Because the gym is my happy place.

Because I love seeing improvements in my body.

Because my day doesn't feel complete unless I've trained.

Because I want to get a few cheeky photos of me with a six pack.

Because I love making myself stronger.

Because I love challenging my body.

Because it de-stresses and energises me.

Because I genuinely feel prettiest with hair tied back with no make up and lifting heavy!

NOW YOUR TURN!!!

I am always on the hunt for positive Fit Friends so please feel free to send me a Friend Request!



HAPPY TRAINING Y'ALL!!! xXx

    Because it is cheaper than buying a new, fatter wardrobe.

    Because I theoretically have abdominal muscles that I'd like to see proof of.

    Because it is the best way to forestall the progression of my arthritis.

    Because it releases endorphins that combat depression.

    Because I like food, and working out keeps me from hating food instead.

    Because I would like to hear "Oooh!" rather than "Ewww!" if my shirt is off in public.

    Because when I lift, I'm a boss.

    Because after I lift, I have enhanced self confidence, and a greater sense of self worth.

    I Train Hard because;


    .... it is just awesome !! I love strength training and pushing my body to failure ... you don't know just how awesome you are, until you push yourself to failure, and then go beyond .....

    .... starting strength training at a fairly young age (14-15yrs old) taught me early on that you never quit, you never give up, you always keep pushing, you push beyond what your brain tells you you can do, you push through that impossible task (next rep, extra set, bleak situation, ect...), because you CAN do it, you CAN get there .....
    and you WILL do it, and you WILL get there if you just keep pushing yourself, and never quit or give up.....

    Because I'm a lazy person by nature & if I don't then I'll make an excuse not to start up again. So I train hard every day with no rest days & will continue to do so till the day I die, I don't even quit when I'm sick.

    - I want to be healthy
    - I want to look good (I should say my best)
    - I want to be fit- fitness to not just lift weights and look strong but be active, try new things, and never say "I can't"
    - I want to feel better
    - I want to enjoy what I eat if I decide to cheat once in a while because I know I trained hard that day or will train hard tomorrow.
    - I like to see continual improvement in myself, not continual decline. you are either moving forward or falling behind, no one stays the same.
