Bikini Fitness as a sport

Why did you choose Bikini Fitness?

I have a long background in gymnastics. In gymnastics, I was used to a certain kind of discipline. Unfortunately, I had to leave my beloved sport due to an injury. Later, I wanted to find a new "hobby" and got to know Fitness. The sport had the same discipline, performance, creativity and hard training that I was used to in gymnastics. Fitness and especially Bikini Fitness has always felt like my own!

Recovering from everyday life

How do you make sure you recover from busy lifestyle?

I have many different ways to recover in the midst of my busy everyday life, but the most important thing is to stop to breathe and let my body and mind rest. Going outside with the dog, yoga, sauna and watching interesting series help me to recover. However, sleeping and a long night's sleep are the most important thing in terms of recovery!

Social Media

Does Social Media give you pressure abour performance or appearance, for example?

I want social media to be a place for inspiration and good vibes. Some has never given me appearance pressure or other pressures from my own life. Comparing yourself to others is the worst thing you can do to yourself. If you notice that social media affects you negatively, you should reduce your use of Instagram, for example, or consider whether you are following the right kind of accounts.

The goals of Pernilla

What kind of future goals do you have?

I have always been a big dreamer and I always strive to make my dreams come true. At the moment, I dream of a healthy, sporty and pleasant life. I hope I can do this job for a long time and in sports I want to reach the top!
