the art
someday.
SO AS A FITNESS MODEL DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A SEX SYMBOL?
I don’t
consider myself as a sex symbol. My main
focus is to promote health. I believe if
you’re not healthy, nothing else matters.
To me, healthy is sexy.
DO YOU FEEL THAT THERE IS A BEGINNING TO BE A CHANGE IN THE MEDIA'S IMAGE OF THE FEMALE BODY AND IS THAT CHANGE FOR THE BETTER?
The media
had always been a big influence on how women view their bodies or how they perceive
what perfection is. I’m turned off by
anything I consider unnatural such as plastic surgeries, breast implants or Botox
injections. I truly believe there’s
something special about every woman and their natural beauty. Our society needs to place more emphasis on the
importance of being physically fit and healthy.
Natural and fit is beautiful!
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR YOUR NEW FANS ON THE BLOG?
There are
far too many people that are overweight in this country, which leads to so many
health problems. It doesn’t matter how
much you do as long as you do something.
My
goal is to motivate people to take control of their health and fitness. You can check out
my Fitness Blog where I discuss both physical and mental health along,
nutrition and beauty tips. If you have a question, comment or topic that
you would like me to cover, please feel free to send me an email. Due to
the numerous of emails I get, I may not answer it personally but I’ll answer it
in an upcoming blog.
