Sponsored by Premier Physiques and former Mr. Olympia, Dexter Jackson, the show was Anderson's first foray into the world of fitness and figure com- petition. The tanned and toned 23-year-old won the Women's Bikini Tall (5'6") Division. "I was both nervous and excited to get my first com- petition under my belt. Being on stage and posing in front of an audience that included my dad was great. Winning the first-place tro- phy was a real bonus," said Anderson. She thanked her person- al trainer, MWR Fitness Assistant Travis White, for guiding her quest for fit- ness.

As a certified per- sonal trainer and former bodybuilder, his guidance and training cycles have helped me reach a level of fitness I had never envi- sioned." White's primary job is helping active duty Sailors prepare for their PRT and deployment. "We also pre- pare Sailors selected for IA assignments to meet physi- cal training standards of the Army or Marine Corps." He said that few patrons of the NAS Jax Fitness Source are as dedicated and hard working as Anderson. "Jessica shows great potential and I believe this win will be the first of many more. She's come a long way in a short time. We set goals three months ago that have already been achieved. Her next bikini competition will be the National Physique Committee Europa Show in Orlando," said White. Anderson said, "Nutrition can be the most difficult part of fitness training. I eat a strict diet that's tai- lored to my body type for me, that means lower carbs." Her daily training regi- men includes about four hours of cardiovascular exercise. "Travis keeps the training interesting and unpredict- able, so it never gets bor- ing. The Stairmaster and I are best friends. I also run on the treadmill and out- side and incorporate high- intensity interval training into the training cycle. I also have a number of iPod selections programmed for different machines and rou- tines," she said. Pumping iron is a plea- sure for Anderson. "I love to lift it's really my passion. We do some machines, but mainly free weights, for about an hour." Instead of bodybuilding, she chose to train for the Figure Bikini Class, where contestants are judged on how lean and toned they are. Bikini competitors come on stage in groups and go through the manda- tory poses. Each competitor then returns for her indi- vidual presentation. Anderson recently became a member of Dexter Jackson's "Blade Fitness Team," with whom she attended the "2009 Photo by Clark Pierce Fitness competitor HM3 Jessica Anderson gets a hand with free weights from MWR Trainer Travis White during a recent workout at NAS Jax Fitness Source.

I met some of the biggest names in the fitness business, includ- ing Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman," said Anderson. "I want to get my pro card within two years and then walk on stage at 'The Arnold' and take the tro- phy in Figure. Fitness is a lifestyle that I hope to turn into a career."
