I'm going to start from the beginning back in 2008. I was currently training for my second figure competition, 12-15 weeks out, and was miserable. I was doing 5-7 hours of cardio a week and I was eating all my calories from protein and greens ... besides 40g of oats in the AM. There was a client of Erik's I would always watch train; she was also prepping and was about 8-10 weeks out from the North Americans. I would watch her workouts thinking she looks like she's having fun and she truly doesn't look miserable. I would watch her do her workout then ... read more 2 comments

Not everyone knows that the fitness industry is ripe for marketing, hucksters, scams and fad, after fad, after fad, which is exactly why it's so ripe for the sale of hope. And unfortunately, the blame for becoming consumers of these 'products' really can't be placed (too much anyway, since some things should just scream BS) on the consumer themselves.

I started working with Erik Ledin after my first local show in Florida. I stumbled across Erik through a good friend of mine, and fellow Lean Bodies Consulting client, IFBB Pro Sandi Stuart.

My first show I had no earthly idea what I was doing; I was just listening to some guru in the gym telling me what to do. I pretty much did the whole double cardio and no carbs nonsense. I would go without carbs for 6 days then carb up. My mother at this point insisted I come to Florida to have Sandi Stuart take a look at me and help me out. She saw me told me there... read more 0 comments
