26 year old Angela said that the way she felt after a good workout is what kept her inspired during her 12-week Challenge. That and her boyfriend Ian, who Angela says was ‘a perfect and dedicated training partner’. 

Angela came over  to the UK in 2004 from South Africa, ‘The exchange rate was bad and I didn’t have a lot of money. Junk food here is quite cheap compared to healthy foods. Also I was socialising quite a lot and having late nights and drinking so my life wasn’t too healthy in general’ says Angela.

Both Angela and Ian decided to take up the challenge to get to grips with their health and fitness.  ‘We knew things were getting out of hand when our clothes were getting tight and we felt uncomfortable and also couldn’t get into trousers. We felt terrible in our clothes so we decided ‘enough is enough’.’ 

Angela reduced her body-fat from 31.1% to 23.5%. ‘My life has changed 100%! Before Body for LIFE I had little self esteem or confidence in my abilities and lacked motivation and direction in my life.’ Says Angela ‘Now, physically I feel fantastic inside and out, in control of my future and positive about where I am heading.”
