LISA TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF. HOW AND WHEN DID YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY START?
I would say that my love for fitness started when I was at school. I've always been very competitive and since I was a little girl, I've enjoyed taking on personal fitness challenges to see what my body is capable of, whether it be on the sports field or in the gym. At school I was very sporty and when I wasn't in the classroom, I spent most of my time focusing on ballet, gymnastics and athletics where I got my Natal colours for running and I competed at the SA Champs many times for gymnastics. However, when I was younger, it took me a while to figure out where the 'line' was between being healthy, fit and active versus pushing yourself too far. When I was around 15 years old, I felt immense pressure to be at a certain weight for ballet and gymnastics and suffered from an eating disorder. I was banned from competing for a season, and at the time I thought it was punishment, but in fact, it was a huge blessing in disguise. Through my experience, I started to understand that health was way more important than my physical appearance and that I needed to fuel my body with the right nutritious foods to achieve results on the sports field.
