Toll on training
As a personal trainer her body is an ad for her health and fitness empire, but Michelle Bridges says it’s not what it was. The trainer says lack of sleep since giving birth in December, and juggling the commitments of her fitness empire have cost her workout time.
AS a personal trainer her body is an advert for her multimillion-dollar health and fitness empire, but Michelle Bridges says “it’s nowhere near what it was’’. The Biggest Loser trainer says lack of sleep since giving birth to her first child Axel in December and juggling the commitments of running her fitness empire have cost her crucial workout time.
“I’m doing well and I’m really happy, but fitness-wise my body’s not what it was, nowhere near, but I’m beginning to feel good again and I’m exercising again,’’ she said.
“You spend nine months being pregnant and you need at least another nine to get back on your feet.
The 42-year-old is fronting Personal Better Day next Saturday at Sydney’s Rhodes park as part of 5km runs held at 125 venues around the country.
Personal Better Day is a national initiative to encourage Australians to set their own personal best.
Bridges is keen to encourage mothers to get active again. She hopes to persuade 25,000 Australians to take part in a park run next week.
