Challenge 1: “After High school, I had a very bad image about training because of my history. This Challenge allowed me to completely fall in love with training all over again. Training became part of my daily routine and I even missed training on Sundays when it was an active rest day. I realised that weights really does not make you bulky and that when you train and eat right, your body will reward you with beautiful results. Training is also a celebration of what your body is capable of and not a punishment for when you feel like you ate too much or because you feel that you have to do exercise to feel and be healthy.
I feel so proud of myself. I am proud when I look in the mirror because I know I did this for me and that I gave my all the past 8 weeks. Before I started I thought that I will never be able to really stick to something for “so long”. I soon realised that 8 weeks is such a small part if you look at it in the bigger picture. My mom laughed at me in the beginning when I told her this is an investment and when I showed her my results today she said “wow, this really was an investment”. I don’t feel like a potato anymore, more like a skinny fry! I have grown so much mentally and I now have a better understanding of what it means to have a balanced life and a balanced diet. I feel that I understand my body better and how it reacts to food and you don’t always have to say no to a block of chocolate – every in moderation and consistency is key. I am more at peace with myself when I mess up and understand now more than ever that I am only human and that everyday is a new change to start over again. I LOVED THIS CHALLENGE!”
Challenge 2: I did the previous Challenge and fell absolutely in love with becoming a better version of myself. I did the second Challenge to grow and learn even more – about myself, my body, exercise and nutrition. I feel so much stronger. I have much more energy and I love that exercise is now part of my daily routine. For me it feels that I know now how to properly take care of my body.”
