About the Authors

Hugo A. Rivera
graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and also holds two certifications from ISSA, as a trainer and a specialist in nutrition. Born on December 5, 1974 in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, he was an overweight child and experienced at an early age the insecurity that comes with obesity and the ridicule of those around him. After going anorexic at the age of 13 and losing a total of 70 pounds in less than a year, his concerned parents took him to a nutritionist in an effort to stop the anorexic cycle. This nutritionist mentioned one thing that would change Hugo’s outlook on dieting forever: “Eating food will not make you fat; only abusing the quantities of the bad foods will.” Hugo decided to kick his anorexia and instead dedicate his life to studying the effects of foods on the human physiology.

By the age of fifteen, Hugo’s interest in how food affects the shape and the form of your body naturally led to an interest in exercise, something that led him to become an avid natural bodybuilder.

He discovered early on that there wasn’t much realistic or practical bodybuilding/fitness advice and went on to record what did and didn’t work for him. After much trial and error, he started finding principles that he noticed worked on any healthy human being. The best part of it all was his discovery of the fact that there was no necessity to stay all day at the gym in order to get results! Upset at the fact that not many people in the industry cared about trainees actually reaching their goals, he decided to create a web site and start conducting personal training during his college years in an effort to spread all of the knowledge that he had acquired.

Twenty years later Hugo holds a Statewide Natural Bodybuilding Title (Mr. Typhoon Bay) and also a 4th Place in the Nationwide NPC Team Universe (the natural bodybuilder’s highest and most competitive contest). Hugo is now considered an expert in the industry and he has dedicated much of his time to helping normal
people achieve their dream figures by sharing sensible and practical knowledge that he has found over the years to work ever on the most stubborn metabolisms. Hugo has shared his knowledge on his website
www.hrfit.net
, through various radio interviews and speaking engagements, as well as on several articles published in the numerous magazines and websites all over the world, such as:

Hugo authored and self-published an online bodybuilding manual called
Body Re-Engineering
. In 2001 he commercially published two books called
The Body Sculpting Bible for Men
and
The Body Sculpting Bible for Women
with co-author James Villepigue, an authority in exercise form and the connection between the mind and the muscle. In these books, both authors apply the periodization principles used by pro athletes to workouts geared for people whose main goal is to lose weight and firm up. Both books soon became bestsellers and now there are over eight book extensions on that franchise.

Hugo was selected from thousands of applicants from all over the world to become the new
www.Bodybuilding.About.com
guide, an
About.com
website owned by the
New York Times
Company whose goal is to help beginners start a safe and healthy weight-lifting program, choose the right gear for their needs, and offer motivation to help users meet their personal goals.

Finally, Hugo has co-authored nutrition and training programs along with actress, fitness icon, and six-time Ms. Olympia Cory Everson. He has also served as consultant to high schools helping to put together bodybuilding shows and educating the students on the several aspects of bodybuilding competition and the dangers of steroids. Hugo also visits elementary schools and talks to kids about the importance of a solid education coupled with fitness and exercise. Hugo serves as a consultant to nutrition companies designing nutritional formulas and does seminars all over the world on the subjects of training, nutrition and supplementation.

Hugo’s knowledge of the human physiology and anatomy (something that he was exposed to from an early age as his grandfather was a medical doctor), combined with his analytical skills developed through his engineering profession, enable him to produce extremely efficient programs that anyone can fit into their schedule. Because he was overweight and then extremely underweight, he can easily identify with many different groups of people- and his history of juggling several jobs allows him to offer practical advice that people who live a hectic lifestyle can follow.
