MANY mums struggle to find time for a quick gym sessions in between work, the school run and dinner time.
But these Perth mothers have done more than that — they’re in the midst of a gruelling 12-week training schedule ahead of Perth’s first all-female national body building event.
The Ms Fitness Australia competition on June 3, to be hosted by the Australasian Natural Bodybuilding Federation, will attract toned women from throughout the country.
Among them will be Natasha Lovell, 37, of Bunbury, Layna Bartlett, 42, of Rockingham, and Krystal Woolsten, 33, of North Beach, who never imagined themselves standing on stage in bikinis a few years ago, but say the sport turned their lives around.
Now she enjoys a new lease on life, being a strong role model, in every sense of the word, for her daughters Lucy, 7, and Matilda, 10.
“I had been going through a bit of a rough time in life — a messy marriage breakup, and I wasn’t in a good place physically and mentally,” Ms Lovell said.
“This has been like a saviour for me. It’s helped me out so much physically and emotionally, the training being like therapy for me.”
As a single mum, Ms Lovell squeezes in her training sessions every day in between full-time work at a childcare centre and looking after her daughters.
Ms Bartlett described herself as being active when she was younger, but then neglected her health and fitness in her 20s.
