Thanks for listening to another episode of The Women’s Fittest Podcast! This is episode #136 with IFBB Pro Kira Neuman and her client/friend and first time bikini competitor Kelly Thompson. Kelly is a married 44 year old mother, cheer coach, and model who decided to begin a weight training journey in January of 2021 which lad her down the competition path. So grateful to Kelly for sharing her  journey with Kira bringing her to stage which took 5 days a week of personal training for over a year and a half through a bulk and a cut. Kelly killed it but more importantly has goals to continue competing and lifting. It’s never too late!
