How to get abs and a bikini body, with Hong Kong personal trainer, bodybuilder and bikini model competitor Anita Yiu
- Fitness buff and bikini model competitor shares tips on how to get six-pack abs, tight glutes and a toned physique – and how to maintain them
- For 34-year-old Anita Yiu, looking good is part of a healthy lifestyle which includes regular exercise and eating right. There are no short cuts, she says
When it comes to looking fit, Anita Yiu says it’s not about quick fixes, diet fads or starving yourself, but developing a lifestyle centred on eating healthily, exercising regularly, managing your stress levels and getting adequate sleep.
Yiu, a certified group fitness class trainer, personal trainer and fitness nutrition specialist at ATP Personal Training, also has a master’s degree in business administration.
Before diving into the world of fitness as a profession a few years ago, Yiu spent seven years in the corporate world in strategic management.
