As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Competition Inspires Me... Sunday, January 31

My "competition" sent me a friend request on Facebook today.

I had put as my Facebook status that I was at System, training because "my opponent can have the day off" and no sooner did I post that but then I got the friend request from "her".   

I call this one specific fierce female at System my competition because ever since Double J said she looks more jacked than me I've taken it upon myself to compete with her.  She of course doesn't know she's my competition.  I guess I wouldn't say she's competition though actually because she's jacked, she's ripped, and she sports my ideal body that you can't help but respect and crave for your own.

There are numerous females at System who I think have respectable, strong bodies but there are really only 2 whom I have labelled as my "goal body".  The one girl has a butt that I'm convinced you could set your coffee cup on, it's just that perky and it screams "I-kill-squats-like-it's-nobody's-business", and a super tiny waist.  But this one particular girl whom I have labelled my competition is my height and has the same body frame size as me.  I've never seen her do cardio, never seen either of these two gals do cardio actually, and only the other girl she always trains alone and goes so much harder on the weights.  It doesn't matter what time of the day or what day I go to System, she is always there when I am.  Girl is fierce from head to toe, woozers.  

Sundays are my one day off training but I headed into System today for a full workout on account of the fact that I had taken Friday off.  And low and behold, who was there... she was -- the First Lady.

TODAY'S TRAINING CONSISTED OF:
15mins Spinning warmup
15mins Speed skipping
6 rounds of Shadow Boxing
12 rounds of Heavy Bag work
45min Leg Workout with the weights/machines/body weight
