Blog History:
In Perfect Form was inspired when I started my fitness journey in Oct 2008. I was underweight at 36kg, 10% body fat. I had no idea how to eat well and exercise properly. Then I read up on health and diet. I also got myself a personal trainer to help me gain weight! I also tried high intensity body weight workouts and do they help me shed fat and help me maintain my gains without any equipment. Soon enough, I was addicted to fitness. I am now at a healthy 43kg and guess what! Even though I gained 7kg since then, I have NOT gone up a size from my clothes. Instead, I fill them out nicely and my posture, skin, and mood have never been better!
Then I thought to myself, "Hey! You helped yourself achieve fitness goals all by yourself. Why not share it with other women?" Thus, my blog was born.
Blog Purpose
This blog will provide you the tips and motivation to look toned, lose fat and stay lean and healthy as womanly possible! I will give tips that will cater exercise and diet habits CATERED TO WOMEN as although many many fitness experts out there and many websites give general advice on how exercises for women is the same as men. We, women, have different biological clocks and different types of cancers and illnesses to battle. Women are special. Our bodies are built differently and thus, we need a guide to survive being a woman.
All of us lead busy lives and we keep giving ourselves to family commitments, relationship commitments. It's just so tough to take care of ourselves! BUT, if you don't take care of yourself, how are you going to continue being that Superwoman everyone is relying on?
