<h2 style="text-align: center;">O que fez você começar a se exercitar e fitness? Você sempre viveu uma vida saudável?</h2>
<p>Comecei a me exercitar aos 16 anos, ao contrário da maioria das pessoas, o meu objetivo era ganhar peso, pois sempre fui muuuuito magra! Iniciei pelas aulas de ginástica localizada e jump! Aos 18 anos descobri a musculação, que hoje é minha paixão e aí sim tive ótimos resultados, quando comecei a treinar de forma mais focada e a cuidar da alimentação.</p>
<p><a href="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-6.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-YDcCrHhy" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10763" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-6.jpg" alt="FitNish.com Interview With Brazilian Fitness Enthusiast, Taty Balduino" width="900" height="1200" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-6.jpg 900w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-6-225x300.jpg 225w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-6-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-6-600x800.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Como você consegue se manter motivado e consistente em toda a sua formação e comer?</h2>
<p>Realmente essa é a parte mais difícil! Desde muito jovem eu levo a minha vida seguindo o lema: “um dia de cada vez”. Quando passei por momentos difíceis na adolescência, quando estudava pra concurso… em qualquer projeto pessoal, percebi que olhar o “hoje” faz toda a diferença!!</p>
<blockquote><p>Procuro planejar, organizar e executar a meta diária, de agora, dia após dia!! Cada dia concluído conforme o planejado te dá fôlego e motivação pro dia seguinte!</p></blockquote>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Algumas dicas para as meninas que querem se transformar e construir um físico como você</h2>
<p>Compartilho no meu instagram e no snapchat (taty_balduino) diariamente nosso lema e hashtag: #umdiadecadavezcomaTaty!! O segredo do sucesso de qualquer projeto é sempre tentar lutar contra a ansiedade, que pode botar tudo a perder!!</p>
<blockquote><p>É preocupar-se com HOJE, amanhã é outra história!! Fazendo o seu melhor a cada dia, sempre olhando e valorizando o que já foi conquistado, ao invés de preocupar-se com o que ainda falta!!</p></blockquote>
<p>Muito importante também estabelecer metas alcançáveis a curto prazo: ao invés de dizer “preciso perder 10 kg”, que tal pensar: “vou treinar e comer certo todos os dias dessa semana&#8230;” fazendo o que tem que ser feito, o resultado virá!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">É difícil equilibrar vida social e da vida familiar com a formação e comer direito?</h2>
<p>É um pouco complicado, temos que aprender a dizer “não”. Sempre estaremos rodeados de “tentações” em festas, almoços de família, eventos… e ter em mente que isso é algo que nós escolhemos, não enxergar como uma punição!</p>
<p>Sou totalmente a favor do equilíbrio, e em momentos de exceção vale muito a pena comer algo fora da dieta, tomar um vinho.</p>
<blockquote><p>Importante ter em mente que após atingirmos o nosso objetivo, na fase de manutenção você pode se permitir alguns “prazeres”, não significa que você vai ter que comer frango e salada o resto da vida!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty3.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-YDcCrHhy" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10767" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty3.jpg" alt="FitNish.com Interview With Brazilian Fitness Enthusiast, Taty Balduino" width="678" height="598" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty3.jpg 678w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty3-300x265.jpg 300w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty3-600x529.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Quais são seus planos futuros?</h2>
<p>Pretendo continuar levando esse estilo de vida e compartilhando tudo nas redes sociais, como faço atualmente. Pretendo ser mãe em breve e ter uma gravidez saudável e ativa!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dê-nos uma breve descrição de sua filosofia em sua dieta:</h2>
<p>Sigo os planos alimentares prescritos pelo Health Coach Roberto Bueno (@Coachbueno no instagram) e a base da minha alimentação são legumes, vegetais, proteínas magras, frutas (com moderação) e carboidratos complexos.</p>
<p><a href="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-4.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-YDcCrHhy" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10761" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-4.jpg" alt="FitNish.com Interview With Brazilian Fitness Enthusiast, Taty Balduino" width="960" height="1200" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-4.jpg 960w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-4-240x300.jpg 240w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-4-819x1024.jpg 819w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-4-600x750.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Quais são as suas dicas de nutrição superior para manter magra?</h2>
<blockquote><p>A minha principal dica é a constância e persistência, comendo certinho, comida de verdade, dia após dia!</p></blockquote>
<p>Não vale a pena entrar em um “projeto verão” com data para acabar! Nosso corpo é reflexo dos nossos hábitos, da nossa rotina! Do que fazemos dia após dia.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Você pesar todos os seus alimentos e rastrear os números quando se trata de calorias de tudo o que você come? Você acha que isso é necessário?</h2>
<p>Eu peso toda a minha comida há pelo menos uns 10 anos! Acho totalmente necessário! As medidas genéricas, por exemplo: “uma colher”, variam de pessoa pra pessoa. No final das contas você pode estar comendo metade ou o dobro do que o profissional que te acompanha indicou!</p>
<p>Nas minhas fases de secar (reduzir o % de gordura) e de ganho de massa magra, consumo praticamente os mesmos alimentos, o que muda é apenas a quantidade. Ta aí a importância de pesar e fazer tudo certinho!</p>
