Question 5

What or who made you want to pursue an active and healthy lifestyle?

Lucia: I was 17 years old and I was suffering from eating disorders, I refused to eat for fear of getting fat, I enrolled in a gym with a trainer and I felt very weak during my first experience in the weight room. Lack of strength, lack of mobility, I was not in shape at all despite of what I thought. This bad and frustrating experience prompted me to learn about nutrition and bodybuilding. I started reading books, online articles, magazines and I quickly dove into this new and captivating world. It then became a real passion.

Lucia: Vanilla

Question 7

WHAT IS YOUR POSITION ON THE USE OF ILLEGAL OR UNCONTROLLED DRUGS IN CERTAIN SPORTS SUCH AS THE FITNESS WORLD?

Lucia: Uncontrolled drugs in sports is a complex and highly controversial universe. I think there are a lot of factors that can make a professional athlete use performance enhancing drugs: the evolution of science, higher revenues, higher expectations, etc.

Moreover, since the Roman’s era, sports are organized to entertain the general population raising political and economic stakes. I do believe that an athlete puts his health and reputation at risk by using illegal substances, but at the same time, I understand that someone can be ready to do anything for his sport and his passion. As for the world of bodybuilding and individual sports, I believe that the athletes should educate themselves more about the risks involved in doping and be followed by a health professional. In the end, the decision belongs to him.

That being said, I totally agree with the rules and sanctions applied in fighting sports like boxing or MMA where the use of illegal drugs could endanger the other competitor.

Question 8

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
