Ramona Valerie Alb

What sparked your interest in training….
when/how did you get started?

I have always been a sports freak, one day I watched a workout video by IFBB Fitness Pro, Regiane Da Silva Botthof and that’s what got me. I was so amazed by her. I started to work out in November 2009 to compete at the Fibo Power Beauty 2010 in April, I got 2nd place ;)

How do you stay motivated?

Well I know if I stop… The rebound effect will kick in and that’s a no go for me, plus with so many beautiful IFBB Ladies around, you just HAVE to be motivated! That’s the way I see it ;)

What does your diet consist of?

WOW my diet is a killer crazy, 709 calories.
84, Grams Protein
36, Grams Carbs
22, Grams Fat

How do you deal with cravings for junk foods,
sweets and salty food?

I just watch others haha, that really helps me alot! Because I know why I am dieting and the harder it gets the more focused I become!!

What are your top 3 favourite exercises?

Barbell Squats, Abs and all Gluteus exercises. Yupp I am all about the Bootay ;)

How much rest do you take between sets?

Right now I do alot up supersets and dropsets so I am always doing something. If I do rest between sets, then it’s never longer then 1 minute.

Do you listen to music whilst you train?

I NEED MUSIC to be alive haha and for training it’s a must have! Kid Ink, Tyga, Jay - Z, Kanye West, Rihanna, but when I go heavy on my legs and glutes then Slipknot and Metallica is a must!

What is your training routine like?

Hmm just 'Like' my Facebook page or subscribe to my main Facebook page because I always post my workout and cardio plans for the day ;) I always keep my people updated!!!
