Tell us more about yourself

What are your personal fitness goals?

To shred stubborn fat on my belly, thighs and butt and then tone my whole body. I will work to maintain my new body afterwards.

How will you use your #BiogenFaceOfFitness ambassadorship to inspire women to lead a healthy / fit lifestyle if you win?

I want to build a social media following to help those around me;. my family, friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbours and my community, by sharing lessons I’ve learnt from my weight-loss journey. I will inspire them by being living proof that you don’t have to be famous or have thousands of followers to live a healthy, active lifestyle. My message will be that it starts with you, and that you must do it for yourself and no one else.

What health and fitness quote or mantra do you live by?

“Look after your body because it’s the only place you live in.”

Tell us about your fitness lifestyle

I train 4-6 times a week. I do cardio, HIIT and strength training. I run once or twice a week to keep the balance. I prepare my meals to eat healthfully, and detox and cleanse now and then. I also implement intermittent fasting occasionally when I feel it’s needed.

Why do you think you’re the Biogen Face of Fitness?

Because life is a gamble. It offers us opportunities, chances and possibilities… maybe this is my time?
