Biography

From Partying to Fitness

Half-Australian, half-Trinidadian, Tammy Hembrow was born in a family of nine. She was an active child growing up, taking part in extracurricular activities like sports and dance.

However, as she came into her late teens, Tammy started to give in to bad habits. Such as excessive drinking on the weekends, and smoking cigarettes. These activities completely replaced her old ones – sports, and dance. As a result, Tammy started to feel unhealthy.

Fortunately, this period where she excessively drank and smoked didn’t last long. She soon discovered fitness and its benefits – amazed by the feeling she would get after a day of eating well and training hard in the gym.


 


Sharing her Progress with Others

After she saw her body transform, Tammy began documenting her journey on her social media profiles. Although she built up a solid fan base over the months, it wasn’t until 2014 when Tammy became an online sensation.

This sudden increase in popularity was a result of Tammy documenting her pregnancy on social media. Many young women were inspired by her incredible shape. Which she maintained during, and after pregnancy.

Tammy saw the possibilities which her popularity brought – deciding to use social media as her business platform. She also started uploading her ‘day in the life’ videos, giving her fans a closer look into her everyday activities.

Motivation for Women

Strength Training and Cardio

Tammy’s training is a mix of regular weight training and cardio. She works out with weights five times per week, with cardio added onto two, or three, of those days.

Her workout plan focuses on her lower body, especially glutes – she trains them twice per week. Other body parts, such as shoulders, arms, and abs, are only trained once every week.

Nutrition

Mix of Healthy and Pleasurable

Tammy eats balanced and nutritious meals on her training days, with no room for unhealthy foods. However, on the weekends, she might eat a slice of pizza, or cake.

Some of the foods she regularly eats are ground beef, lean turkey breast, egg whites, tomatoes, green leafy vegetables, brown rice, quinoa, tuna, avocado, and walnuts.

Supplements

While Tammy says she prefers getting all of her nutrients from whole foods. She understands that sometimes it’s just not possible, due to traveling, and her everyday responsibilities.

That’s why she regularly takes supplements like a multivitamin, fish oil capsules, and minerals. In addition to this, she might take BCAAs and green tea extract occasionally – to help her with fat loss.
