What makes a great fitness
model? A solid work ethic, a great attitude and an exercise science
knowledge base.
What are the secrets to become a
fitness model? There are no secrets. Work hard and train hard.
Also, remain feminine and be a great business person. The industry is
so small and having a good reputation is so very important.
What did you do to become a
model? I put some pictures up on
www.onemodelplace.com
and
started to market myself on the Internet. Anything that is related to
Ava Cowan has been created only since Jan. 15, 2005. That is the day I
put up a profile, and here we are now.:)
What are the benefits to being a
fitness model? You are forced to look great year round. And
hopefully you can meet other fit people in the industry.
What is your favorite things
about being a fitness model? Traveling and sharing my story about
my life and how important it is to remain fit. The sense of
accomplishment it can bring is unmatched.
How do you stay beautiful?
No drinking alcohol (no never.. not a sip) no smoking, and peace in my
heart.
How do you stay fit, do you have
a personal trainer, chef, work out, what do you do? I am a
certified personal trainer NSCA-CPT. I also went to the Fitness
Institute in Boca Raton and graduated.
I train 5-6 days a week.
Weight training, and cardio.
How do you keep you skin healthy
and fresh looking? I take an assortment of supplements that I get
from the health food store. I drink a lot of water, and I like to smile
as often as possible.
What do you believe is good
health and fitness? Doing the little things that can really make a
difference in your health. Watch out for saturated fats, exercise the
heart muscle and the muscles that support you and your precious organs.
Try to eat just a little bit healthier, and probably just a bit less.
Lower body fat has been proven to keep you alive longer.
Do you prefer to tan or use
tanning lotion? I do both. I will tan once a week, then spray on
the rest.

the lives of the people that I love.
