Namita Nayyar:
Define Women Fitness for our viewers.
Tammy Hembrow:
I feel like that’s a really broad area so I will define what it means to me. When I first started going to the gym I began with cardio and yoga, I think this says a lot about how I portrayed female vs male workouts and exercises. I think even today men are portrayed in the fitness industry as the ones who lift heavy or ‘real’ weights. Most recently there is a trend of seeing more women in the media lifting heavy, showing their strength and using weights to get fit instead of focussing on just cardio. Through showing my personal journey with weights and sharing my experiences I have helped create an online community that supports a woman’s strength and ability to do whatever she sets her mind to.
Namita Nayyar:
You recently spoke about having sleep issues. How are you dealing with it?
Tammy Hembrow:
I think my recent sleep issues have been a result of time differences and jetlag. I have to do a lot of travel for work and because I don’t like to leave my kids I often leave and come straight back so my body doesn’t have time to adjust. I know that I had to try something different so my last trip I extended it and brought the kids with me. I’m still trying to find the balance I need so I can get the work I need done and still be there for my children as my number one priority but look after myself also. I have also found that meditation and yoga have helped a lot with relaxation and learning to switch off.
