I work as a physiotherapist, and one of my most important tasks is motivating people to move more and take care of their bodies. I already had a sporty lifestyle before studying my profession, but after graduating I started paying more and more attention to it, first and foremost for myself, but also to be the best possible role model for my clients.
I used to do bodyweight exercises and my workouts were mostly HIIT style, but two and a half years ago I discovered the gym. I wanted to get stronger, build muscle and shape my body. Right away I also set myself the goal of competing in bikini fitness. My first season was in autumn 2016, when I took fourth place at the Estonian Championships. I realised this was the sport to dedicate myself to. The gym has become my second home. I enjoy hard workouts. Thanks to my profession, I know how many benefits strength training has. I don't do it only for my appearance, but also to keep my joints and bones strong and healthy and for my overall well-being. A couple of times a week I also give my heart a workout and do aerobic training. Whenever possible, I prefer to do cardio outdoors, in nature.
This year was my second season, and this time I took second place in my height category. It gave me huge motivation to put in even more effort and keep improving. The work towards better shape continues. I like numbers because they are good to analyse. That's why I like to track my daily activity, heart rate during workouts, calories burned and sleep. When you have data to analyse, it's easier to make adjustments when needed to get the best results. An activity tracker is the perfect tool for that!
