#12 Helena Sly: WBFF Bikini to Fitness, karate to bodybuilding, adaptive metabolism, scoliosis & spinal fusion, technique over ego, EPIC morning routines

Today’s episode is with the awesome Helena Sly who competed in
her first show in 2019 after being a competitive karate athlete
(black belt 2nd dan) for twelve years. It was so interesting to
hear about how she transitioned from discipline to discipline and
the things she learned along the way. 

What I LOVE about Helena, is how one of the reasons she decided
to prep for a show was so she could better understand the dieting
process in order to help her become a better coach.


We also TOTALLY nerded out together on technique, movement
patterns, and stability gains! OH and also, HABITS! My favourite
;)
