1) How did you get started with weight training?

I started when I was 19 years old. I wanted to get fit so I wouldn’t be out of breath during my performances. There’s nothing worse than seeing a performer trying to speak, but can’t because they are puffed. Once I started I began to realise how I could use fitness and strength to my advantage in my performances. I haven’t looked back since.

2) Where does your motivation come from?

Its simple for me. The fitter I am the safer I will be. My stunts and escapes are truly dangerous and I must be in the best shape possible to pull them off. Plus feeling great is rewarding.

3) What kind of workout routine has worked best for you?

I’ve tried all different types of routines over the years and have altered the variables to find the perfect fit. I find that a 4 day split, 3 sets for each muscle at 8 to 10 reps works best.

This is an interview post with Ashy Bines and Grant Lofthouse

Today I have a special guest for you all the way from Queensland, Australia, Ashy Bines who is the creator of the Clean Eating Diet plan.

Let’s get straight into…

How did you get started with weight training?

I’ve always been active, danced since I was 5 and when my parents couldn’t afford for me to dance any more I decided to join my local gym as they had a weekly special on.

I did a few pump classes and loved it, started watching other personal trainers and how they trained people and watched hours and hours of you tube clips to teach myself.

I then met my partner who had been a personal trainer for 6 years and he taught me the way around a gym including correct form and the best training techniques to burn fat and gain lean muscle mass to get that lean toned bikini body I’ve always wanted.

1) How did you get started with weight training?

I started when I was 18 years old. I was so tired of being skinny and getting picked on so I joined the local Golds Gym, had no idea how to lift or what I was doing…. But, was determined to become healthy and fit.

2) Where does your motivation come from?

In all honesty my main motivation is myself. You have to want success and you have to motivate yourself to be successful. But, i find other avenues of motivation from many aspects of my life. I am motivated by the support I have from my fiance. I am motivated by my friends and fans who are constantly encouraging me to always better myself. I am motivated by those less fortunate than me, working just as hard to reach their fitness goals. Motivation is everywhere…. sometimes you just have to open your eyes to really appreciate it.

As you can see Lauren Waugh is incredible shape. She has also been featured in Playboy. Put both together and you’ve got my interest any day of the week.

I had to find out what she does to stay in shape for her modelling and promotional gigs. Since previously being involved in the modelling industry I know how competitive and how hard you have to work to stay on top of your game.

I hope you enjoy the interview…

1) How did you get started with training?

I’ve always enjoyed keeping in shape but probably in high school was really when I got into it. I would work out before school and after school and I started running a lot.
