info_outlineOn this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by Manika Singh, who at the start of the year joined RNT after seeing her 3 siblings go through this journey and experience life-changing results.
Manika shares a raw account of how after two pregnancies she was at an all-time high of 80 kilos feeling low on energy, not her best, and wanting to make massive changes. With the help of her siblings, she made some initial lifestyle changes... and then joined RNT in January this year and recently completed a photo shoot at 50 kilos.
In this episode, she shares the 3 exact systems she’s using to build a sustainable lifestyle solution despite working 12 hours a day, raising two kids, and juggling all the realities of modern day life. She also shares some of the habits she didn’t realize she was doing on a daily basis until she joined RNT.
This is a really insightful account of the transformation that happens when you go on this journey.
