TDiLuca Track&Field

TDiLuca Track&Field

I’ve been involved in sports since I was 4 years old.  I started track in 7th grade and competed in the High School New York State Championships as a senior, in the 100 meter hurdles. I even missed my high school graduation for that one!  I continued to compete in college, at Division I Fordham University, where I broke school records in the 55 meter hurdles and 100 meter hurdles.  After college, when I decided to attend law school, I knew I needed a hobby that would keep me focused on my goals of staying fit and healthy, and allow me to compete (yes, I’m a competitive person – so sue me! It’s part of the fun).  That’s how I got into the INBF then the NPC, as a Natural Figure Competitor. It was something different and elegant, and provided a new venue to express and demonstrate my athleticism.  I’ve also kept my sprinting/hurdling training going, and currently I compete in the USA Track & Field (USATF) along with other events like the Colgate Women’s Indoor Games, the Empire Liberty Tour, and the Valentine Invitational.

My coach is Dwayne Johnson of CTS Performance, and he has trained me for the past two years. It’s through him that I was introduced to the Life Health Secrets supplements.  Coach Johnson has developed a sprinting/hurdling and weight lifting program that is individualized to my body and training needs.  As a result, during the 2008-2009 indoor and outdoor season I ran personal bests in the 55 meter hurdles and 100 meter hurdles.  I have literally run through time barriers that I never thought that I could, until I started training with Coach Johnson.

My goals this indoor and outdoor season are to run my personal bests in the 55 meter hurdles, 60 meter hurdles, and 100 meter hurdles. I’ll keep you posted on my progress!

I work as a personal trainer and also as a clinicShanel al nutritionist and buyer for a retail pharmacy. The products that I stock in my store (and the products that I recommend to my customers) are the ones I would use myself. I am a big believer in products that are clean and very pure (no artificial sweeteners, no additives, no superfluous chemicals). And the quality has to be good.

I am also a fitness competitor. In 2007, I competed in the International Natural Bodybuilding Federation competition. I have since appeared in Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness Magazine twice, once in 2008 and again in 2009.

For the past 3 months, I’ve been using Protein Extreme Energy one to two times a day. I’ve used protein powders before but none have given me the results I needed like Protein Extreme Energy. With Protein Extreme Energy, I build lean muscle mass and I feel great.