<blockquote><p>Quanto maior sua dedicação, melhor serão os resultados!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty2.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-YDcCrHhy" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10766" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty2.jpg" alt="FitNish.com Interview With Brazilian Fitness Enthusiast, Taty Balduino" width="938" height="597" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty2.jpg 938w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty2-300x191.jpg 300w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty2-600x382.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Quais são alguns erros comuns que as mulheres fazem quando se trata de alimentação saudável e comer para perder gordura, na sua opinião?</h2>
<p>Um erro muito comum é consumir “alimentos fits” ou frutas indiscriminadamente. As pessoas pensam que se for diet, light, “pode”. E não é assim, esses “saudáveis”, assim como as frutas, possuem carboidratos e devem ser consumidos com moderação!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Quais os suplementos que você mais gosta de usar? O que você pode recomendar para iniciantes?</h2>
<p>Faço uso de suplementos há mais de 10 anos, amo! Eles aceleram meus resultados e melhoram a minha performance na academia!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Meus preferidos são:</p>
<blockquote><p>Fat burner para dar uma acelerada no metabolismo, glutamina, hmb (ou bcaa) e whey protein.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-2.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-YDcCrHhy" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10759" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-2.jpg" alt="FitNish.com Interview With Brazilian Fitness Enthusiast, Taty Balduino" width="960" height="1200" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-2.jpg 960w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-2-600x750.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dê-nos uma breve descrição de sua filosofia sobre a sua formação e, em média, quanto tempo você treino para e quantas vezes por semana?</h2>
<p>Já treinei de várias formas, variando a frequência, a intensidade, a depender da fase que estava vivendo.</p>
<blockquote><p>Um exemplo, quando estudava pra concurso, treinava todos os dias (domingo a domingo) de 40 minutos a 1 hora, no máximo, pois não tinha tanto tempo disponível.</p></blockquote>
<p>Hoje que já sou estável na minha profissão, ainda não tenho filhos, tenho mais tempo, então treino todos os dias, em média 40 minutos de musculação e 40 minutos de cardio todos os dias. Mas claro que respeito o meu corpo e descanso no dia que ele “pede”.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Que outros tipos de treinamento que você gosta? Você fazer muito cardio com a sua formação?</h2>
<p>Gosto muito de fazer cardio, principalmente escada e spinning! Tenho uma bicicleta de spinning na minha casa e isso me ajuda muito! Posso fazer o meu exercício do dia a qualquer momento, sem me preocupar com horário da academia.</p>
<p><a href="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty1.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-YDcCrHhy" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10764" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty1.jpg" alt="FitNish.com Interview With Brazilian Fitness Enthusiast, Taty Balduino" width="772" height="595" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty1.jpg 772w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty1-300x231.jpg 300w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/taty1-600x462.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Quais são os seus 3 exercícios favoritos e porque?</h2>
<p>Gosto muito de agachamento livre, avanço e leg press, na minha opinião os três exercícios que me ajudaram a construir pernas e glúteos fortes! Não sou adepta de exercícios com caneleira, por exemplo.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Qual é sua parte favorita do corpo de vocês? E qual parte do corpo de vocês levou mais tempo para desenvolver, através da formação?</h2>
<p>A parte que eu mais gosto são minhas pernas, eu era uma criança muito magra, com as pernas fininhas, então hoje amo ter volume nos membros inferiores.</p>
<blockquote><p>A parte que levou mais tempo para ser construída foi meu abdômen, que só surgiram os gominhos depois de anos de treino e após seguir uma dieta muito restrita, pra abaixar o percentual de gordura e perder a “capa “ de gordura que escondia minha definição muscular.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-3.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-YDcCrHhy" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10760" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-3.jpg" alt="FitNish.com Interview With Brazilian Fitness Enthusiast, Taty Balduino" width="960" height="1200" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-3.jpg 960w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-3-240x300.jpg 240w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-3-819x1024.jpg 819w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/foto-3-600x750.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Quais são seus exercícios favoritos da perna e glúteos? Quantas vezes você treiná-los?</h2>
<p>Costumo treinar pernas 3 vezes na semana, opto sempre por exercícios completos, que pegam vários grupos musculares, como agachamento livre, avanço e leg press.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Quais são seus segredos para o seu abs bonita? Que tipo de exercícios que você faz para eles?</h2>
<p>Faço abdominais 3 vezes por semana!</p>
<p>Exercícios simples, sem usar muito peso. Mas hoje eu sei que o abs se constrói na cozinha! Não adianta ter um abs bem trabalhado se ele está “escondido” por uma camada de gordura!</p>
<blockquote><p>Ao reduzir o % de gordura a definição aparece.</p></blockquote>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Como você mede o seu progresso? E quantas vezes?</h2>
