From Ballet to Bodybuilding

Insights of my journey as I share how my passion for movement has shaped my life both inside and outside the gym!

I'm excited to share my journey with you, from dancing ballet to lifting weights. It's been a ride, filled with sweat, determination, strong mindset, and some gains.

From the start:

Imagine A 3 year-old, in a tutu skirt 🎀🩰, ready to become the best ballerina. For thirteen years, I danced almost every day, from local shows to big competitions like the Maccabia opening show. Ballet taught me discipline, Consistency, dedication, hard work, and the joy of pushing myself to be my best.

Eventually, I tranform to something a little heavier — barbells.

Kickboxing, spinning, and pilates became my new way of life, each workout pushing me to get stronger, faster, better. And there's nothing like the feeling of crushing a tough workout and seeing the muscles grow.

fueling my body

Of course, being an athlete isn't just about what you do in the gym — it's also about what you put into your body. That's where nutrition comes in. I became a pro at meal prep, making sure I was fueling my body with the good stuff to keep me going strong.

Now, after fifteen years of hitting the gym hard

it's become my second home. But what I love most about this journey isn't just the physical changes — it's the mental ones. I've learned about dedication, consistency, and never giving up, skills that have served me both in and out of the gym, and will stay with me for life.

And as I look ahead to the future

I know that the lessons I've learned from my athletic journey will continue to guide me, whether I'm lifting weights or writing code. It's all about pushing yourself to be the best you can be, in every aspect of life, staying consistent, pushing harder, being patient, and enjoing the proccess.
