“Don’t let distractions distract you! Keep moving! A day at a time! A bit at a time! This is the key!”
Born and raised in Brasilia, Brazil, Sue wasn’t very athletic growing up as a teenager. She lived a very unhealthy lifestyle and soon found herself overweight.
At this point, Sue became unhappy with her body – she knew that she had to make a change.
It wasn’t long until she embarked on her fitness journey, training rigorously 5 days a week and following a strict diet to attain her dream physique. At the age of 19, Sue began transforming her body.
Sue made serious progress over the next 9 years, losing an impressive 46 pounds. She was proud of her development and wanted to take her interest in fitness further.
At the age of 28, Sue made the big decision to enter a Fitness Competition – the 2013 South Brazilian Bodybuilding Championships as a Wellness-Fitness Athlete.
Although she didn’t win, Sue placed 4th out of 42 participants. This experience motivated her to step up her game and focus on becoming a professional fitness athlete.
Sue’s transformation.
Sue was approached by a photographer to become a model after her debut show. She was an instant hit and became a celebrity in Brazil, gaining even more exposure in the industry.
It wasn’t long until Sue decided to further her career, risking everything by moving to the Miami, America.
After years of intense training and hard work, Sue succeeded in sculpting one of the greatest female physiques in the world.
By the age of 31, she’d created an Instagram profile to spread her passion for fitness and became an online sensation.
“I am Brazilian! That means I love training gluts and quads!”
Sue works out 6 days per week, resting on Sundays. Her reps range from 12-15, making sure to maintain and develop her lean figure.
“Do something every day that will take you towards your goal.”
“Not many people believed in me when I first decided to start my fitness journey and the fact that I have made it this far is really something special to me.”
Throughout her journey, Sue has always been inspired by her own progress. But she also names her fans as the inspiration behind her success – she loves seeing others working to reach their goals.
“Well, something that really motivates me is to motivate people change their lives within fitness. To see all of my fans sending emails and msgs saying that I inspire them and I actually see that many of them have already gotten big changes!”
Sue has taught us that it’s possible to transform your physique regardless of where you start. She began her journey as an overweight teenager who no-one believed in.
One thing we can take away from Sue’s story is that with the right attitude and determination, anything is possible.