<p>Mando fotos para o meu Coach (Coach Bueno) a cada 15 dias para avaliarmos minha evolução!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Favoritos modelos de fitness feminino?</h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Citações Favorita:</h2>
<blockquote><p>“Vamos viver e fazer nosso melhor hoje, um dia de cada vez.” <span style="color: #000000;">Repita todos os dias!</span></p>
<p>“Você não decide seu futuro! Você decide seus hábitos, e seus hábitos decidem seu futuro.”</p>
<p>“Sonhos são gratuitos, transformá-los em realidade tem um preço.”</p></blockquote>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Qual é a pergunta mais comum que você se perguntou por pessoas e meninas?</h2>
<blockquote><p>Uma pergunta frequente é como consigo me alimentar bem e treinar todos os dias com uma vida corrida, cuidando de casa, marido, tendo que trabalhar 8 horas por dia como a maioria das pessoas.</p></blockquote>
<p>Digo que a chave é organização e planejamento! Tenho um calendário-cronograma e nele “planejo” minha semana, meus horários. Assim eu já sei a hora que vou sair de casa, quais marmitas vou levar (nunca saio sem levar a próxima refeição comigo).</p>
<p>O segredo pra passar em concurso, pra atingir uma meta de emagrecimento ou pra qualquer outra coisa é esse: planejar, programar e o principal, executar! Seguindo o plano mesmo naqueles dias que estamos cansados, desanimados.</p>
<blockquote><p>“A disciplina é a ponte entre as metas e a realização.”</p></blockquote>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Qual é a única coisa que você vê que as pessoas fazem no ginásio, que realmente te incomoda?</h2>
<p>Sempre digo pras pessoas: nós saímos de casa, trocamos de roupa, abrimos mão de fazer outra coisa, então não há motivo pra fazer corpo mole na academia! É chegar lá e entregar o seu melhor treino!</p>
<p>Claro que depois de um dia cheio no trabalho nosso rendimento cai um pouco, mas é dar o seu melhor dentro das possibilidades. Voltar pra casa com a sensação de dever cumprido e trabalho bem feito! Não basta ir pra academia!</p>
<blockquote><p>O que dita seus resultados é o que você faz enquanto está na academia! Ir e ficar conversando, ficar no celular atrapalha o treino! O descanso entre as séries deve ser respeitado, o treino deve sair o mais intenso possível (dentro do limite de cada um).</p></blockquote>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Você digitou quaisquer competições de fitness antes? Quais?</h2>
<p>Nunca competi e não penso no momento. Sou apenas uma apaixonada pelo mundo fitness e saudável!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Onde as pessoas podem entrar em contato com você?</h2>
<p>As pessoas podem me encontrar todo dia no instagram e no snapchat, com palavras de apoio, mostrando minha alimentação, meus suplementos, tudo que eu faço! Podem também me mandar e-mail. Amo falar com todos e propagar essa cultura de bem e estar e qualidade de vida!</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">How did you get into this lifestyle and into competing at such a young age?</h2>
<p>I have always loved my sports throughout school, and once leaving school it was difficult to continue, so I decided to start at the gym to carry on staying healthy. From there I knew gym was going to be one of my passions so I continued to pursue it and get into the industry and decided to step on stage for the first time in 2012 at Body Beautiful, with the help of Lauren Leigh Porter, founder of <a title="Be fit 4 life on facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/BeFit4Life.BBSA?ref=profile" target="_blank">be fit 4 life</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3375" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-02.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 02" width="600" height="550" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-02.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-02-300x275.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What do you love about it?</h2>
<p>EVERYTHING! From sweating and pushing through the hard work at gym and all the dedication of dieting too.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The feeling you get when climbing onto a stage is indescribable, it doesn&#8217;t matter where you get placed, at least you know that you gave it your all, and you went as far as to stand on that stage and reach your goals.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>To see results of your body changing every day is such great motivation too.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Tell us a bit about your golfing achievements:</h2>
<p>I started playing golf at the age of 12, and this was the sport I thought would be my career. I played for the Gauteng central golf foundation, was in a golf academy, and played league  for my home club Royal JHB Kensington. I got my handicap down to a 7 and was going to go overseas and play golf for UCLA.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3411" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-01-quote.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 01-quote" width="600" height="902" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-01-quote.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-01-quote-199x300.jpg 199w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What do you think are some of the biggest mistakes or myths  that many girls fall prey to when starting out in the gym?</h2>
<p>I actually love this question, many girls think that the “weights section” is for the boys, and by lifting a weight you are going to look like a massive man! <strong>This is not true!!</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;By lifting weights you are helping yourself to achieve a healthy toned body.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Many girls only want to do cardio.. And more cardio.. And many young girls think that eating 1 salad a day, and doing cardio will make them skinny; yes it will, but not <strong>healthy skinny</strong>! You will only damage yourself in the long run.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What  competitions have you competed in and you’re placings?<b style="font-size: 1.17em; line-height: 19px;"> </b></h2>
