Hello there, my name is Christina Jung and I’m one of the newest members of the TigerG Team (I’m a baby cub of Tiger’s Team as some may say, hehe!) I recently competed in the Sports Model Division in the ANB 2008 Sydney Championships held at Castle Hill RSL and I came 3RD!! I am extremely passionate when it comes to exercise and healthy eating, I’ve always been since a very young age. I had always participated willingly in all sports in Primary and High School. Mmm I actually enjoyed the early morning and late afternoon training session. |

I started going to the GYM during first year university at Sydney Uni and continue going to this very day, I LOVE IT! I love the feeling and that ‘buzz’ that you get after a workout and the bonus of seeing your friends there too! As they say; I am a true ‘GYM JUNKIE!’ Though I am extremely health conscious and exercise ‘freak’, I am only human and I still enjoy the naughty things in life such as scrumptious wood fire pizzas, potato wedges, cheesecakes and gelato. Let me tell you a little bit about myself- I am currently a full time Primary School Teacher in Sydney South West Region. I am also a Co-coordinator of an Active Afternoon Care Program for kids at our school. This is a Government funded Program which we run twice a week after school, it is aimed at reducing Kidhood Obesity levels and promoting health active kids of the ‘future!’ |

I am also a Qualified Personal Trainer and Cycle Instructor. I teach a few cycle classes per week and train a few clients as well! I am also studying an Advance Diploma in Applied Science in Nutrition via Distance Education. I guess eventually I want to move in the direction of the Fitness Industry for good as this is where my true passion lies. Mmmmmm I do live an extremely busy lifestyle but I still find time to chill out! I enjoy just hanging out with my best friends- cooking up a feast and watching DVDs till late with lots of naughty snacks on the side too (hehe!) I haven’t been into this whole bodybuilding thing for too long. It only crossed my mind late last year when I saw those hot looking bodies in my favourite magazine ‘Oxygen’ and I thought to myself, one day I want to look like them (hehe!) After approximately 14 weeks of strict dieting and HARDCORE training day and night I entered and competed in my first competition ever- October 2007 ANB Central Coast- Novice Figure and I came 3rd, WOW!!! I also went on to compete in the same division at the Nationals 1 weeks later, though I didn’t qualify in the top 5, I had great time on stage and to be competing National is an achievement already! At the Nationals is where I met the famous Tiger G and we got chatting and chatting… |

In late January I contacted Tiger for some help with my preparation for the Sports Model Competitions I decided to compete in. After months of dieting, training and walking in those 6 inch heel and those long days and nights of practice the Comp days finally arrived- In May 2008 I registered myself into 3 Sports Model Competitions. First I competed in INBA Sydney Championships and came 2nd, WOO HOO!!! 2 weeks later I competed in ANB South Coast Championships and came 3rd, YIPEE!!! Then 1 week later was the biggest test of all for me, the Major Titles- the ANB Sydney Championships held at Castle Hill RSL. Here is where I showed my true colours, I knew this day is it- all that hard work has hopefully paid off and its time to SMILE SMILE SMILE and just show it all off NOW! I did my personal best up there on stage, I had the time of my life up there… Mmmm it’s amazing how a couple sips of champagne can help with the nerves! (hehehe!) After a long day, the time had come to announce the Champions, I was pretty nervous at this point of the night- still smiling I confidently walked elegantly back on stage with the other Sports Models. I was truly hoping for at least top 5, then when it came to Announcing the top 3 WoW WoW Wow- yes I came 3rd and Yes I was So SHOCKED and Extremly HAPPY!!! I didn’t come 1st but 3rd was an INCREDIBLE achievement and no matter what happen that day, I was just proud to be up there on Stage! It had been tough couple months leading up to the Comps- cleaning up my diet, not getting to have those naughty foods I enjoy occasionally… and all that hardcore training morning, noon and night (hehe!) Each day closer and closer to the Comps, it got harder and harder, nervous and exciting- mixed feelings…As Rob the President says at every Comp during the Competitors meeting- ‘You are a Winner/ Champion already before you hit that Stage!’ To be there is the greatest achievement of all!!
First I’d like to say a ENORMOUS THANK YOU from all my heart to TIGER G for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! You have truly been a shining star- the one that has guided me the whole journey and taught me not just how to walk more lady like but taught me what is it to be a true Athlete at this Sport! You have been totally supportive, encouraged me throughout the whole journey so far this year, you have been an INSPIRATION! Thank you for putting up with me and for helping me move my hips alittle more and lecturing me to SMILE!!! (hehehe) You are a true Motivator and someone I can look up to and I look forward to continuing my Body Building journey with you in the future! Look out TIGER G girls are going to KICK SOME BUTT, hehe! Thanks for EVERYTHING TIGER!
I’d like to say a HUGE ‘Thank you’ with all the heart to 2 special people in my life- they are my 2 BESTEST friends in the Entire World, you know who you are… I LOVE YOU both SO MUCH! Thank you for ALWAYS being there for me and putting up with me!! (hehehe) Mmm one day we are all going to be together up on that Bodybuilding Stage- keep training hard and eating that yummy chicken/ fish and broccoli, OH YEAH Go Banana Brains and FM!
Where to from now- well…. Of course I want to remain in shape and as fit as I can be ever be! I’m not too sure wheather I will compete in October this year 2008, mmm we’ll see how I go. Thinking of competing in Figure again next year 2009- mmm Tiger G going to help prepare me (AHHHH hehehe!) That means more food to build and Hard core Training… I believe I can do it, with driven passion and determination the sky’s the limit!
Let me leave you with this- “Be positive in all that you do and keep following your Dreams in Life! Life’s too short, enjoy each and every day- as we are Alive and Living in such an AMAZING country!!” |
