Gymnastics

"I've been active throughout my life and couldn't imagine it any other way! From the time I was a little kid I was always moving, from playing with other kids for hours on end to dance and competitive gymnastics. I loved PE classes, challenging my body, and trying new things. "I stopped gymnastics to focus on school but continued with tumbling and then joined a health club when I was 16," Vanessa told FitNish about how she found her way to bodybuilding.

Setting "Small Attainable Goals"

"I believe the key to staying positive and motivated is to set small attainable goals on a timeline so you don't get overwhelmed," Vanessa told FitNish about her best advice for getting started in fitness. "Even the smallest changes will show you just how much power you have to take charge of your own health, happiness, and life. Informative websites, social media, and progress pictures are great places to look when you need a boost of motivation. Having a supportive partner or friend can also make your fitness journey much smoother and more enjoyable."

A "Flexible" But "Consistent" Diet

"I have achieved fantastic results with a relatively flexible diet because I stay consistent and practice moderation. I do my best to fit my diet into my social and family life, after all, it has to become a manageable lifestyle if you want results and benefits for the long run," Vanessa says about her diet. She sticks to nutritious whole foods, protein shakes, "occasional treats to keep me sane, and I still enjoy fruit everyday," she says. "My diet is roughly 40% lean proteins, 40% vegetables, fruits, and complex carbs, and 20% fats. I haven't been competing for long but my off season is a bit more flexible, with treats and cheat meals a couple times a week."

Not Starving Herself

Vanessa doesn't allow herself to go hungry. "NEVER go to extremes and don't be afraid to eat, A LOT!" she said. "You certainly don't want to starve your body and deprive it of nutrients that keep it running smoothly but also be careful to avoid binging or becoming obsessive about eating healthy. Figure out a healthy macronutrient balance that works for you, fill up throughout the day, and don't be afraid to enjoy your favorite treats on occasion."
