What age are you?

23

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Chelmsford, however I am currently living and studying in Ipswich.

I hope make your move will allow me to...

Challenge myself both physically and mentally and will help me to be more self motivated as well as having the opportunity to motive and inspire others. I would love to develop a passion for fitness where it no longer becomes a chore but rather an enjoyment.

What is your motivational mantra?

Pain is only temporary but success and accomplishment can last a life time. So often I can be quick to give up and then regret the opportunities that pass. I choose to make the most of every opportunity and challenge and push myself outside of my comfort zone.

Top 3 work out songs?

  1. by – I absolutely love the instrumental introduction to the song. It has such a feel good vibe and I can just imagine myself strutting to the park for a run.
  2. Anything by . I became a bieliber at the end of 2015. I like to do a bit of karaoke as I run around and I know pretty much every word to his recent album... no shame!
  3. Summer anthems are my other favourite workout songs. Just a track that gets me excited for the Summer.

Give us 3 words to describe how you feel about your dance challenge?
