Mum-of-three Laura Beesley, from Stirling, says that the sport helped her deal with the stress of raising her eldest son Logan who suffers from a neuronal migration disorder similar to cerebral palsy.
A bodybuilding mum told how she took up the sport to help deal with the stress of looking after her severely disabled son.
Laura has put her job as a personal trainer on hold while she pursues competitive bodybuilding in Stirling, where she lives, although she does not have a rigid diet during training. She works out for around three hours a day and is working with a coach to improve posing for the competitions. Laura has lost 10kg since she began training weighing 56kg, and has slimmed down to 46kg by introducing a significant calorie deficit. When she started prepping in May she weighed around 54kg.
During that time Laura was a stay-at-home mum and found it quite isolating. The couple met in the 1 Royal Horse Artillery, where Laura was a gunner.
