Why
did you become interested in fitness?
Growing up I was a competitive gymnast and cheerleader, so
my original intent was to become a fitness competitor. Having
seen a Fitness America Competition on television I became very
excited and convinced that I could do it. I turned to the internet
to find out everything I could about fitness. It was not until
I had my suits ordered and a routine started that I found out
about Figure competitions from a local supplement company,
Beverly International. Beverly International was hosting the
2003 NPC Northern Bodybuilding and Figure Competition later
that month. I meet with a trainer from Beverly International
about my supplement and workout program who convinced me that
I should give the upcoming Figure Competition a shot.
To get a feel for what figure is all about, I attended the
Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio this year to see my first
figure competition, can I just say WOW! I analyzed everything
about the pro's - from their incredible physiques, to their
beautiful suits, to most importantly, how they posed. I decided
that this WAS something I really wanted to do. At The Northern
I tried to emulate exactly what I had seen from the pros and
was ecstatic to not only win my height class, but the overall
title at my first competition in a field of almost 40 high
caliber athletes. Now I am hooked on Figure. I may switch to
Fitness at some point, but I am really enjoying the experience
of Figure competitions.
When
did you first start working out?
I have always been very athletic, but I didn't start serious
weight training until late 2002, two months after having our
son, Tre.
What
other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
One thing is for sure, chasing an eight month old will help
to keep you fit. I also love hiking, rock climbing and swimming
when my schedule allows.
What
are your goals within the fitness industry?
After becoming an IFBB Fitness Pro at the 2004 Nationals in
Dallas, TX, I am so excited to begin a pro career. I love fitness
and want to do everything I possibly can to promote the sport
and have a positive influence on the fans. I strive to be the
best I possibly can each time I compete and hope my ever-evolving
physique and the routines that I love to perform are received
positively. I still haven’t finalized my complete
competition plans but will be competing in 1-2 competitions
in 2005.
My new website www.julielohre.com is off to a fantastic start. I love the
site design and have been having a lot of fun corresponding with my members. I
have also started personal training and have very big plans for the future! I
was recently featured on my first magazine cover - Body Muscle Journal and have
a workout feature article in the latest issue. Look for me as a contributing
author in fitness publications soon.