<blockquote><p>2012</p></blockquote>
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Body Beautiful SA | Beach Bikini | 6th (out of +- 20 girls)</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>2013</p></blockquote>
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>IFBB Millennium Gold Plate | Beach Bikini | 1<sup>st</sup></li>

<li>Miss SA Xtreme | u21 Beach Bikini | 5th</li>
<li>TTT classic |  Beach Bikini | 2<sup>nd</sup></li>
</ul>
<p>As of next year I will be prepping to go to the fitness bikini division. New goals as of next year.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3379" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-06.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 06" width="600" height="550" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-06.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-06-300x275.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Have you encountered any setbacks in your life which forced you to change the way you did things and how did you overcome them?</h2>
<p>This is one of the hardest questions that I could possibly answer, but yes I have had a major setback in my life. In March 2011 my boyfriend of 2 years passed away, which was one of the most painful experiences anyone could possibly encounter, losing a loved one is world shattering and no pain in my opinion is worse than that.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have walked a road that some wont in their entire life, full of heart ache and hurt. After this it took a lot of time to heal and recover, as many people are very nasty in this world and are quick to blame others. Yet I picked myself up. I chose to get back up and make it a life worth living and not to regret a single day that goes by.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It was a lesson in life that I learnt, <strong>cherish everything in your life to the fullest because you never know when it’s your last to say goodbye.</strong> This has only made me a stronger person in everything that I do and I have grown to see many things in a different point of view.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What are your future plans?</h2>
<p>My main goal for the next few years is to be on an international stage. This is my dream and I <em>will</em> reach it, even if it means that I must try over and over, I will push harder and harder to achieve it and to receive my pro card. Career wise, I would love to start my own business by helping girls reach their goals and dreams in the fitness industry.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I love helping others where I can, to see a smile on others faces is the best gift you can receive.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3381" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-08.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 08" width="600" height="985" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-08.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-08-182x300.jpg 182w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Take us through an average day of yours:</h2>
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li>As soon as I wake up, I take a shower and make some breakfast because without my oats and egg whites I would not be able to function.</li>
<li>I then get ready for varsity, and attend my lectures and eat, and between lectures I will go do some abs and 5min cardio</li>
<li>Then eat again, then return to lectures.</li>
<li>At about 2pm every day I then go home, eat again and make my food for the following day, do assignments and study and eat some more.</li>
<li>Then at about 6 pm I go to gym and do my weight training where I do 1 muscle group a day.</li>
<li>After training I eat my supper and shower and get ready for the next day,  to repeat again.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Give us a brief description of your diet pre contest and off season:</h2>
<p>My diet doesn&#8217;t really change when I’m prepping for a show and off season.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;With my <strong>off season</strong> I just eat a lot more carbs such as pasta and rye bread, and 1 week before a show I stop eating carbs at 12 pm and drink more water in that week.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>My diet looks something like this:</p></blockquote>
<h4>1. Breakfast:</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li> 4 scrambled egg whites, oats and a fruit</li>
</ul>
<h4>2. Snack:</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Half a hand of almonds and pineapple or half an avocado</li>
</ul>
<h4>3. Lunch:</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Chicken salad and rice cakes</li>
</ul>
<h4>4. Snack:</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Lean biltong or dry wors</li>
</ul>
<h4>5. Supper:</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Chicken schnitzel, broccoli and sweet potato</li>
</ul>
<h4>6. Snack:</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Fat free plain yoghurt or protein shake</li>
</ul>
<p>On Saturdays is my &#8216;cheat meal day&#8217; and every Wednesday is &#8216;wine gums Wednesday&#8217; so I will eat 1 roll of wine gums throughout the day.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3372" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-010.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 010" width="600" height="1207" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-010.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-010-149x300.jpg 149w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-010-509x1024.jpg 509w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Whats you’re favourite cheat meal?</h2>
<p>My healthy favourite cheat meal is definitely sushi, and my unhealthy favourite cheat meal is a chicken mayo pizza.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">How do you manage to balance everything in your life?</h2>
