I used to be 86 kg and I am only the length of 1.59m
Thus meaning I was very unhappy with my weight and shape of my body.
As I met this awesome personal trainer whom offered her help to me I was very excited yet so lazy.
I really hated exercising, eating healthy was difficult but not a problem. Elmari came to my house every morning at 04h30…
Please note I am not a morning person but if someone is willing to rock up at my house at that time in the morning I mean I should wake up and get out of bed.
I really hated waking up and eating egg whites and almonds, shakes and exercising the first week, after the first week I realised I made a week so I think I will try this a little longer
I was not the most friendly and positive person she had to deal with yet she was so motivating. She pushed me beyond the place I thought my body could go.
She gave me a healthy eating plan with the words ‘this is for yourself not me , if you eat wrong you will only be affecting your own results’. This pushed me to show myself I can do it.
With all my complaining with every exercise and sore muscles she kept me positive and kept on coming to my house. Today I feel good and look good in clothes and have a lifestyle of eating healthy all because she stuck with me. She asked me what was my goal and I replied ‘I want to look like you’… the reason being for the same length person to look so good in any outfit and eat healthy whilst having a normal life … this had to be my answer. If it was not for her my road to looking good and feeling good as a mom of 2 children would never have started. I am so grateful today , I still get so many compliments from people around me to this day. Thank you Elmari you truly are a one of a kind personal trainer. I know have lost 20 kg and 3 pants sizes the healthy way J
