BAJAN SUN MAGAZINE OCT 2014 As a female bodybuilder, what would you say are your greatest challenges? As a female body fitness competitor when you say challenges if you mean how others see me: I’d say people like to see when other people take their health seriously; others don't like it, they would comment on the fact that women shouldn't be that muscular. If you mean from another point of view as in what are my challenges where training or a body part is concerned, I would say for me getting my legs in shape is usually my greatest challenge. What are your greatest achievements in terms of your physique and competitions? My greatest achievements where my physique and competitions are concerned are improvements. The job is never completed; there is always more work to be done. What is your diet like? I'm not on a strict diet right now as competition is not part of my regimen at the moment. But, I try to keep it clean and at the same time fulfilling my cravings (smiles). How often do you work out? Usually, I would work out four to five days a week. But, in recent times I’ve only managed to make it two days sometimes one day and if I’m lucky I’ll get there three days a week .
