Canadian cutie Justine Munro joins us in our continued series of Arnold Sports Festival Blogs. Justine made a name for herself right out of the gates when she placed second in her IFBB Bikini debut. You’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the magazines this year, mark my words. She shares a bit more about herself and what her goals are for the new year.
Hello! My name is Justine Munro and I am a Canadian IFBB Bikini Pro on my way for the first time to the Arnold Classic. I am so excited and can’t wait to experience such an event.
Over the holidays I enjoyed some down time with my family and good friends enjoying some great food and having some awesome moments. We welcomed the New Year quietly, but with enthusiasm. These special moments and spending it with the people you care most about make it all that much better. I wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year!
I started my fitness journey a couple of years ago and have met number of experienced and great people who have encouraged me to believe in myself and to keep focused on the next level of the fitness world.
In August 2010, I won the CBBF CANADIAN NATIONALS held in Toronto which was where I received my pro card. It was a dream come true and one that I will cherish for years to come.
The Arnold’s is right around the corner and I have a great deal of work to do to prepare and to be at my best. I am so excited that I will have the opportunity to participate in such an event. The best Christmas gift I received this year was seeing my name on the list amongst a number of other beautiful ladies. I feel honored that I am the only Canadian Model in my class. (Did I tell you that Canadian girls can kick butt too? )
2011 is going to be a year where I push myself harder in every way, I have a lot of goals in mind.
Saying that, these are my top goals for 2011
1. Train, Train and did I say, Train! (both in Weight lifting and Cardio)
2. Brand myself within the IFBB.
3. Network within the industry. (I really want to learn more.)
4. Maintain a healthy and active lifestyle (balancing my on & off season eating, etc)
5. Give back! Help as many people as I can along the way.
6. Complete my firefighting courses and becoming a firefighter.
7. Have fun!
