Jenny Lynn, Miss Figure Olympia 2006, at 2006 Figure Olympia in Vegas. |
* What pre-contest diet and training program did you use to win the
recent Figure Olympia show?

* What motivates you?
Jenny Lynn: Myself mostly...I like the challenge of continuing to make improvements in my physique from show to show. You can never control what anyone else does but you can most certainly control what you look like on stage. I focus on that, visualize what I want to look like and bust my butt to make it happen! * In addition to being the world's best figure competitor, you are also a fitness model and a personal trainer. Fitness and Figure stars who have been training with you had a blast on stage, and were placed very high. What does it take to be a good trainer? Jenny Lynn: I love training other competitors to compete! I've learned a lot over these past 7 years, both good and bad, and share these tips with my clients which helps them present their best physiques on stage. I am passionate about my clients and what I do and that to me, is the most important quality in a trainer. | for beginners to advanced. Click for product details

* What do you think about the publics awareness of health and fitness? If you could change a few of the publics conceptions/customs, what would they be?
Jenny Lynn: In general I do think that health and fitness is certainly better than it was 20-30 years ago when seeing a woman in the gym training with weights was an oddity. Of course, there is room for improvement. Ideally, I'd like to see health and fitness presented to kids at an earlier age. I always encourage my clients to bring their children to watch them workout so they can see that exercise is a normal daily activity to leading a healthy and happy life. * I've read you're going to launch plenty of products soon. Please tell us about them. Jenny Lynn: Fortunately, at about 6 weeks out from the Figure Olympia I filmed a DVD chronicling everything I did in preparation for this show. The DVD, which is in production currently will be for sale through my website in December. The DVD includes weight training workouts, food preparation, daily activities, track workouts and even has footage from a photo shoot I did right before the Olympia. Also, I also do a lot of work with online clients via my website: www.jennylynnfitness.com. I work with competitors all over the world in preparation for various contests in addition to men and women just hoping to get in their best shape possible for everyday life. And, I created a Posing Manual that helps women fine tune their posing techniques for the stage. Also, I most recently created a new line of Jenny Lynn Fitness apparel with fun, figure-oriented sayings that are really cute. And finally, I'm in the process to organizing a Figure Camp that I'll be holding in Spring of 2007 to teach fellow aspiring figure competitors how to present their best physique on stage! So, no question....I'll be very busy during my "time off"! * Jenny, what do you do for fun? Jenny Lynn: Fun?! Hmmmm... truly with contest prep consuming most of my time in addition to tons of traveling I don't get too much free time for fun. But on the rare occasion that I do; I like to read, go wine tasting (I live in California, very close to the Napa Valley), go shopping, cook, watch movies. spend time with my boyfriend, Blair and our families and friends. * Will Miss Figure Olympia 2007 be Jenny Lynn? Jenny Lynn: I certainly cannot make any predictions but I will spend the next 11 months training to give it my very best shot! Jennylynnfitness.com | |
