Name: Nicole
Age: 39 (eep)
Gender: F
Location: Vic, Mornington Peninsula
Training experience: Was state and national-level cyclist on track and criteriums -- spent a lot of time in the gym for strength and power work. Fortunate in that I'm built to move quickly for short distances and lift heavy things for brief periods, however, lost habits after interstate moves and now have a chronic injury I'm working around. Love lifting though and am probably addicted to endorphins from wherever they come as long as they're healthy.
Any Interests: Cycling, lifting, reading, writing (have freelance resume writing business), my car.
Why you joined Ausbb: To feel part of a 'community' again. Also will be on the hunt for a trainer to help with managing the injury while developing new programs.
Do you have any goals in mind? The usual: less fat, more muscle.
