How did you get into Fitness: I started my career at 21 years old after finishing my second university degree. I had completed high school at 16 and immediately jumped into university. The long nights of studying, eating on the go, along with juggling working and volunteer work took a toll on me physically. I always felt worn out and struggled with maintaining my energy, critical in the field I’m in. I knew I had to change my lifestyle or I wouldn’t be able to keep up. I incorporated my goal of a healthy and physical lifestyle right into my life goals – if I could accomplish other goals in my life, I had no excuse not to accomplish this one! I started going to the gym and began researching journals and other articles on healthy eating and training. Expanding my knowledge on how to improve myself continues today. I added competing as a personal challenge for myself.

ALLMAX Nutrition Supplements Used:
I actually have been using ALLMAX ISOFLEX protein shakes for almost 4 years after extensive research and endless trial-and-error with other supplements. I can honestly say that the quality of the products show in my physique and this is a protein shake brand that my trainer/nutritionist will allow in my diet because of its quality. The composition of the protein shakes is exactly what I need, and the awesome flavors (especially the chocolate and chocolate peanut butter) make them a “treat”. With a demanding career, part-time work, and training, ALLMAX products are reliable and convenient - the shakes mix very easily and the bars are extremely satisfying. ALLMAX products are definitely real products for real people!
