Char B exceptionally talented and highly accomplished model, personal trainer, a therapist, columnist and media personality is in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
As a mother of one beautiful daughter, taking a career in modeling and as a bikini competitor can be quite challenging. Kindly tells us how you handled such a challenging situation in your life?
Ms. Char B:
My daughter and I regularly have trips away to spend quality time together and I had always wanted to experience entering a show.. We decided to take a trip away for a weekend to attend a show and found the experience lots of fun. The modeling and the competing together does take up a lot of time, so when the time came, it was my daughter who I took along with me for the final experience.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You once said that you have a 13 year old daughter Tia and you believe in bringing her up in a healthy, fun, exciting and active lifestyle. Kindly elaborate on this aspect of parenting?
Ms. Char B:
Tia and I both enjoy fitness and good food. I bought Tia up in my world of trying lots of different foods and exploring their origins as well as taking up different fitness activities. Tia has now been having tennis lessons for the last couple of years, as she found this to be her passion. We are planning trips to Wimbledon in the future now!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Share your exercise routine that you do to maintain such a bikini perfect physique?
Ms. Char B:
My routine basically involves a split routine of heavy weight sessions (always concentrating more on my lower body). I split my weight routines with my cardio during my times of competition. I tend to include boxing sessions and barefoot running into my cardio, which also helps to keeps everything varied.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What is your diet? Do you take a particular fixed regulated diet comprising of nutrients and vitamins to keep you in perfect health?
Ms. Char B:
My diet is clean and healthy as you can probably imagine when it comes to competing, however when I’m “off season” it’s moderation and substitution. I eat a varied diet consisting of my own recipes and eating plans.
Substitution and moderation is what I live by as part if my lifestyle. I don’t tend to like the word “diet” as I see it as a healthy way of life. I will still eat a juicy steak with a glass of red wine when I’m out socializing and if I want some ice-cream, I will eat it! One “bad” meal won’t make you fat – just like one clean meal won’t make you the kilos drop off!
