ME: When it comes to training, what would be your number one tip to women looking to get onto stage? CM: Don't be afraid to train heavy. Ladies, you will not turn into the hulk, haha! As long as you're eating clean, lean and consuming the correct amount of calories you have nothing to worry about. ME: Do you have a favourite body part? What is your favourite body part to train, and what exercises do you do to shape it? CM: Yes, my favourite is legs and glutes. I train that twice a week and do four sets of each. • Step ups • Walking lunges • Reverse lunges • Squats • Leg extensions • Hamstring curls • Reverse hack squats • Duck squats • Leg press “As long as you’re eating clean, lean and consuming the correct amount of calories you have nothing to worry about.” ME: What is your least favourite body part? CM: It used to be calves... but that is slowly changing. After seeing improvements from training a lot heavier and harder, they're not so bad anymore. ME: What does your weekly split look like? CM: Every morning I do one hour cardio then the evenings are as follows: • Mondays: chest and triceps • Tuesdays: back and biceps • Wednesday: hamstrings and glutes • Thursday: calves and shoulders • Friday: another one hour cardio session • Saturday: quads • Sunday: rest ME: Talk us through a typical day for you. How do you fit everything in? CM: I wake up at 4:30am every morning to do cardio from 5am-6am. When I get home from gym at 6:15am, I get my little princess ready to be at school by 7:30am. My days do vary as I work as a nutritional consultant and I have flexible hours. So usually between 8am- 3:30pm I see clients. Then I fetch my daughter from school at about 4pm and go straight to gym again for our second session. We normally train until about 5:30pm so we basically miss peak hour traffic, which is great. At about 6:30pm my husband prepares dinner. I know, lucky me right? We eat at about 7pm at the latest. Usually try and be in bed by 9 to 9.30pm in order to get enough rest. . . . n u f e m o s e v a Let’s h ? l man’s physique What is the idea eal id y m is or He g n”. in t work The “D ean Maso ue!
