HEY! THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY PAGE!
My name is Camila Lyra and here follows the most important things you need to know about me: I am a mother of two, who works, who loves studying... and I am passionate about health and fitness, my goal is to help people feel good at their best version and learn to love yourself as you are!
I know that you are also here to find out how I got into the fitness world ... and I must say that this has always been present in my life, since I was a child.
Since I was young, I participated in several sports: swimming, volleyball, handball, but my greatest passion was when I started in the martial arts. I always had a lot of support from my parents, so I grew up on a mat, practicing Karate-Do.
And I can say, it was the best choice of my life as a child! I learned a lot about dedication, determination, sacrifices and choices. I always did my best to be the best I could be.
Today I am very proud to say that I'm a black belt, because that was the goal I set at the age of 9, and I did not rest until I succeeded, it was my first major internal achievement!
And so I grew up, participating in several karate championships for many years, at the same time that I had an incredible childhood immersed in the sea, and on the beach! Like a true Brazilian Northeastern! I'm passionate about the ocean and everything that involves this life! Oh! And if I say that as a child I rode my bicycle more than 10 hours a day, do you believe? Yeah! This is me! Lol....
I was always very active but I had never stepped into a gym. How did this happen in my life?
After becoming a mother! I got pregnant at the age of 20 from my first child, and 8 months after his birth was when I felt the need to change !! In December 2010 I signed up for a gym near my home, and so I was going to train at the end of the night, after a long day divided between responsibilities of home, son and University! And my journey began! I know it's not easy when you become a mother! But I also assure you that it is not impossible!
As time went by, my physical changes were very noticeable, and many people encouraged me to face bodybuilding. And why not? So in 2012 I received an invitation from a Coach to join his team. And the following year I had been invited to participate in the first Arnold Classic Brasil in Rio de Janeiro in 2013. In 2014 I was winning the title of Overall in Las Vegas - USA .... And since then I have not stopped, in 2018 I performed a dream to be among the best on stage at Mr Olympia and Arnold Classic Ohio.In 2019 I decided to get pregnant again, and I was away from competition for 5 years, so in 2023 I returned and won the biggest title in the Amateur League, becoming the 2023 Joe Weider's Olympia Figure Overall Champion and thus winning the PRO CARD. I can say that I just fell in love with the sport, with the change in the human body, with the way we managed to dominate and control our mind! It is a truly incredible world!
And all of these my greatest achievements, my resignations, my sacrifices, happened after being a mom! That's where I got my best strength, because GIVING UP was never an option for me!
HOW I CAN HELP YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR FITNESS GOALS
Physical activity in general can be a form of therapy for anyone, just as it was for me. In all these years in the fitness world, I developed many different training routines, with different methods so that I could always keep my motivation. Because for you to be able to maintain this routine, you need to feel encouraged, motivated and take pleasure in what you are doing.
My goal is to guide you and help you in this process, of how to discover yourself, feel good about yourself, reach ideal levels of health and fitness through food and exercise, maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
I know very well what it is like to exercise on a busy schedule, a busy day, so I use my best experiences to be able to adapt a healthy diet and elaborate exercises to your lifestyle. I went through this and so can you!
I believe that you can achieve your goals if you make a commitment and make it a habit! That's the secret!
Remember that nothing good leaves a comfort zone; therefore, the challenge is to get out of your comfort zone to achieve great things.
Being healthy and being fit should not be just a phase of your life, the truth is that this is a life change, a choice of a new, better and happier lifestyle!
I leave here for you my greatest passions in life:
My love for fitness and health! My determination to help others achieve their goals and become a better, happier and stronger version of themselves!
With love, Camila.
