My name is Minna Paakkinen. I was born in Helsinki, FInland in
1971... You do the Math! I have a degree in Marketing from the
University of Helsinki, and I have been certified as a personal
trainer through the NSPA (National Strength Professional Association)
since February, 2001. I also have CPR certification.
I have been physically active since the age of 4. I have always
been curious of trying everything. This drove my mother nuts...
I did "fairytale" and later on regular ballet (I know it sounds
kind of funny when you think about my short, stocky build). I also
participated in gymnastics, judo, karate, swimming, track, boxing,
floor ball in team competitions, and since I come from the middle
of snow and ice, I did ice skating, cross country, and downhill
skiing. These days I concentrate more on weight training and active
outdoor sports such as rollerblading.
I have also participated in many other activities such as singing
in the choir, playing the piano, oil painting, drawing and boating
(I have Coast Captain papers). I enjoy traveling and have visited
China, Scandinavian countries, most of Europe, Canada, Mexico and,
of course, the USA. My other favorite things to do are cooking
and reading (mainly about exercise, nutrition).
Hopefully, this gives you some kind of idea about this small Finnish
person... If you have any questions, you're more than welcome to
ask!
Oh, and by the way. One of my good qualities... (yeah, only one,
even though there are so many... ha, ha!). I AM AN EXTREMELY ORGANIZED
PERSON IN ALL WAYS, which makes me very practical, logical and
very effective in everything I do!
