When did you develop an interest in exercise and fitness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve always been active in sport and in my matric year reaching Western Province in High Jump athletics was my deciding factor.<\/p>\n

What made you decide to become a trainer\/coach\/instructor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a qualified coach and trainer. I love training people, being the driving force to people and seeing them achieve their goals is my\u00a0passion.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your response to people who say they don\u2019t have time to work out?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is always time to train, people train daily they’re just not aware that they do. Being in a gym isn’t the only place you can train, in your office or at home use your space there’s no excuse…<\/p>\n

What do you think is the biggest mistake people make when it comes to sticking with an exercise routine?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A common mistake is doing the same exercise program everyday for months or years and expecting different results or training and skipping days. Your programme will get you to a point and from there you need to progress to see results.<\/p>\n

How do you stay motivated to keep training?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thought of having a healthy toned body and a health mind is great, further more staying in shape for soccer is a must!<\/p>\n

How does the body benefit from variety in exercise?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Variety challenges the body, challenges bring results. I love this quote, “If it doesn’t challenge you it won\u2019t change you”.<\/p>\n

How do you change your personal exercise routine up?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Progression, adding heavier weights and adding a functional exercise to my routine.<\/p>\n

For people who have never heard of your form of exercise how would you explain it to them?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good old fashion weight and functional training.<\/p>\n

How important is eating right?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eating correctly is one of the basics in training. Eating right plays a huge part in the effectiveness of your training program, your body needs the right food to operate and function at its best<\/p>\n

is your favourite workout or exercise?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deadlifts, good full body workout just there \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
