How has Hannah Adapted to Training from Home?

Hannah has very much continued to train from home, however, in a much more relaxed way to normal, in order to adapt around her role as a Mum.

Unfortunately, Hannah will not be competing again after lockdown, but she has still been focusing on her diet and training as much as possible to retain her fit and healthy lifestyle outside of her participation in various bodybuilding competitions.

Hannah’s Training

Hannah has been undergoing a variety of at-home training but has been quite limited with the equipment that’s available to her.

She’s downloaded an app on her phone that helps her to keep on track with HIIT workouts and bodyweight exercises which she has been doing every day.

When speaking to Hannah, she mentioned that she really misses the social side of going to the gym. She saw this as her ‘me-time’ and didn’t have any interruptions or restrictions like she does when training at home.

Since the equipment is much more varied and advanced, training at the gym was also much easier and more fulfilling, unlike at home where she only has weight bars and dumbbells.

One of her main sources of exercise at the moment is walking as this is something that she’s been able to do with her kids and spend more time with them, too.

Hannah’s lifestyle has very much changed during lockdown and this has given her a different attitude towards competing. She’s decided that she’d much rather spend more of her time with her family and take every day as it comes.

Hannah’s Lockdown Diet

Hannah has always eaten extremely healthy and lockdown certainly hasn’t changed this.

Whilst her diet isn’t as strict as it was when she was competing, she is still maintaining a healthy balance in her diet during the week and having cheat days on the weekend, rather than assigning herself a constant, restrictive diet.

Adjusting from competing in shows to spending all of her time at home has made it difficult to get her old eating habits back. She has been trying to almost retrain her brain so that she realises she doesn’t need a strict diet, but also doesn’t need to binge on unhealthy snacks and foods.

Lockdown has taught Hannah to not be too harsh on herself and she’s pacing herself slowly when it comes to her eating and daily training.

She’s appreciating the little things at the moment and lockdown has really put everything into perspective for her. She’s enjoying spending the extra time with her family and the time out of competing has helped show her who she wants to be.
