“Having muscle is cool, but also having muscle, it kind of stops our range of motion.
“Before, I was able to reach the middle of my back, but now I’m so excited that I can’t do that anymore. I think mobility is very important before you start lifting weights.
Raquel said another key to her success was changing up her workout routine so she doesn’t get bored or discouraged at the gym.
“You can’t do the same thing all year round. Sometimes I do super sets and raise my heart rate a lot, or sometimes I go really heavy with just a few lifts and keep it easy,” she continued.
