DSC_2196.jpgkashma-1.jpgI was born on Friday 13th February, 1981, at the San Fernando General Hospital, located in San Fernando, Trinidad

Prior to 2005, I rarely worked out with weights and if I did, I opted for light weights. However, due to the high volume of cardiovascular workouts that were now a part of my day due to number of classes I was teaching, I started incorporating weight training into my workouts in order to maintain some muscle mass and tone. I had quite a lean physique and with the addition of resistance training I noticed satisfying results. Now, because of my serious approach to training, my clean diet and my constantly changing physique, I was asked by friends, family and people at the gym if I was preparing for a competition.

At first I thought these comments were just failed attempts at humour, but after being asked enough times, I was encouraged to get into competing. I started to prepare for my first competition which would have been held in June 2007. However, due to my work schedule I was unable to compete. I was not discouraged. I saw this not as a set back but as an opportunity to improve my appearance.

Finally I was able to step on stage in June 2008 and won my first competition as a figure competitor in the TTBBF National Junior Bodybuilding Championships. I had been preparing on my own at this point even though I had the support of my training group and the advice of several former competitors who were based at my gym.
