getting started deesel style

Everything happens for a reason and I have recently reshifted my focus on teaching yoga full time. The morning after I found out I had lost my job, I was reminded that I have some of the best people in my life as the messages, calls and emails flowed in with love. Thank you!

Two hours later, I was given the opportunity to train at what will soon prove to be one of the best personal training gyms to land in Hong Kong, Ultimate Performance. These guys are serious about their own development and their clients’ results. I am embarking on six weeks of physical transformation as well as mental in getting clarity on where I bring my yoga classes in HK.

Through this blog, I will share the myths about weight training for women, where to get your food, girl crush tips by some of Hong Kong’s hottest female trainers and athletes and how a regular yoga practice can compliment your goals to be your best self when you put your mind to it. For those of you who don’t know, the phrase “girl crush” is used by other girls to define another girl who is inspiring, motivating, strong and hot! Ultimately this blog is for everyone, to contribute, ask questions, make comments and share their opinions from first hand experience or as the expert. I am not an expert in weight training and I have just as many questions so I am here to share this journey with you.

So here is where I start at week one- 166cm tall, 66kg in weight, 22% body fat, I am working with an incredible team of two trainers and one COACH on my nutrition and workouts to achieve, 1 close grip chin up, 1 66KG dead lift, drop my body fat to 13.5% and be stabilized in my neck, shoulders and back from one rotator cuff injury and one tail bone injury in just six weeks. I am here to do the work and share with you so, if there’s something you want to know more about, ask! If I don’t know, I will find the answer for you.

 

 Finally, one of the questions on my pre trainig questionnaire was, “Is there a person out there who you would most like to (physically) emulate?” My answer, Ronda Rousey, first and current UFC champ, Judo Olympian and she is so hot right now!

girl crush tip: “It means not having any fear. I was always brought up to be confident, full of ambition, without fear. I was taught to do whatever you want to do. Just be the best in the world at it… You need to leave the world better than how you found it. It’s your duty to have ambition and passion and go after something” R.Rousey + her mom’s advice on what it means to be strong.
