George Cook AAReports interview with IFBB pro Candice Carr Archer

George Cook- Please let us know a little about about yourself ?

Candice Carr-Archer- I am from the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean (It is actually Trinidad and Tobago with Trinidad being the larger of the two islands). I am the elder to two (2) sisters and my sister and I were both tom boys when growing up so we were always very active growing up.

George Cook - What got you involved with bodybuilding and training ?

Candice Carr-Archer- I did martial arts (Shotokan) for several years before bodybuilding. Actually I wanted to get stronger for martial arts so I started weight training and I eventually 'gave up' the Shotokan.

George Cook- What are you feelings on the sport and how long do you see yourself competing in it ?

Candice Carr-Archer- I love the sport of bodybuilding however, I am of the opinion that the sport is not given enough recognition as other sports. The sport and by extension its benefits need to be showcased.

George Cook- What is it like and how are you feeling just before a contest ?

Candice Carr-Archer- Before a contest I am so hyped sometimes its hard for me to sleep....lol. Its a good feeling to see the rewards of my hard work and I simply look forward to being on stage.

George Cook- What do you like to do when you are not training or in your down time?

Candice Carr-Archer- I enjoy going to the movies and the beach.

George Cook- Many women want to workout not necessarily to compete but just to be in better shape. What is your advice to those just starting out?

Candice Carr-Archer- Be patient as many women start to work out and get frustrated and quit when they don't see the results they desire. As the saying goes slow and steady wins the race......it takes time to get toned and lose body fat......just look at some of years many athletes have been training to attain their goals. Fad diets are a quick fix that don't yield long lasting results and can be detrimental to the body as these diets often lack the correct nutritional balance.

A combination of a balanced diet with at least five meals a day and a good exercise regime (weight training and cardio) will certainly give you the body you want once you go the distance.

George Cook- Please let us know about any website or Facebook page that you have where readers can learn more about you ?

Candice Carr-Archer- I have a facebook page its - www.facebook.com/MuscleCandi
