Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How your experience and background of many years as a personal trainer and therapist for many years has helped you in carving your present profession of being a fitness model and professional figure competitor?
Ms. Char B:
Being that I have studied in health, nutrition and fitness for almost 12 years now, has definitely helped me with my achievements! From studying raw food nutrition to sports therapy and even boxing coaching, it has all helped with my knowledge to not just teach myself but also help others achieve their goals. The nutrition side in particular is where I’m hot, I like to make it as simple as possible, never obsessing over weight, calories, macros… in fact ideally little counting and more enjoying.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Share your exercise routine that you do to maintain such a bikini perfect physique?
Ms. Char B:
My exercise is not like many others… I do’nt train single body parts.. I do’nt stick to the same routine and I don’t have a particular method. I like to change it, challenge it and adapt it.
I like to spend time on my boxing one day and then on my weights .. unless I am training to compete, I like to keep my exercise varied and more importantly enjoyable!!
Where people go wrong is trying to follow what everyone else is doing.. ‘lift heavy to tone up” or “squat to attain a great butt’… yes that’s part of it, but for me if you don’t do it right, don’t bother in my books. Form is key and so is constantly challenging your body.
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 mainly plant based, little meat products pass my lips, with the added protein shake. One thing I would definitely recommend is the range of Udo Choice. The omega oils are amazing for your beauty regime as well your nutrition intake of health fats. – it has worked wonders for my complexion. The super macrobiotics have also helped with my tummy issues. Training when you suffer from IBS can at times be painful, as any IBS sufferer will tell you. So these have helped to ward of those bad bacteria in my gut, allowing for a happier tummy.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What is your motivation to take a multi-faceted personality of a fitness model, professional bodybuilding competitor, nutritional expert, sports therapist, writer, columnist, personal trainer, mother, TV presenter and spokes model?
Ms. Char B:
I am my own motivation. I do not ever strive to look like anyone else, to be anyone else or to do what anyone else is doing. I have my own goals, in health and fitness. And that’s what keeps me going. I’m proud of myself as are my family. And of course when you bring home trophies. . that obviously inspires the ongoing motivation to better myself!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Char B:
I use a good source of healthy fats such as krill oil by Savant, the Udos Choice Oils, in addition to avocados, my favorite coconut oil, plus I also use Scitec Vitamin C. I also have a few homemade skin remedies in my ibook which actually now out on itunes. Check out at:www.udoschoice.co.uk
