Why did you start your Instagram page?

Several years ago, my friend told me about the must-have new platform that allows you to share photos with your followers, and she predicted that soon enough everyone would be using it daily. I liked the idea of sharing my life through photos, so I soon created an Instagram account and started to post my workout routines, as fitness is something I’m naturally interested in.

When I started my Instagram page, the platform wasn’t as active and popular as it is now, so I couldn’t have ever predicted that my follower base would grow so much. I’d never have guessed that I’d be able to use my platform to teach my followers all things fitness related, but I’m grateful that Instagram has provided me with an opportunity to educate and inspire others.

Have you always had an interest in fitness?

My interest in fitness started when I was younger and I used to watch a lot of sports, for example, boxing, wrestling and football. I was always interested in how athletes used their bodies to move and how their strong physical form really enabled them to reach their sporting goals. I began to be more mindful of my own physical form and how I could improve my regime to become fitter and healthier in my daily life, and so a passion for fitness was born!

What’s your best fitness tip?

Consistency is the number one key to everything. There will be days where you feel like quitting, but every single person in the world goes through the same thought process at some point in their lives, whether it’s a hard day at work, or struggling to maintain an exercise routine. The people that don’t quit are the ones that succeed, so always keep pushing yourself to be the very best version of yourself and achieve your goals. As I always say: “Don’t be good, be great!”

Why do you like using the Samsung Galaxy Watch during your workouts?

One of my favourite things about the new 4G Galaxy Watch is that it gives me the freedom to work out without having my phone on me, but I’m still able to check my notifications quickly by glancing at my watch. I regularly practice yoga and now I can avoid getting distracted by not having my phone around.

As well as this, I frequently follow the breathing exercises to help me relax and regulate my heart rate before or after my workout session, and it’s also a great way to unwind in the evenings.

What’s your favourite thing about Samsung wearables?

Aside from its brilliant tracking capabilities, I’m a big fan of the design. I love that it’s so versatile and that it has the capabilities of a fitness tracker, but with a smart look so I can wear it on any occasion – whether it’s at a black-tie event or in the gym.

I also really like that I’m able to easily keep track of my step count. I’ve set myself a personal goal of 20,000 steps per day – so wearing my Galaxy Watch reminds me to always keep on the move so I can hit my target.

If you could offer one piece of advice for those new to fitness, what would it be?

Invest in a personal trainer. They’ll teach you invaluable lessons on how to build muscle, improve your strength and maintain a fitness programme that’s best for you. If you have the correct guidance, you’ll make much more progress than guessing your way around the gym and not knowing how to make the most out of your workouts. You always need someone to push you to your limits and make sure you’re hitting your goals. Once you know what to do and how to work your body in the right way, you can go it alone as you’ll be familiar with the routine, but it does always help to train with someone else for maximum motivation.
