Future Goals:
To help educate others and to continue to be a role model for kids by
emphasizing the importance of exercise and eating right. Personally, I
will continue weight lifting and doing cardio because I truly enjoy it.
Mostly, I plan on getting more involved with the sports that my two
boys, Anthony and Garrett, are interested in but were put on hold due to
my training.
Doreen’s Tips:
If you are just thinking about bodybuilding, try it. “Nothing ventured,
nothing gained.” I started out saying I just want to do one show and
that’s it. One lead to another and now I have a National title. Dreams
can start small and grow as time passes. If I had not taken that first
step I would have missed out on one of the greatest experiences of my
life.
Once you decide to start training, find a trainer that is familiar with
women’s natural bodybuilding. I would say the biggest factor in my
success at the OCB Yorton Cup nationals was having a trainer I
respected, and who had extensive, personal knowledge about the sport. A
good trainer will not always tell you what you want to hear but he will
tell you what you need to hear, the truth. Never let the truth
discourage you; let it make you stronger and more determined to achieve
your goal. You have to listen to your trainer inside and outside the
gym. This is a 24-hour a day commitment and a good trainer will help you
through every step of the process.
Additional Comments:
Own my own I could not have had the success in bodybuilding that I did.
I share my title and accomplishment with my trainer and friend, Tony,
who put as much time and effort into my training as I did! I can’t thank
him enough for what he has done for me! Determination was all it took.
Thank you!
