     My name is Barbi Draper and I was born in Bloomington, Illinois but currently live in Austin, Texas. I've been active in sports all my life.  Yet, it wasn't until I've met the woman who inspired me in 2001, to push my fitness to the next level.  That woman is Adela Garcia!  I recently reconnected with Adela and she has guided me to not one, but TWO first place wins at the NPC Texas State Championships and the NPC Rocky Mountain Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships in Colorado.  

     I may have my residental address in Colorado, but I travel over 250 days a year. Despite the travel, Adela has helped me to make my training a priority. In the last 3 months, I've trained harder than ever.  I work 12+ hours a day, 6 days a week. To get in my workouts, I'm up at 4:45 every morning to do my first session of cardio. Over the lunch hour I manage to lift in at whatever gym is closest to the area I'm working in that day. Then, after work, I do another session of cardio.

     As far as eating goes, again, Adela has me on track with my diet!  I pack a cooler full of meals for the day.   Without Adela's inspiration and guidance to help me eat right, train hard, and use proper form when posing; I would never have experienced the amazing feeling of being on stage, qualifying for nationals, and taking home numerous 1st place trophies!  I want to earn my pro card and to be a pro, I have the best pro to train me - Adela Garcia!!!
