1.
What
got me into fitness?
The same as most
people… it was 2 days before 2015 and I hated what I saw in the mirror. So I decided
to do something about it. Started with slimmingworld… a diet I’ve never truly understood
but to begin with it worked… after about 3 months I stopped seeing progress, joined
a gym and focused on eating healthy. The more I learnt over the years, through
study and experienced I discovered what worked for me and what didn’t.

How
do I stay motivated?
Truth is I go
through long periods where I’m not motivated at all. I have a habit of letting
other parts of my life taking over and controlling me. The thing is, fitness is
something I am truly in love with, so I always go back to it when I’m ready. I think
this applies to most people in the fitness industry, we don’t love it all the
time, we aren’t always disciplined and perfect, but we fall back on it as a
source of happiness.
3.
What
is my favourite muscle group to train?
This changes a
lot…. There was a time where I only liked training legs and glutes. Because its
what I felt strongest in. Then I really put a focus on training my upper body
and now I’m enjoying that. I’m like everyone else, if I struggle in an area I don’t
enjoy training it…. !
4.
Do
you follow Macro’s?
I’ve gone
through phases of following macros and I would actually recommend it to anyone.
It’s the most fail safe way to hit your goals. However for standard day to day
eating when I’m not prepping with a goal in mind I stick to intuitive mindful
eating. I think when you have been doing it as long as me you get a good idea about
portion sizes and what kinds of food your body responds best to.
5.
What
supplements and vitamins do you take?
All of my
supplements are supplied by Time4Nutrition I highly recommend, in fact if you DM
me I can hook you up with a sweet discount! I currently use their pre workout
(bubblegum flavour) and their protein which is a nice casein and whey blend, I love
both the coconut vanilla milk and raspberry ripple flavour! I also use their
Rhubarb and Custard intra workout (BCAA) and that stuff is tastyyy! I even made
ice pops with them last summer! So good! For vitamins I take omega 3 daily and
5-HTP with vitamin c and b6 in.
