This week I'm highlighting Nicole Hamilton (@this_mom_lifts), she's a resides in Toronto, Canada. Nicole is a mom, wife and a dynamic powerlifter!

​

When did you start your fitness journey or started training?

5 years ago, but have been powerlifting since January.

​

Favorite module of training?

Powerlifting

​

What are the most rewarding things you've achieved since your journey?

Realizing how important my health is and that as a mother I was prioritizing everyone else's health above my own.

​

What lesson(s) have you learned this past year?

Powerlifting has focused my training so that I am lifting with the goal of getting as strong as possible. I am lifting more now than I ever thought I could and at 36 years old, mom of 4, I am the strongest I have ever been in my life.

​

How does lift heavy makes you feel?

Lifting heavy has made me embrace my body, mind and strength. I think it gave me the boldness and confidence to wear my natural hair short and start putting myself first so I can be a better mother, wife, and entrepreneur. I feel beautiful and strong.
