It's all about sacrifice and fitness, say KZN bodybuilders: 'It is not necessary to have a good body. It is good to exercise to prolong one's life and live a better quality life,' said Charles Holzhausen, 73, one of the competitors. .
Shannon Lehmann, centre, at the International Federation of Bodybuilding Fitness KwaZulu-Natal Provincials 2022 in Durban on Saturday.“Not everyone understands how hard it is to compete as women. They don’t have much respect for us, they just see ladies in their ‘bikinis’.”
“Those who want to pursue this career ought to seek a good coach to guide and support them to reach their goals,” said Lehmann. “I hope to do more to make my family proud. There are a lot of sacrifices that people do not realise when you do sports like this. You put aside your social gatherings and your daily routine suddenly changes, which affects your personal life,” she said.
“This is a good structure to have in any type of life. You spend most of your time at the gym. This sport helps one to shy away from over-indulgence or being a slave of drugs or substance abuse, for instance.Charles Holzhausen, 73, one of the silver medal recipients for Master BB over 40, said: “I would like to inspire younger people to come forward in the sport.”
