Available on ITunes & Spotify Today I spoke with IFBB Bikini Pro @jademckee_ifbbpro who has been based in Melbourne since a week before they went into a lengthy lockdown. Jade left her career as a Physio to work at the science based @cleanhealthfitnessinstitute as a coach at the beginning of the year. She works with a range of clients, from gen pop, right through to comp prep clients & women who are focusing on their fitness goals pre & post natal. Some of the topics covered: 🎙Jade’s competing history- she has impressively competed at 17 shows, with 4 of those Pro shows since becoming a mum. 🎙Where Jade won her pro card. Not too mention it was when they were only giving out 1 Pro card per division, once a year in Australia. 🎙How Jade came back from a serious spinal injury. 🎙Her experience with becoming too food focused during/post comp in the past & how to mitigate the effects in your own prep. 🎙Advice on how to prep the healthy way, with a focus on fuelling your body correctly to prevent muscle breakdown, mindset & not thrashing your body with a tonne of cardio being crucial elements. 🎙How having a great support system can make all the difference to your health and well-being in this sport just to name a few.
