Personal Trainer

While growing up, she wasn’t too enthusiastic about sports and working out. However, she later started taking interest in physical activity because as a young girl, she wanted to look good.

By the age of 18, she started going out for a run and swimming.

Later, she started doing TRX workouts, which is a suspension training system. It was suggested by her trainer to correct her back pain problem. Along with strengthening her back, it has also improved her arms and legs strength.

The trainer usually brings TRX bands to her home, however, if the weather is good, they take their workouts outdoors. Also, her trainer has incorporated a couple of free weight exercises and core work moves in her workout.

Although she hasn’t started dieting, she still has to watch what she is eating. For example, she has to cut back on her chocolate consumption. Earlier, she used to have wine with dinner and also enjoyed a pint of beer.
