Shellie Petty
Shellie:
Shellie Petty has lived in Las Vegas all her life and has worked for
the Clark County Fire Dept for 12 years. She began weight training in
her 40s to lose fat.
"When
the fat came off, I began to notice alot of bulging muscle, so I decided
to pursue it. I didnt always like working out at first, until i began
to see my body change. I then decided that God had given me a gift, and
it would be a sin not to develop and perfect it.
"The
more changes I saw, the more I wanted to train, and train HARD! I have
been a recovering alcoholic for 16 years, and decided to ask God to help
me with this goal to build my body, as He helped me stay sober, and he
HAS! Today, I train hard and I am at the gym everyday, and I LOVE IT!
I have been training for a little over a year, have hired an IFBB pro
as my trainer and that was probably the smartest thing I have done thus
far in my bodybuilding program," she says.
Petty hopes
to do her first show in November 2003 in Las Vegas with the continued
help of Jeannie Paparone,
her trainer.