<p>Everything is well balanced when it comes to studying and training as I don’t work at the moment, so its easy to study and train whenever I like.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;But, with socializing its difficult, as most of my friends want to go out drinking and partying, and I don’t enjoy doing that anymore I would rather be in a gym.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>So through the last year I have lost a few friends but have also gained a lot more through the fitness industry.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3378" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-05.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 05" width="600" height="900" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-05.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-05-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Do you believe in using supplements? Which supplements are most crucial to you?</h2>
<p>I do believe in using supplements, as most of them only help your body recover.</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li>I use my Nutritech Protein shake especially after my work out, with my glutamine</li>
<li>I normally use a pre work out before I train to give me more focus and energy</li>
<li>I take bcaas</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Give us a brief description of your training and on average how long do you work out for?</h2>
<p>I train 1 body part a day during the days of the week.</p>
<h4>1. Monday</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Legs</li>
</ul>
<h4>2. Tuesday</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Chest and abs</li>
</ul>
<h4>3. Wednesday</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Arms and calves</li>
</ul>
<h4>4. Thursday</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Shoulders and abs</li>
</ul>
<h4>5. Friday</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Back and glutes</li>
</ul>
<h4>6. Saturday</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Circuit</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3377" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-04.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 04" width="600" height="949" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-04.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-04-189x300.jpg 189w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>Depending on what day of the week it is on a Monday to Wednesday training takes me about 1 and a half hours because the gym is SO BUSY! But from Thursday &#8211; Saturday it will take me about 1 hour.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">How do you measure your progress? and how often?</h2>
<p>I used to measure my progress weekly at the beginning of the year, but I don’t do it so often anymore. I do an assessment with Catabolic before competition day and I just look at pictures to see if I have improved, or where I need to improve.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Which cardio in your opinion is better for fat loss; HIIT or long slow steady cardio?</h2>
<p>In my opinion HIIT is a lot better, because u keep your heart rate up. I don’t do any cardio really, only 5 minutes a day.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I believe that doing weight training with super sets is just as good as cardio. I really do not like cardio at all, when I get told to do some cardio I want to cry! I would rather do abs while watching paint dry =) haha&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3409" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-03-quote.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 03-quote" width="600" height="902" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-03-quote.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-03-quote-199x300.jpg 199w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">How do you stay motivated to keep on training and sticking to a clean diet?</h2>
<p>I love what I do and love training, and I know I have goals to reach. This keeps me motivated and when I see results from my clean eating, it just motivates me even more to push harder. I have recently gotten 2 sponsors on board with me <a title="Vibram Five Fingers" href="http://www.theoriginalminimalistshoes.co.za/" target="_blank">Vibram Five Fingers</a> and Shred’d clothing!! THE BEST SPONSORS EVER! I have an awesome pair of pink Vibrams that I train in, which helps me a lot more with legs now as I am targeting new areas of muscle, and I train in my Shred’d clothing which is awesome for girls. It is so comfortable. Having these sponsors keeps me motivated as well, as I try to help them as much as I can as they are helping me. Check them out on Facebook or on Twitter:</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">

</ul>
<p>I have recently been chosen to join &#8216;THE KING BODIES&#8217; which is a competing team that in my opinion is going to change the way people look at South African Fitness. So I have a lot of things that keep me motivated =)</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What are your three favourite exercises?</h2>
<ol>
<li>
<h4>Hyper extensions (You feel the burn straight away)</h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Bicep curls</h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Squats</h4>
</li>
</ol>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Fitness models or body builders?</h2>
<p>I like the male fitness models more than the body builders, BUT don’t get me wrong I respect the body builders as they put in a lot of time and effort to get those bodies that they have worked for, the same for the fitness models.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Favourite female fitness icons?</h2>
<p>Locally it would be Ashleigh Frost, Michelle Van Rooyen and Cat Rademeyer. Internationally would be Andreia Brazier.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Favourite quote?</h2>
