Australian Fitness Model Shannah Baker Interview.


How did you get started with bodybuilding?

 I remember sitting on the couch in late October 2013 and watching the Olympia Bikini Contest.

 I thought to myself, “I want to look like that!” So I made it my goal to achieve a fit and shredded physique and I haven’t looked back since!

 Where does your motivation come from?

 Motivation comes from within, knowing I can better myself with every new day.

 I seek motivation from my top inspirations on social media or I will look back at competition photos!

 What workout routine has worked best for you?

 If you had to pick only 3 exercises, what would they be and why?

 Kettle Bell Swings: I love kettle bell swings for many reasons being: they burn a heap of calories and fat, they work your lower back, hamstrings and glutes. They can also help to tone the upper back and shoulders too! This exercise pretty much hits everything!
Sumo Squats: For great legs and a toned booty! Targets your glutes, inner and outer thighs without putting too much stress on your lower back!
Shoulder Press: Because it works several muscles of the upper body and has benefits that can actually help improve daily functioning.
