"I'm a true believer in the right supplements!" Overview (A Little About Me) ******** My Training Program & Info has been UPDATED - 17th Nov 08 *********
Ive been with Australian Sports Nutrition for 4+ years now. I started by helping Simon open the Newcastle store.
Simon & I are now based on the Gold Coast but we still travel frequently between the stores.
My role at ASN is to ensure our amazing website 'stays' amazing with inspiring profiles, updated products, monthly newsletter etc etc... I handle the marketing side of things with Tif and I also handle the allocation of all the zillions of online web orders we get daily. Apart from Simon,I've been with ASN for the longest time...so its pretty fair to say I've worked in & on every aspect of our business and I'm the 'jack of all trades'.
Before being with ASN I was a Port Shopping Lecturer dealing with the luxury goods industry working on Cruise Ships sailing the Caribbean & Alaskan waters for 5 years.
Have I always been into Health & Fitness & Supplements?... No... That didn't happen until I met Simon 5+ years ago. I was always into healthy foods and a healthy lifestyle but I wasn't aware of the world of supplements... now I'm hooked!! And I don't know how I used to cope without using Supplements in my life! InterestsI absolutely adore this industry! Simon & I live, sleep & breathe ASN & everything it involves. If you would like to ask me ANY questions or seek ANY advice on tips, what supp's to take etc email me on: kerrie@asn.com.au Favourites (Food, Bodyparts, People)Mmm... Chocolates...
I'm not a saint! My willpower is terrible....I LOVE Cadbury's chocolate & I certainly give into temptation.. often.. harrharrr!! Life would be too dull if you couldn't enjoy sweets! Motivations (What Motivates Me)Looking at toned/tight physiques! Yes, I do read all the fitness magazines cover to cover and lust over ripped ab's and nice capped shoulders... ;-) Training History (Years, Location, Trainer)In 2007 I found out my bone thin body was not going to put on any muscle due to a very overactive Thyroid. One of the symptoms was my body's metabolism was on overdrive so I was burning up everything I ate & I was super-skinny. Skinny may be good for some, but for me I wasn't happy... I looked sick and people were thinking I had an eating disorder! My overactive Thyroid was making me feel incredibly 'racey' and I could eat & eat and wouldn't put on a single kilo. My goal was to pack on more muscle- which now I'm doing! I really admire the physiques such as USA Figure Competitor Monica Brant and Trish Stratus in her MuscleMag contracted days.
Training Schedule (Training Style and Tips)I find my 3x intense weight sessions a week and my cardio-walks are enough for me. Mind you, my husband (Simon/ASN Owner) IS a training freak! He trains 6-7 days a week and sometimes 2 or even 3 session in one day! Eeek! I applaud his commitment, but realistically, we cant or don't all want to make the time to do that... Lol..
When it comes to training, I think I can offer sound & realistic advice to you...as I speak from an 'every day person' point of view.
To get the best results I have a personal trainer. I'm very lucky to have Leah Ryan, owner of Industry Gym on the Gold Cost to be my personal trainer. (You can view Leah's profile on our website)...
I do 3x Weight Training sessions a week with Leah.
Each set I do 12-15reps and 3x sets of each exercise.
I train as hard as I can without adding too much extra strain on my existing shoulder/neck injury.
I throughly enjoy my weight training sessions!! When I'm at the gym I'm not there to muck around! My goal in there is to build muscle. There is nothing better for a women to have a tight, toned physique.
I also do a min of 3-4 cardio sessions a week for approx 45mins. If I'm busy I will do a 20-30min walk before breakfast and another 20-30min walk before dinner.
I'm not into cardio machines at the Gym... Nothing beats walking outside for me!

I actually love tinned tuna & salmon which I often have straight from the tin or on Bakers Delight �Cape Seed Loaf� or Corn Thin cakes for lunch.
I am a big eater... and if I don't eat every 2-3hrs, I get quite grumpy & I can't concentrate. Competition HistoryI have not competed in the Bodybuilding. You are more likely to find me watching a comp, working at a comp or helping to promote the bodybuilding competition industry. Goals (Future Plans and Career Expectations)Do you know what my motivation for training is? Do you want to know why I've been trying to smash out every ab exercise I can do... as I'm trying to get my body in prime condition to have a BABY! Yes, that's right! Simon & I have been trying for a baby for some time now.. and I want to be in the most healthy shape possible when I fall pregnant. It will help with a better pregnancy, my strong core will help push the little Rees out..and of course the healthier and better shape I'm in before I'm pregnant will aid in a better post baby body! Hooray!
I did a photo shoot in May 08 with Andrew K in Melbourne... check my profile for my updated pics and tell me what you think!!
AUG 15th - SEP 15th in Thailand training hard & loving the Thai lifestyle!
SEP 25th - 30th 08 - Went to the Mr Olympia in Las Vegas this year..it was awesome!!
Nov 26th 08 - I did a shoot with with www.aleeceyoung.com . Photo's will be for the March 2009 issue of DXL Magazine ( dxlmagazine.com ).. :-) Media Coverage (Calendars, Magazines and Newspapers)My first fitness modeling work was with Katy for the Ironman 2005/06 Wet & Wild Calendar. I applied to Blitz Publications with some "happy snaps" one which included a shot with Simon.
Blitz Publications liked the look of Simon & I together and we were offered to be shot for cover of Ironman during the Wet & Wild Calendar shoot.
We were successful in being on the August 2005 Ironman cover & Ironman did a full page story on Simon & me. What an achievement for mine and Simon�s first shoot!
Katy & I were also shot for the sexy �Pumped Up Down Under� Calendar 2005/06 which was done in Melbourne on a freezing day in an abandoned building. Tony Ryan was the photographer & he produced some beautiful shots of both Katy & I.
Australian company Body Science (BSc) saw our shots from Pumped Up Down Under and used images of both Katy & I in their National advertising campaign having us plastered over Health shop walls & in various magazines Australia wide! The ads from this campaign are in my ASN profile.
To date, my photos continue to be in many print/web advertisements for ASN and our sister company's.... my Mum is very proud....;-) Best Advice (Fitness, Health and Training)Women - don't be afraid of weight training!!! You wont bulk up and look like a guy! Get off the treadmill and wander over to the weights section of your gym... If you are scared get a personal trainer to help familiarize yourself with the different weight machines and free-weight exercises. Weight training will do you mind and your body wonders!!!!
Since I've been weight training I've never felt better... it's a total mood booster and I'm really enjoying watching my whole body change it's shape!! Supplements UsedSimon & I's cupboard is a mini version of our shops - we have all sorts of creatine's, vitamins protein powders, etc.
I love trying out and testing everything�!! I don�t know what I did before being introduced to supplements by Simon - I totally could not live with out supplements!!
See below for the supplements I am currently taking....I do actually use these supplements daily & its not like I'm recommending them because I have to or it makes money.. I'm too honest to bullsh*t about this kind of stuff!!
I've tried just about every fat burner out there.. so if you have a fat burning question... hit me up!
I know there are so many supplements out there - it can be confusing! So email me if you have any questions.....
And I know you may think I'm biased as I'm an owner of the company but I promise you I will give you my HONEST opinion.... kerrie@asn.com.au
