Image
Her childhood sprinting career was cut short by a heart disease and Asthma but Dorathy Olali says, she's been inspired by testimonies of how fitness had helped others overcome certain health issues. Dorathy Olali was sharing her inspiration to joining the fitness game, so far it's been a worthwhile journey and her dream of “looking twenty five at the age of sixty five” is on track.  Dorathy Olali is a student geologist at the university of port harcourt. She is also a fitness trainer who has worked with some companies and at various events. I sat with her last week to discuss her journey, her routines and about women in the industry.  Dorathy’s Workout Routine Dorathy works out at mornings from 6am to about 9am.

We Don't Workout For Fun

Image
I saw a post from Sarah on Facebook about a sport clothing line her friend had just launched.  I quickly contacted Sarah indicating my interest to model for the line. Sarah was eager to hook me up, she said “after all nobody works out for fun”.  I had no idea Sarah knew I was working out but that statement got me confused because at the time, I was doing it all for fun.  I still workout for fun but for most people workout is no fun. At seventeen, I had began my fitness journey taking a cue from seventeen year old Tony, who was an aspiring model at the time. I had one goal then, “to have killer abs like Tony”.  At the age of 21, I was an aspiring model, I was a little ripped with a cute face to compliment but unfortunately, not enough height to win the mark.

I wasn't going to lose all my admirers so

An amazing thing about the pull up is that it could be done anywhere an even bar can be found; at home, work, the gym or playground. What's more amazing is that it is the ultimate body designer. Yes, "It would design your body” , according to a fellow gym enthusiast. Some have called it “my secret”. I do believe it is my secret. It would get the entire back muscles,biceps and triceps in shape depending on how you choose to pull. A lady looking to burn underarm fat can turn to the pull up too.  Unfortunately, you don't find most people (including those who have attained a good level of fitness) pulling up. It's a challenging exercise for beginners and pros get exhausted in no time. By doing this exercise, you are essentially lifting your entire body off the ground against the gravitational pull. Some even go as far as adding disc weights to increase the total weight lifted. The pull up is one of the basic trainings required in strength development for calisthenics.  Chr
