[rocky_road]

(1) What is your favorite body part to train and/or Favorite Lift?
Legs (any exercise) because I truly enjoy feeling them burn. Also some certain bicep and tricep exercises like skull crushers and curls, but not dips!

(2) Why do you make it a point to train? What’s in it for you!?
I want to be fit so I "fit in" with other fit people, 'cause they're hot
It's awesome---Exercise feels so good and most Americans eat like crap which is Just Not Right.

(3) Do you have a Favorite Meal? Lets hear it! Healthy AND the cheat preferences!
Hmm I have certain meals consistently like for breakfast: Kashi Go Lean Cereal with flax seed and one or two hardboiled egg whites; or Egg Beaters and Morningstart Farms Veggie Patties on a whole-wheat English Muffin (probobly not considered healthy by most of your standards considering its processed). Also a huge fan of ANPB and Smoked Salmon. Cheat preferences would be rocky road ice cream, candy, chocolate, basically sugar.

(4) Do you need to listen to music when you train? Why or why not?
Yes, especially during cardio because it makes it soo much better--changes it from a chore to a pleasure. Not really while lifting on my arms 'cause for one it gets in the way (I wear it on my arm) and secondly 'cause I want people are more likely to give me advice when i'm not wearing one (i'm yet to be given any...maybe i'm doing things right).

(5) What do you like to listen to while training?
modern country, a variety of music, alternative, ....the same things that I normally like, Dashboard Confessional, etc., love songs sometimes because they are so Positive/Happy

(6) Do you have an IPOD, walkman, MP3, etc?
yup an Ipod

(7) How many pills do you take a day?
just overall vitamin but soon adding an overall antioxidant

Chocolate Protein Powder--stir it into chocolate Jello, or pancakes
Chocolate Strawberry Powder-stir it into strawberry yogurt

6 days a week, an hour to one and a half; during the week either right after school, a little later, or at night, it all depends and during the weekends usually the morning

(11) How much cardio do you REALLY do?
About 3-4 days a week of SOMETHING if only 20 minutes of light cardio.

(12) Do you feel bad about treating yourself to good food for a reward/cheat? Why or why not?
If i have planned it then yes, and I enjoy it, and I changed some of the ingredients to be more healthy then no I don't feel bad. But usually I just end up binging on bad food or something so in that case yes i do!

(13) What fast food restaurant/food do you prefer?
Subway and Arbie's, or McDonald's salads; I luckily never really ate Fast Food--ever--or if I did, I don't remember it much, so It's easy to bypass.

(14) Beverage of choice? Regular and/or Alcohol.
Water and red white. I gave up pop a few years ago because it always bothered my stomach and I am not tempted by it in the least. I carry a liter bottle of water with me every day and drink throughout. These days I don't really care to put toxins (alcohol) in my body... Drunked calories are wasted calories to me, would much rather spend them eating.

(18) Meaning behind your tattoos, if any? What would you like to get? Why?
none

(19) What would you change most about your gym if you had the final say?
People must smile, larger freeweight section (squat racks) and cardio machines, more people (too much wasted space--no commradre), more help, the trainers actually do something, and the trainers definetely will show you how to use the equipment such as determing the right fit for you for each machine without you having to bug them about it!! Damnit.

(20) Have you ever stopped to help someone, offer advice or your opinion without being asked? (i.e. think ¼ rep squatter/leg presser)
Nope but i'm excited for that day to come!
