My name is Wendy Fortino. I am a professional figure competitor with the IFBB, and I use this sport to keep me from eating decadent sweets. Just kidding… I do have a sweet tooth (big time!), but I definitely enjoy being in shape more than the few seconds of pleasure that sweets gives me.
I have been an athlete my whole life, competing in gymnastics, track, cross country, and now figure competition. I began my figure career in 2008 when my track career came to a halt due to a foot injury. On the surface, this sport appears shallow; but believe it or not, people LOVE to look and feel their best… And most people need a hard goal date to get there.
In 2011, I accomplished the greatest thing I may never be able to comprehend, by winning the overall title at the 2011 NPC USA Figure Championships. If this is the last thing that I ever accomplish in this sport personally (aside from the millions of people I plan to help in the coming years), I will be OKAY! 😛
