Women’s Health announced that former Miss SA and TV personality Melinda Bam will be its March cover star.
After spending three gruelling months getting into kick-ass shape for the eighth season of Tropika Island of Treasure, Melinda says she’s stronger and fitter than ever.
According to Women’s Health Magazine, Melinda weighs more now than she did when she won Miss SA. “I weighed five kilos lighter than I weigh now, but I feel strong and healthy…I can pick things up and run and squat and throw things and climb things and I can carry my own body weight,” she says
Melinda trained six days a week for three months. And while she was already cardio fit, she changed up her routine to get ready TIOT8.
Weight training and swimming became part of her routine for the first time ever. “I thought heavy weights were a girl’s arch-enemy, but it ended up being my best friend!” she says
