Biography

Bodybuilding – The Beginning

It wasn’t until her friend introduced her to bodybuilding that she became hooked.

“Before, I never liked sport actually. I started running to lose some weight. I found myself through regular exercise while watching my diet, and I felt a lot better in my own skin. After I had finished the Insanity program, I was looking for something new. My friend brought me when in contact with bodybuilding, and once I had started in the gym, I was hooked. This was my thing!”

Meal prep, posser lessen, and cardio, and making my own bikinis for the stage. Also, visual arts and fashion are great passions of mine. I visit so like a museum. I also play violin since I was 6, but I have a few months ago put to one side since the break up of my band.”
