Today I speak with IFBB Pro Huong Mai, a dental hygienist and a single mom of two young kids. She recently developed an interest in bikini competition after being under Team Atlas' guidance for lifestyle coaching. She’s always used exercise as an outlet since her husband passed away 7 years ago. This is her first year as a competitor and she’s been loving this journey so far! Although, she recently earned her IFBB pro card, she still feel like an amateur trying to learn about this sport!

 

She hopes her followers (current and future) find inspiration her my journey as a single mom and as a bikini competitor. She wants to eventually help people reach their fitness goals. She wants people to know that whatever journey they may be in to never give up on their dreams and everyone struggles. You don’t want to miss this interview!
