Almost 70 per cent of your fitness battle is won the day you realise what your body needs and when. I've made my own diets, and I decide for myself what works for me.

I believe that fitness needs to come from within you. You need to respect your body. Only then will you have the zeal to maintain it. For me, keeping fit is a part of my lifestyle.

Exercise is like an addiction. Once you're in it, you feel like your body needs it.

Remember this: your body is your slave; it works for you.

At different times in your life, your body needs different things.

The body needs food, warmth and water, but your heart needs more.
