Spotlight Trainer
of the Month
Autumn Edwards
As a kid, I was glued to physique competitions that appeared on T.V. As an adult, I have the opportunity to participate on stage rather than in my living room floor. It took me two years to step on stage after watching my first show and meeting with an IFBB professional. My competition interest continued to grow as a spectator and aspirant. Although I had debated on competing in the Northern last year and actually decided to compete since this November, I’ve really been preparing my entire life for this.

How to Detect a Heart Attack
- Patrick Gamboa
We are each endowed with a marvelous and delicate organism we know as our body, which is capable of so many amazing things that we sometime forget how delicately balanced our systems are that provide us life. However, we are reminded of our mortality when tragedies occur and we at the ISSA are saddened that we have lost a valued friend and member of our family… Mr. Arturo Marin.
While it is indeed a sad day, out of tragedies we have opportunities to forge clarity. We would like to take the time to help educate all of our students of what a heart attack really is, how to detect it and what to do if you are with someone who appears to be having a heart attack.
For our Friend with the heart of a servant … ♥ Arturo Marin ♥
