MANUELITA ACUNA; God's Glory, Columbia to America, Injured Athlete to IFBB Pro

Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Manuelita Acuña, a 20-year-old
from Colombia, who has lived in the USA for 2.5 years. A former
member of the Columbian National Trampoline team, she retired
after winning the 2019 National championships and sustaining an
injury. Who her mom came to visit her in March of 2022, she
realized she wasn’t in a good spot mentally or physically, so she
decided to make a change and began working out again. She began
her bodybuilding journey in March of 2023 when she began coaching
with Daniela Benitez.


 


She won the overall at her first show and then won her Pro card
in December 2023 at Nationals, only her second show ever!
