In this exclusive and frank interview, BFS takes a look inside Laura Dayton s world.<br><br>BFS: Were your parents instrumental in your choice of career?<br>Dayton: My father, who was an engineer, and my mother, who taught grade school, placed a tremendous value on education. There was never any doubt in our family that we would go to college. My father told us that each of us would work every day of our lives, so we d better find something we enjoyed doing. My parents encouragement helped me pursue a perfect career blending writing and fitness.<br><br>BFS: Your brother Mike was a Mr. America. How did he become involved in sports?<br>Dayton: When he was 13 he got a front tooth knocked out in a fight, and after that he became involved in wrestling and was encouraged by his coaches to lift weights. A few years later he met Jack Dillinger, a former Mr. America, who helped train him for bodybuilding competition. Mike won the Teenage Mr. America when he was 16, the youngest ever to win this title.<br> <br>BFS: Why did you start lifting weights?<br>Dayton: When Mike became successful, he was asked to contribute to bodybuilding and martial arts publications. I helped him write these articles, and I thought it would be best to train to better understand what I was writing about. I worked out hard, and in those early years I could out-bench-press most of the adult women in the gyms where I trained. As I learned more about weight training, I started writing my own articles. Of course I had to write under pen names, because I doubt that many bodybuilders were interested in reading an article by a 15-year-old girl about the best way to build 22-inch biceps!<br>BFS:
