A great conversation with an amazingly driven, naturally sexy lady, mother, wife and business woman. That describes host John Hansen’s in-depth interview with multiple-title figure champion Angela Mraz.

Angela’s not just a champion… she believes in helping others; especially the ladies who want to get into shape, stay in shape, and realize their dreams. She spends a lot of time answering questions and giving tips on her website. Check it out!

Angela Mraz’s story on how she has become one of the most popular fitness models is inspiring. Angela grew up with a dream, but that dream wasn’t to become a fitness star. Her dream was something many of us take for granted. Born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, Angela’s dream was to travel to the United States, “the land of opportunity”.  At the young age of 19, Angela packed up and left her native home of Colombia on her own to pursue her dream of living in America and exploring the all of the opportunities that she heard the United States had to offer.

As you can imagine, arriving in the U.S. alone at the age of 19 and not speaking a word of English presented immediate challenges. But Angela never gave up, never quit and always remained true to her dream. Eventually, Angela discovered that working out and fitness was her true passion. She set her sights on becoming a competitive fitness athlete with the hopes of being able to make a career in the fitness world. Angela applied her tenacious perseverance to succeed in achieving her new dream. And again it has paid off. Angela has become one of the most popular fitness models in the sport. With a reputation of always being in shape, Angela maintains fitness perfection 365 days of the year. She credits her trademark conditioning to the consistency in her diet, a strict training regimen and supplementation. Remarkably, Angela is able to stay in peak shape while working a full time job as a International Sales Representative for MHP, Personal Trainer and being a dedicated wife and mother. So, if Angela can do it, so can you! Take the critical step and make training, diet and supplementation part of your lifestyle today.
