For me its all about challenging myself, I just love being out of my comfort zone. I have always loved to train and push myself both mentally and physically. Once I started to see results I was hooked.

I love HIIT style training, even with weights. When I workout, I tend to do everything in supersets, tri-sets or circuit format as I find this works best for me. I personally incorporate a lot of fight conditioning, including boxing and MMA drills.

I'd say I eat healthy 70-80% of the time, unless I've got something I want to be lean for like a holiday or event. I am really strict with what I eat during these times as I want to look my best, but you have to remember it's all down to preference. The main fundamentals that I will always stick to is to drink plenty of water and reducing my sugar intake. My daily go to is diced turkey (seasoned obviously) with brown, green beans and avocado. I have hot pepper sauce on almost everything but if I'm out and about it's Nandos or Wagamama’s for me.

If you want something bad enough you’ll find the time and make it happen regardless of what it takes. Some days if I’m overly busy I might only get 20-30 minutes of intense training in but I ensure I get it in! Often I’ll do a Friday or Saturday night abs session on the floor at home with my 4 year old daughter. It's just down to being dedicated enough to reaching your goals and making the most out of your time. Remember doing something is better than doing nothing at all.

BADR Sport! It's a Manchester based streetwear and fitness brand inspired by combat sport athletes. The range is current and fresh. I love it - worth checking them out!

How can I trim down body fat and stay/get toned? My answer is always the same, start with the basics. Create a calorie deficit, by no more than 500 kcals, drink 3 litres of water a day, cut out sugars, exercise regularly and be patient. This is probably the most important part, you need to stick with it and remember it will come, it just takes times!

Follow the fundamentals in the question above. Find an enjoyable form of fitness, if you enjoy it that’s half the battle. Take ownership! You’re doing this for you, so do whatever it takes.
