She wrote ‘And on Saturdays we drink! 45 minutes back & shoulders today .. here are a few of my exercises’.

“Remember, lifting weights doesn’t mean you have to get big. For us ladies, we would have to lift an incredible weight and eat a lot of food to build up and gain weight.”

“I lift because it strengthens my upper body, core, and physical fitness.” In turn, that creates that ‘slim’ not ‘bulky’ effect. And it releases those happy hormones that put a spring in my step!’

Addition: “All helping with my lifts on Dancing On Ice where upper body strength is key to supporting each other.”
