“Originally I started exercising to have an attractive body, but now what motivates me is how I feel – exercise makes me feel great,” says this 5-foot-4, 123-pound gal. Staying in super shape not only gives Tammy Lynn a physique she is proud of, but it also gives her confidence to do anything. For instance, she didn’t think she’d get to a nation fitness competition, but with hard work and determination Tammy Lynn placed both in the 2001 and 2002 WTF Vegas competitions. Tammy Lynn says she sculpts her body by training with heavy weights (three to five times a week). “Although weight training is what keeps me in shape, my favorite activity is mountain biking – it’s exercise for the soul,” she says. When Tammy Lynn’s not working out or in the gym, you’ll probably find her digging in the dirt – she adores gardening.
