Amy Watkinson – Bodybuilding

Bio

As a young girl I was always very active. I danced from a young age and I had my own horses which I competed for many years with some success in dressage, showing and cross country. I was also very into running , I did the Manchester marathon 5 years ago ( will never do another one ) haha. However decided my passion was in strength training, I started lifting weights seriously about 5 years ago when I also became a personal trainer.

I decided last year I needed a challenge, and thought I’d take the plunge and start competing. I have found it physically and mentally tough especially towards the end of prep, you have to make a lot of sacrifices and it’s not for everyone. But I love to see how far I can push my body, and what I am capable of and I’m extremely proud of how far I have come as a person over the last 12 months.
