One need only look at the determination in her eyes to know that
Elise can do anything that she sets her mind to accomplish, or, in
her own words - "conquer a dream".
And conquer she did!
Many use illness as an
excuse to be sedentary, preferring the comfort of assistance to the
pain of resistance. Elise chose the path of resistance, training
diligently, ploughing through obstacles until at last the lights
finally came on and she found herself on stage for the first time in
2006. It had taken her an extra three years of sweat, hard work
and discipline to get there, and in that shining moment she claimed
a prize far greater than any trophy, she had become a role model to
those whose dream falters under the burden of illness.
Punctuating her
accomplishment as a
figure competitor, Elise is also a certified
personal trainer, group aerobics instructor and licensed
esthetician. Her skills as a trainer and cosmetic artist are
evidenced not only in her piercing gaze and tightly honed physique,
but in the confident appearance of the clients who trust in her
talents.
Because of her unwavering commitment to
physical excellence, her
dedication to a cause and her ability to motivate and inspire
others, Lift for Life.com is honored to feature Elise Firestone as
the Figure Model of the Month.
