Sign: She’s an Aries

Hometown: Now living in Hackensack, NJ, but Jelena Abbou is originally from Eastern Europe-Serbia to be exact

Claim to Fame: This bombshell is an IFBB Pro.

In her free time: Like many fitness models, Jelena enjoys creating new recipes with healthy foods. “I love discovering new tastes,” she says.

On her bedside table: A romantic at heart, this fitness gal is a true fan of the forever after. “I really like reading love stories,” she says. But she’s on the opposite spectrum when it comes to films. “Crime, suspense, and drama. My favorite is Casino,” she says.

On her iPod: She keeps constant with her gym-bumpin’ tunes. You’ll find a range of hip-hop and house music on her iPod with some Serbian mixed in for fun.

In her fridge: You’ll never find junk in her fridge, not because she’s a cover model. “Growing up in Serbia, we did not have junk food, so I ate healthy all the time. Clean eating is not hard for me,” she says. We’re all a little envious.

Staying focused: Jelena’s got her eye on the prize. “Within the next two years I would like to place well in the Olympia. That keeps me motivated,” she says.

Words to live by: “When you have a hard time, try to focus on positive thoughts,” she says. “Sometimes I need to take two steps back if I want to be able to move forward.”

5 Things she can’t live without

1. iPod: “It's great while doing cardio.”

2. Lip gloss: “I don't wear a lot of make up, but I'm addicted to lip gloss.”

3. Cell phone: “I have everything in it: Contacts, emails, schedule.”

4. Nike sneakers: “Nikes are so cute and comfy. I have 10 pairs!”

5. Protein shakes: “I love freezing and eating them like ice cream.”
