| I was born on 9th. December 1975 in Romania. I grew up in the city of Bucharest, where I finished my studies. As a child I was quite athletic, and was involved in many different sports, including: martial arts, skating, dancing and aerobics. I even had the opportunity to perform stunts in a few movie productions. In 1999 I finished the Sport Institute as a teacher and gymnastics trainer. I began heavy weight training in 1995 first, in order to become more powerful and to have good overall fitness and shape. The following is a list of some of the competitions in which I competed: 1995 5th place at the Juniors World Championship (IFBB), 57kg. category 1996 5th place at the Juniors World Championship (IFBB), 57kg. category 1998-2002 1th place at the Balchanik Championship (IFBB), Fitness over 167cm. 2002 4th place at the European Championship (IFBB), Fitness over 167cm. 2003 3th place at the European Championship (IFBB), Fitness over 167cm. 1998-2007 1th place at the National Championship, Fitness over 167cm. 2003 8th place at the World Championship (IFBB), Fitness over 167cm. 2007 2th place at the World Championship (NAC) Fitness open. 2007 6th place at the Miss Universe (NAC) Fitness open. My daily routine: I wake up every morning around of 7:30am and begin my new day with a short jogging session. This makes me feel fresh and energized; not for the loose bodyfat. My breakfast is usually the same everyday: oatmeal with skim yogurt, some fruits, and sometimes boiled eggwhites. After all running and eating, I go to my gym where I work. I teach three or four gymnastic aerobic classes per day. After, I feel like a squeezed lemon, but I need to have my own training, which lasts about one and a half hours (heavy-weights, flexibility, fitness elements, etc). My lunch is around a 2:00pm and is, in fact, the most important meal of the day for me. I eat a lot of beef and chicken meat; boiled or roasted, salads, bean, rice, soy, broccoli, vegetables, and even a glass of white wine to make it all the more tasty. In the afternoon, I have my other aerobics classes (Tae-Bo, step-aerobics, and more..). I finish my day with my own aerobics training (40minutes of high intensity running) Dinner always relaxes me because when Im finished, I have nothing to do. During dinner, I like to watch a nice movie (I even have a TV in the kichen). To end my day I try to recharge my batteries for the next day, with a good deep sleep.
