LINDA - NEW YORK |

LINDA - THE WOMEN WHO MADE TIME STOP! I am dedicated to the sport of Body Building and health and fitness. On January 5, 2009 I celebrated my 66th birthday and my 27th year of participating in bodybuilding. Coming from a track and field and dance background of my youth, I discovered bodybuilding at age 39 and it changed my life. To me it is the most exacting, fascinating, demanding, selfish, disciplined sport I know of and I love it!! In some ways it helped me balance the demands of my professional career plus it gave me the opportunity to meet so many new and interesting people.
I am a National and International Bodybuilding champion with 27 years of body building experience. My bodybuilding career has run concurrently with my 45 year professional management career in corporate America which included working for five Fortune 500 companies up to the level of Corporate Director. I am also a certified personal trainer with demonstrated success in delivering exercise, nutritional seminars and exhibiting training techniques at sports conventions and shows. Currently I am serving as a National (NPC) Pro IFBB and International (IFBB) judge. In addition, I have been a US delegate and judge to the World Universe Championships and have been acknowledged for my longevity and dedication to the sport of bodybuilding. At age 66, I am still respected in the gym for my strength and training skills. I was granted Pro Status as an IFBB Body Builder in May 2004.

Tiffany's Impact on My Life – by Candice Harris Belfer
I will never forget the day April 5, 2010... I came head on with Head Fitness Trainer; Tiffany Yates at Fitness Ridge, Biggest Loser Resort. Ironically I had just finished her "Mountain" class. It was the first class of my first day of eight hour ASS-kicking classes that I had waited months for. I was up over 35 pounds and an emotional wreck. I also had a huge chip on my shoulder and couldn't admit that I needed to be there even if I knew I WANTED to. I was so mad at myself for failing, consumed by my home trainer who kept telling me I wasn't ever going to succeed, that I was lazy, and I had let him down. It wasn't him, it was me! I let myself down but I didn't understand it + "It" was suffocating and deafening. Tiffany saw me walking out at the end of class with tears and she insisted that I must look at the FULL view. What did that mean? Perhaps what it applies in my life today! I have been so mad at my book keeper for stealing from me this past year, and my nanny who has been critically ill in the hospital that I forgot to take care of myself. Then, my friend Jen Morton calls to tell me that Tiffany is dedicating an Iron Man for me and I quickly remembered how strong I really am. I must continue to repeat this to myself and begin to live it: "Tiffany, I got this. I know what to do. You gave me everything I need so it's time to do it!"
Love to each Fitness Ridge Fitness Professional who works every day to help people struggling with obesity find a reason and a way to LIVE! Go life Ethics, Inc. and My Genes Fit!! |
