Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined by Karishma Sharma from Delhi, a high ranking fitness athlete and marathon runner who also works as an executive in the corporate world. Karishma’s got an interesting story to share, and what really strikes me is her ability to balance a demanding career in the corporate world, with pushing her body to the limits in two drastically different disciplines – physique building and marathon running. She only started her proper training in her early 30s, and has gone on to win multiple titles in the physique competitive arena all over Asia at the highest level. Karishma’s a truly athlete and is the real professional when it comes to living the lifestyle, and being an example to those around her. Hope you enjoy this one! ‘’We can’t control a lot that happens in our lives, but I can control my health’’ Timestamps: 1:30 – Back injuries 3:11 – Some of Karishma’s best lifts 4:43 – How long she’s been training for 6:01 – What got her into training? 10:21 – Taking control 12:30 – Who is Karishma Sharma? 15:38 – Transitioning from running to bodybuilding 18:40 – Competing in the Arnold classic 19:44 – Mindset during shows 23:16 – How does she balance her corporate job and competing 29:31 – Social pressures 34:26 – Motivational speakers 36:39 – Karishma’s core values 37:48 – Struggled she’s faced 39:52 – Tips to build muscle for women 47:06 – Karishma’s next challenge? 50:35 – Rapid fire questions Thanks so much for listening!
