I joined AusBB because I wanted to start to train harder, speak to other like minded people, gain information and seek advice. I have a really supportive other half who also loves fitness + BB, so I thought it was time to reach out a little more. I am pretty shy when it comes to strangers and don't talk to many people at the gym.
I love weights and pushing myself further- cardio will never be my thing. In the middle of last year I found out that I have a type of congenital heart disease (thanks for missing it for 23 years), so I guess that puts a future career as a marathon runner out of the question! So keeping fit, healthy and active is very important to me.
Since I reached my first goal (which was to get healthier after quitting smoking in 2010), I have set a new goal for myself: keep getting better and enter into an ametuer fitness model competition. I don't have to win, but I thought it was an attainable and worthwhile goal as I admire many fitness models and their attitude.
