Jamie Eason Education| Breast Cancer| Cheerleader
In 2001, after her graduation from college and while working for her grandfather’s roofing company, she tried out for the new Houston Texans cheerleading squad. She was one of 35 girls selected from 1,600 girls in a rigorous two-day process.
After a short time as a Houston Texans cheerleader, she was diagnosed with breast cancer forcing her to a desk job where her inactive lifestyle and poor nutrition took a toll on her body. In an attempt to get in shape, she joined a local gym. She continued to work out and improve but wasn’t completely satisfied with her results. After consulting a nutritionist, she was put on a proper diet that completely transformed her body.
Desk Work and Getting out of Shape
The news that she was suffering from Cancer shocked Jamie, and she was forced to leave her cheerleading career behind. She took up a desk job and as a result of being inactive, her fitness took a hit.
Over the next 4 years, Jamie became miserable with her life – from the life-changing diagnosis to not being able to work out, she was going through a very difficult period of her life.
But Jamie wasn’t about to give up.
Return to the Gym
At the age of 30, in 2006, Jamie finally found the motivation to fight back against breast cancer. However, her inactivity had already done its damage.
The year away from the gym and leading a very unhealthy lifestyle had led to Jamie’s becoming overweight. She had been left her with stretch marks and cellulite on her body.
It was at this point that she found the determination to return to the gym and get back on her fitness journey.
Back on the Fitness Journey
With the help of a personal trainer and nutritionist, Jamie was soon on the path to sculpting a physique to be proud of. Facing adversity head-on had made her a much stronger person, and it wasn’t long until she was making great progress.
After a few months of intense training and dieting, Jamie had completely transformed her body. She was more determined than ever to make a name for herself in the fitness industry.
First Competition
Proud of her transformation, Jamie decided to enter her first competition – Hardbody Entertainment’s World’s Fittest Model 2006.
Her hard work paid off, and she walked away with the award after being 14 other female models at the Olympia Weekend. This was the start of an illustrious career in fitness for Jamie.
Cover Girl and Fitness Writer
Not long after becoming the World’s Fittest Model in 2006, Jamie was approached by several magazines to become their cover girl. But her success didn’t stop there.
By the time she was 32, Jamie had become the face of a leading bodybuilding website. She began posting training plans and motivational tips that she had picked up through her journey.
Before she knew it, she had become an online sensation, with millions being inspired by her story and advice.
Jamie Eason Career
Eason was first discovered at a fitness competition in Austin, Texas. She received a pro card after her first fitness competition in 2006 at the Hardbody Entertainment Model Search at the Olympia.
As a spokesperson, Eason has been dubbed the “female face” of Bodybuilding.com, the world’s largest and most-visited online retailer for sports supplements and nutritional products. Jamie also has authored several workout plans and routines that are followed by millions of people on bodybuilding.com. She also focuses on removing the stereotype that women with muscle are unfeminine. Eason has stated that she regrets some of her earlier photoshoots that showed more skin when she began her career modeling. She continues fitness modeling but encourages young women in fitness and modeling not to show a lot of skin stating “It’s not worth it.” Her training style mostly revolves around weight training, she has stated she prefers that over cardio training, so she doesn’t do cardio training a lot but heavily focuses on weight training.
Health through pregnancy has also been another topic of fitness Eason has discussed. In terms of losing baby weight in a healthy manner, Eason stated:
“First, create a plan. Have a workout plan ready to follow, and create a routine to prepare your meals just like you will for your baby. Second, breastfeed. It’s the best way to burn those excess calories and it’s good for the baby. Third, take regular walks or jogs by yourself, with your baby, or with your partner. It’s good to get fresh air, and every little bit of exercise will move you closer toward your goal.”
