Ain't no mountain high enough - Natalie Filippi

Mountain bike rider Natalie Filippi knew she needed to improve her fitness in order to achieve her racing goals, but gained more than just a slimmer figure and toned physique in the process
Natalie Filippi before & after

About two years ago I fell in love with mountain biking and have been passionately riding ever since. This year, at the age of 40, I decided for the first time in my life to participate in some competitions.

I worked on my fitness and came fifth in our region. I was happy but realised that if I wanted to have that podium finish I so wanted, I was going to have to try a lot harder. Riding with some serious road bikers taught me that I really needed to slim down if I wanted to be better than average.

A great friend of mine, Michelle and I worked out together each week when she introduced me to Jenfit. It is a privately run gym that gets results working in support of BodyBlitz. Michelle was going to do the 12-week challenge and suggested I join her just for the fun of it. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain, and so the challenge was on!

In the last 12 weeks I have lost over 11kg and all my riding friends cannot believe the difference. I am so much stronger and faster and have every intention of coming in the top three this year in any of the competitions I enter. I have achieved an athletic, strong and toned figure and I am so excited about the future.

My husband and three little girls are so proud and supportive of me. I hope that this year I can show them what Mummy can really do.

I have really enjoyed the last 12 weeks and I’m looking forward to the future. Thank you for the inspiration and great program. I hope that I will only be a one-time user, but I know that if needed I can always get results with BodyBlitz!
