Have you always lived a fit life? How did you start?
No, I started training at the age of 14. I was super thin, and that was the reason that led me to the gym and to change my lifestyle.
How do you keep yourself motivated and consistent throughout your training and eating?
Seeing the changes in my body has always been my biggest motivation, and seeing that several people who inspire me every day. I know that the change only depends on me, that’s why I do my best every day. Some days it can be hard and I have thought about quitting several times, but I see where I started and where I am now, and it motivates me a lot.
What are your future plans?
I intend to return to the stage this year, to compete in the Wellness category again. Professionally, I want to finish my second college degree and open my instructional office.
Take us through your normal day:
- I wake up every day at 5:15 am, drink my coffee and get ready to work.
- I teach from 6:00 am to 11:00 am.

It happens several times and I have a thought: It will pass.
What are your top nutrition tips for keeping lean?
Balance. Find something you can do for a long time as there is no point in adopting a very restricted diet that you will be frustrated with and give up.
Do you weigh all your foods and track the numbers when it comes to calories from everything you eat? Do you think this is necessary?
I weigh everything. It’s a cool way to see what we need for our consumption. Many people eat less than they need to and are unaware of it. People looking for a specific physique condition need to weigh their food in my opinion.
Which supplements do you most enjoy using? What can you recommend for beginners?
Whey, creatine, pre workout, omega3, glutamine, caffeine.
Without a doubt the best supplement is creatine, but whey brings a lot of practicality in the diet.

What do you love about strong thigh muscles and what are your favorite exercises and tips that develop your well-developed thigh muscles?
