Amanda Sra Nanta tells us how she amped her health, and body confidence with deadlifts and strength training
Two years ago, Amanda Sura Nanta made the decision to improve her lifestyle in order to manage her asthma problem, which she’d had since she was a child. All she’s aimed for was to reduce the shortness of breath that comes with being an asthmatic. But when she started working out and eating better, she aimed higher, becoming inspired to get even fitter, stronger and more toned.
It all started with Bootcamp “
I was very active in sports during middle school and when I got into a university in Perth, Australia, I was introduced to an even more serious kind of routine, a Bootcamp, which I had very little knowledge about, but really loved. I was very new, and, honestly, it was the first time I heard people using the terms ‘reps’, ‘planks’, or even ‘burpees’! Though I am not really new to running and doing sit ups or push ups, it actually took me a while to finish the routines; I would lose my breath, and my asthma made it worse. That’s when I realised I need to build up my stamina because it’s just not fun to get tired that easily.”
