Yeah, she looks amazing for any age really! No wonder she keeps kicking ass :grin:

Pretty sure she's 50 :wink: but maby I shouldn't be saying that

[MasterTel]

Ha - I'm sure Jo won't be too happy with being called 50 just yet! :wink:

She is definitely 48 (she'll be 49 this November) .. like me she was born in 1960.

Whoevere the main directors of this website are, they should look at getting a feature on closeup about bodybuilding in New Zealand. I was involved with a verrrry obscure sport called airsoft at the time, and we got a section on the show. Anyway, our number went through the roof, people got to understand it more and the members tripled almost overnight.

It would also show the public that we're real people, highly committed, disciplined and driven, because at the moment, the country doesn't understand or respect the sport.
