Here is a good photograph of Monica taken by our friend Gene X at Orange Photographymb_phixr.jpg
We also like Monica’s pleasing explanation of how she started working out as reported at Figure RX: “I had 3 older sisters who I had to defend myself against, LOL. I really did, I started working at the age of 12 at a coffee shop and in order to learn how exactly to defend myself I took up boxing. Any money I made went to my personal trainer, Chris Cardonia, from the Bellmore Kickboxing Academy in New York. We would weight train together and I noticed how fast my physique developed. I loved boxing but that was where my relationship with weight training took off. I did a bit of soccer in middle school but I liked boxing, it sounded tough and it was fun!”
