Miss Anna Wood - The Interview

-


She has beautiful hair, whether on stage, at gym or meeting her for coffee… there is no way you cannot feel the energy from this lady….. 

The one and only Miss Anna Wood.


You can see the passion she has for life with her infectious smile and bright eyes. She has this energetic, passionate love for life and fitness, and her latest passion is cross fit.  

Sometimes you look at magazine covers, you admire the person on the covers and totally adore them… then you meet them and they are not what you thought and you are either disappointed or happier for meeting them. I was ecstatic!!!!  

I met Anna at the gym, where else would you find such a fitness lover? 

Then she had a workshop for ladies wanting to compete, at first I was not sure if I could attend and I was a bit short on cash, but I went thank goodness!
And I loved every minute of the seminar and it changed my life! I found many new goals and a passion for the fitness and competing industry!

Anna has this amazing energy and spirit!You cannot help but want to join her for bootcamp!

10 Keys to Happiness as a Freelancer or work bitch

-
It simply dawned on me now sitting at The Common Room ... as a freelancer we can be seen as the whores of work places. The only difference being we do not get paid for any sexual favours, but we do get paid to do a job using the talents and skill sets we have. In my mind, that means make me your work bitch, I will work for you but no strings attached. I will satisfy you in ways no one else can because I love what I do and that is what makes me great! I am a personal trainer, yoga teacher and an image consultant, so people pay for me, my time and services I offer. You are either reading this as a freelancer wanting advice, or you are playing with the idea of being a freelancer. Either way, you are looking for what we all crave; Freedom. As William Wallace in the movie Braveheart said " Your heart is free... have the courage to follow it."

Fitness Females are friendly and supportive!

Good Morning … What a beautiful #FitnessFriday this is going to be! Totally kicked ass at the gym, loved it… Until I had one more exercise to do… This is what happened: A happy friendly Maylene: “Hi, could you please tell me how many sets you have left? Or if I can use the machine in between your sets?” Chick on the machine, gets off and replies, loudly and quite rudely: “Why can you use an other machine, I am very busy and now you want to disturb my workout, there are other machines in the gym!” Ahem… if there was another machine I would use it. AND PEOPLE SAY FITNESS CHICKS WHO COMPETE ARE BITCHY AND THINK A LOT OF THEMSELVES???? Every female I have met who loves fitness have been kind, caring, understanding and supportive of each other. Even if we all step on stage together, we are friendly. When we compete, the other girls support from the audience side. WHY? Because: We are confident and comfortable in our skin. We have all been through our own journey and...

Fitness Magazine Cover Model Search 2015 - Post 1

-
Lately I have been addicted to watching America's next Top Model (ANTP) I have come to the conclusion that, each of the applicant for the USN Face of Fitness should also star in a 10 episode programme. Where we tell our story, and we are coached by various professionals in the industry and then the best female wins. However this is only for the cover but I am taking ideas from Tyra Banks.   This year i am entering the USN Face of Fitness Competition.  Over the next few weeks I will be sharing my story and giving reasons as to why I believe i would make an amazing and inspiring Fitness Model. More importantly why i would be a great ambassador for USN as well as Fitness magazine.  First Letter for Fitness: .... F....  Fun.... Fit ... Fabulous... Fighter ... Freedom   I was glued to the television when Miss South Africa or Miss Universe was on.  I always wanted to enter Miss Tinkerbell, but never had the opportunity. I wanted to be a beauty...