<blockquote><p>“Don’t compare yourself to others, your best competition is the one in the mirror”</p></blockquote>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3410" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-09-quote.jpg" alt="Christy Griffiths 09-quote" width="600" height="793" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-09-quote.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Christy-Griffiths-09-quote-226x300.jpg 226w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Advice for all the young girls wanting to enter the fitness industry and compete?</h2>
<p>The biggest mistake a lot of people do when starting in this industry is that they listen to a whole bunch of people. What I have learnt is that you should only listen to one person and stick with that one person. If any girls want to start out I would highly recommend contacting Cat Rademeyer from <a title="Catabolic CC" href="http://catabolic.co.za/index.html" target="_blank">Catabolic</a>, she only designs healthy diets that don’t put her athletes at any risk.</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Email: <a href="mailto:cat@catabolic.co.za">cat[at]catabolic.co.za</a></li>
</ul>
<p>For supplements I highly recommend going to <a title="Body King Nutrition on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/BodyKingNutrition" target="_blank">Body King Nutrition</a> in Centurion. They always have great specials and their pricing is great.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">How long have you been training consistently for and have you always lived a fit and healthy lifestyle?</h2>
<p>I have been weight training for 6 years, but never really did the &#8216;healthy part.&#8217;  I started to add the &#8216;healthy part&#8217; when I started my first competition preparation 3 years ago, and that then, was what made a huge difference!!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2083" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-01.jpg" alt="Lizelle Horn 01" width="600" height="900" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-01.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-01-200x300.jpg 200w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-01-250x375.jpg 250w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-01-153x230.jpg 153w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What do you love about it?</h2>
<p>Being healthy makes me feel good on every level of my life.  It also gives me self confidence and keeps me disciplined.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What competitions have you competed in and your placing’s?</h2>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2086" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-04.jpg" alt="Lizelle Horn 04" width="600" height="550" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-04.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-04-300x275.jpg 300w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-04-250x230.jpg 250w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Tell us a bit about your experience competing internationally in Poland, and the standard of the competition there?</h2>
<p>I was very honored to represent my country and it was definitely an experience that I will never forget, and also a good learning curve.  Competing against very passionate world-class athletes was quite an amazing experience.  What amazed me even more was the different cultures and nationalities all having their own ways of reaching the same goals.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2080" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-09.jpg" alt="Lizelle Horn 09" width="600" height="903" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-09.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-09-199x300.jpg 199w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-09-250x376.jpg 250w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-09-152x230.jpg 152w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Your advice for someone wanting to start competing?</h2>
<p>First be specific in terms of what your goals are.  Which division you want to compete in, as each division requires different nutrition and training.  Then set your goal and work towards it!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Secondly, nutrition is most important and is the main role player and the biggest part in your overall success.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Get to know your body and only take advice from someone you can trust, that also knows you and has first hand experience – “been there, done that”.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2088" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-06.jpg" alt="Lizelle Horn 06" width="600" height="1000" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-06.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-06-180x300.jpg 180w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-06-250x416.jpg 250w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-06-138x230.jpg 138w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What are your future plans?</h2>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;To learn more; knowledge is power, and you can never have enough, because we learn something new everyday.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I am starting a course in nutrition and supplementation soon and I&#8217;m looking forward to that.  I am also competing again this year, and would like to do another International competition as well.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2078" src="http://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-07.jpg" alt="Lizelle Horn 07" width="600" height="900" srcset="https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-07.jpg 600w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-07-200x300.jpg 200w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-07-250x375.jpg 250w, https://fitnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Lizelle-Horn-07-153x230.jpg 153w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
