LAWNA DUNBAR

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Lawna Dunbar, who started competing
in 2014. After taking 3 straight overalls, she competed at USA
where she got last call outs. After a 6 year break from the
stage, she continued her 1st place streak and the won her Pro
Card at the 2021 Ben Weider Natural Pro Am. She then made her Pro
debut at the Texas Pro, taking 5th place. Since then she has had
a breakout debut season, all while earning her Bachelor degree
and starting a new job! Lawna talks about her goals away from the
stage and how her love for fitness has stayed constant through
everything. Planning and routine have helped her be successful in
going to school and competing. As an adapted physical education
teacher, Lawna has found her passion helping children with
special needs learn about fitness.


 


Lawna tells us about how she meet her husband and their journey
in fitness together. Because their values are aligned, they are
able to support each other in reaching gather goals. We hear how
Lawna has approached her 2022 season and what she is doing to
reach her goals.
