On April 19th 2011, I woke at 3:30 in the morning so I could meet Mindi O'Brien at the Fitness Studio. She wanted to show me her new routine to get some feedback. As she started her routine, I was immediately reminded that I haven’t seen her perform a routine since the 2009 Olympia where she re-injured her back by cracking her L4-5 vertebra! Then after watching the next few seconds of her routine, my brain flashed through all the tears, pain, frustration, doctors, specialists, x-rays, MRI’s, therapists and treatments she's had over the last year and a half. As the music to her 2 minute routine came to a dramatic close, I found myself overwhelmed with emotion! I’ve never seen Mindi do a routine with such degree of difficulty and conviction.

"Why do you keep doing this?" I asked.

Mindi looked at me with excitement in her eyes and said:

“BECAUSE I LOVE IT! Now go email Scott Welch and the team from MUSCLE INSIDER and let them know and all of Canada know that Mindi O is Back! I’m ready! And I’m doing the Toronto Pro Supershow. I’ll be in the best shape of my life because this ones for me!
