In the Spotlight! Hercules 2011... | |

Dear GayleFORCE Readers,
Several of you have emailed to ask whether I will be competing this year? While, a few of my clients have asked whether I was prepping for a competition due to the physical change in my appearance, as my body quickly begins to reflect the change in my meals, and ramped-up workouts? So what better time to make it public, that I will be competing in September.
I know, I know, I said I was taking this year off to rest, recuperate, maintain relationships also known as "Me-time"; but, for various reasons, taking the year off is proving quite difficult to do.
- I like to challenge my body (within reason)
- As a new Pro, I aspire to establish myself, and to make my mark within the WNBF, and
- As a World Champion Pro., it is somewhat expected by the WNBF (World Natural Bodybuilding Federation) that I compete.
So, now that I have recovered from my January 2011 shoulder surgery; had physical therapy; deliberated and discussed it with my beloved, oh so wise Mother; I have decided to compete in two upcoming competitions ...the Champion Nutrition WNBF Pro Universe – September 17, 2011, and the WNBF World Championships – November 12, 2011.
I have already begun to ask myself "What on earth was I thinking?" however, it still seems like the right choice. And, as the saying goes… "You’ve got to be in it to Win It!" I look forward to seeing you at both events. Come over and say hello!

| Honored at the 2011 Hercules |

An unforgettable experience!
On Saturday 25th June, 2011, I had the great honor of being profiled at the 2011 INBF Hercules Championships held in New York City, and presenting trophies to the Top-5 and Overall Winners of each segment.

A title well deserved! |
It was an unforgettable experience! The Hercules was a Pro-Card Qualifier*; thus, some of the most seasoned amateur physique competitors came out to showcase their body’s, and their dedication to the sport. And, believe me, they came out in peak condition! The judges had their work cut out for them . . .the competition was stiff!!! And, with the WNBF Pro Universe just 3-weeks away, and the 2011 Pro World Championships in November; not to be taken lightly. Read more! |

Don't let their looks fool you...
What Prunes lack in looks they most definitely make-up for in nutritional benefits; so don’t let their wrinkled exterior deter you from adding them to your meals. If not daily; perhaps, every few weeks.
An acquired taste, but you'll be healthier for including them in your diet!
It’s quite amazing just how beneficial adding them to your daily diet would be and did you know that Prunes have more Potassium than one (1) Banana?
Starting it's life out as a plum, the prune is truly a majestic fruit. Weight for weight, they're by far on of the richest food source of protective antioxidants providing a massive boost to natural resistance and vitality! Read more... |

| FOREARMS |
|
Wrist Curl: Kneeling - Reverse Grip (Barbell)
Correct Form:
1. Using reverse grip, extend wrists back as far as possible.
2. Keep forearms in contact with bench.
3. keep your stomach tight to stabilize your lower back.
Perform: 3 sets. Complete: 8-12 repetitions. Weekly: 1x per wk.
Your ability to perform any and every upper body exercise, hinges on the strength of your arms and wrists. Generally, more attention is given to the Biceps and Triceps; however, forearms and wrists need to be given equal attention to perform your upper body exercise efficiently. To fully work and define your upper arms, forearms strength and wrist stability, is essential!
In a nutshell, don't ignore the small body-parts, as body-parts work in tandem with each other. ~SG. |
| Testimonials |
As a 48-year-old breast cancer survivor, surgery, chemo and depression took its toll on me. A friend of mine told me about Sharon. After only 2 months, I feel terrific, my body is bouncing back and so is my attitude. If I am down, I can count on Sharon’s kind words and friendship to lift me up!
Sharon has been a blessing in my life and I am so thankful. My 13-year-old daughter periodically joins me during my workouts ...she's so inspired by Sharon. Thanks Sharon! We love you! ~Cindy & (William) Stultz - Park Slope, Brooklyn.
