Fitness Model Siera Capesius Talks With TheAthleticBuild.com

(Last Updated On: April 14, 2017)

How did you get started in bodybuilding/fitness?

I got into fitness when I was 16 years old. Growing up I had a hard time maintaining weight with a high metabolism and being very active with cheerleading. I started to study the importance of nutrition. That curiosity led me to want to learn more in college where I received my Bachelor Degree in Human Nutrition & Dietetics. I competed in my first bikini competition and the transformation of my body made me want to transform other people’s body and fitness levels. I became a Personal Trainer and now use both my Nutrition and fitness experience to help others.

What kind of cardio do you like best and why?

I like HITT cardio best because I have to focus on speeding up and slowing down again. This type of cardio flies by and is also a great way to break a sweat.

If you could give somebody only one fitness tip what would it be?

My fitness tip is that with any type of fitness goal you are trying to achieve, you must be aware of how many times and what types of foods you are eating. Working out has to be accompanied by the proper nutrition in order to see results.
