Natural Hair Girls Who LIFT Newsletter Feature: Tiffany Lee @TheRealTiffLee
When did you start your fitness journey or started training?
2001, my first year in college
Favorite module of training?
Weights and cycling classes!
What are the most rewarding things you've achieved since your journey?
Competing as a Powerlifter and placing in my weight class as well as being one of the only full figure cycling instructors to have a packed class at every gym/studio where I have taught classes. It’s been such a privilege to show other curvy women that you can still be confident and do any workout no matter your size.
What lesson(s) have you learned this past year?
To be kind to myself and go after my goals and dreams like my life depends on it!
How does lift heavy make you feel?
Lifting heavy makes me feel like a total badass. I actually feel the most confident and sexy after a super intense leg day! It’s the best feeling to know and feel what my body can do despite having Lupus and it being a size 2!
Advice to others...
I just want to let everyone out there know that being fit and healthy is not a one size fits all game. Different thing work for different people and at different stages in their life. Before I was diagnosed with Lupus on 2009 weight loss wasn’t extremely difficult if I just cut back some portions and went to the gym. Now in 2021 avoiding grains is what works best for me! Be kind to yourself and don’t be ashamed of having to change course along your journey. And of course....LIFT HEAVY!
