Only 13 Years Old, Madison Carter Named Teen Bodybuilder of the Week
Meridian, ID – October 10, 2009 - Bodybuilding.com, the Internet’s most-visited bodybuilding and fitness site and largest online retailer of nutritional supplements, has named thirteen year old Madison Carter as Teen Bodybuilder of the Week. Since 2002, Bodybuilding.com has recognized the remarkable dedication it takes to achieve such an accomplishment, and has made a point to reward those who inspire others.
“To highlight amazing teen bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts, we wanted to take the time to feature those who inspire others. By sharing their successful diet and training secrets, these motivational stories show teens everything they need to know about creating the body of their dreams for themselves,” says Bodybuilding.com CEO Ryan DeLuca.
Madison Carter began her love for fitness when she attended a bodybuilding and fitness competition with her mother. “Everyone was so into health and fitness and looked so fantastic,” shared Madison. Although many people told her she was too young to compete, she refused to listen and began to safely train with the help of her mom. She had no idea how far it would take her.
Madison’s typical workout program consists of 12+ hours of gymnastics a week and power yoga to increase her strength. As far as dieting and supplementation is concerned, she does not follow a strict meal plan because she is still growing and needs all the healthy food she desires. Her mother has taught her the proper food to eat before and after she trains for optimal energy and recovery. “I eat lots of small meals every day and try not to have too much sugar because we have a lot of diabetes in our family. I have a weakness for pumpkin pie,” explains Madison, “My favorite supplements are my Mom’s cooking.”
Madison’s mom motivates her to lead a healthy lifestyle and to take good care of herself. Madison admits that her body is the most important thing she owns and loves how bodybuilding helps her take care of it. “I love it because I feel so strong, I feel full of energy. I love the way my body looks. I love feeling the muscles in my body working…,” says Madison.
All of her hard work has paid off! Placing higher than women three times her age, the recent 2009 UFE (Ultimate Fitness Event) Fitness Junior and Bodybuilding Lightweight title went to Madison Carter. Because of her efforts in becoming a spokesperson for youth fitness, and encouraging others to participate in a healthy lifestyle, UFE is now proudly sponsoring her to compete in all of their shows. On top of that, Madison has been featured on television, and is the first child to appear in Fitness, Oxygen and Snap Magazine.
For her inspirational story of success, Madison Carter has earned the title of Bodybuilding.com Teen Bodybuilder of the Week.
