Today, she is one of the most recognizable fitness models, having developed a popular fitness program in her name. In recent years, Emily has been signed by Khloe Kardashian as a Good American denim model and has also landed the cover of Women’s Health magazine. Emily Skye is an Australian fitness model who has become well-known for her no nonsense approach to dieting, training, and living a healthy life. However, Emily wasn’t always the picture of health she is today when she started her modeling career. She was an insecure teenager suffering from depression and unhealthy living habits. She eventually decided to move away from conventional modeling, and started to focus on health and fitness to improve her quality of life. Emily not only created a healthier life for herself after starting her fitness journey, she also became a successful personal trainer and inspiration to people all over the world through her incredible transformation story. “A lot of people said I couldn’t do it and I proved them wrong. I live & breath health and fitness so being a fitness model suits me perfectly.” Biography Early Years Emily Skye was born on the 7th of January, 1985 in Australia. Her mother raised her single handed as her father left when she was only 2 years old, which caused Emily a lot of insecurities, and with feelings like she was never good enough for anything for many years. As a teenager, she drifted from one thing to another not knowing which direction to take her life, as Emily says, “I was lost”. To counter her insecurities, Emily started modeling to gain a sense a self-worth. For a couple of years as a teenager, she successfully worked for popular magazines in Australia, however, Emily was not the model of health which she portrayed. “I have always been athletic, but I wasn’t always fit & healthy. Before I changed my life to be a more active & healthier one I was depressed, extremely insecure, unhealthy & very unhappy.” Modeling To Fitness With an unhealthy diet, and with little to no exercise in her life, Emily’s health started to deteriorate. Emily enjoyed modeling and the feeling that it gave her, but said it started to become a negative impact on her life as it was only about looking “perfect” everyday rather than feeling healthy. Taking up exercise and moving away from modeling, Emily started her journey into fitness and a healthier approach to life. She says, “I was your typical cardio girl in the gym”, she continues, “but it wasn’t really getting me anywhere”. “I branched into fitness modelling. I entered a cover girl competition for the Australian Oxygen Magazine and made it into the top 5.” It wasn’t until Emily began studying physical training, and became a personal trainer, that she learned about the benefits of strength training. It was from this point where she adopted weight training instead of cardio. This not only shaped Emily’s body, but also her life. Emily’s Life Now Since becoming a fitness modeling icon, and inspiration for people everywhere, Emily continues to work hard to show people how to live the healthiest life possible, both in body, and in mind, through her online personal training business and social media updates. It’s clear to see Emily has defeated her depression and overcome her insecurities through a healthy approach to diet and strength training. “I eat less or no carbs at night, I cut out sugar including fructose, cut back on dairy & keep active throughout the day! If there are stairs I run up them, if I’m working on the computer I get up every hour or so & do some air squats – all these extra little things make a difference! Drinks lots of water, green and white tea.” Training Emily likes to train with a lot of intensity and focus. She’ll also limit the amount of time she takes between sets. Her favorite type of training is tabata, and circuit style training. Just like most professional athletes, Emily likes to switch-up her training routine often, so her body doesn’t get used to the same exercises. A typical workout of Emily’s can be seen below. Emily’s Workout Day 1: Legs (heavy) – “Squats, lunges, leg extension, leg press, leg curls.” Day 2: “Shoulders using dumbbells & the cable machine.” Day 3: “Biceps & Triceps – using dumbbells & cables.” Day 4: “Legs (light) – Usually 10 sets of 20 lunges with a bar on my shoulders & squats against the wall with a ball to support my lower back.” Day 5: “Back – Dead lifts, bent over rows, heaves, lat pull downs, seated row cable machine.” Day 6: “Circuit/sprints/tabata/intervals.” Day 7: “Rest.” #emilyskye #emily #skye #fitness #model #magazine #workout #diet #dietplan'
