Lisa Cross

Lisa Cross, born on 4 April 1978 in Rochdale, is a professional British female bodybuilder. She had eating problems that began while she was studying for her GCSEs and became anorexic around the age of 15, but she gained all As and A*s in her GCSEs and four A-Levels, which allowed her to take a degree in Russian and Politics at Birmingham University. She has been weight training since 2003 and conditioning for competitive entry since 2008. She first really got into bodybuilding in 2006, while living in Japan and teaching English, when her boyfriend at the time was a Japanese bodybuilding champion; she started reading up on bodybuilding, including about Negrita Jayde, and started training with weights.
