It’s the Saturday before Christmas and I am enjoying having my two daughters with my two grandchildren home for Christmas. My oldest grandchild, Gianna, is 10 months old and my grandson, Jayden, is three months old. It’s the Saturday before Christmas and I am enjoying having my two daughters with my two grandchildren home for Christmas. My oldest grandchild, Gianna, is 10 months old and my grandson, Jayden, is three months old.My Personal Training work at the Birmingham, Alabama YMCA is going great. I average 28 hours of training each week. My one female bodybuilder and three male bodybuilders are progressing nicely. They will compete in the 2009 NGA Natural Open Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness Model Championships on July 11 in Birmingham, the show I am promoting. We hope to have more than 60 competitors at the Pro Qualifier event.
My training is going well in spite of a little setback. I tore some muscle fibers in my right quad a few weeks ago and have to cut back on my leg work until it heals. I decided to take a full week off next week and resume training on December 29th. I have been going at it hot and heavy and I know the rest will do me a lot of good.
I received an email from a casting director in Los Angeles for a photo shoot for Paris Match, a very popular French magazine. They are doing a photo editorial on aging and were looking for an older bodybuilder. I got the job and will be flown to LA at the end of January for a one-day shoot. I am going to have to go on a light contest prep diet to drop a few off-season pounds. I don’t mind, because the photographer is well known and it will be a great experience being photographed by such a renown shooter.
I hope all of you have a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.
