You could say Heather Robertson knows a little about the fitness game. She’s an internationally recognized fitness influencer, model, and highly sought after health and wellness coach. Not to mention, she’s got her own website and blog in which she dishes tips for maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle, as well as workout plans and programs. Her laid-back approach aims to switch your mindset to see exercise and healthy living in general, as a reward, not a burden or chore. For this reason, we’re thrilled to have her on board as a Sporteluxe contributor and feature in our fitness citizen profile.
Here, she gives us the scoop on everything from her morning ritual to her guilty pleasure and the best piece of advice she’s ever received.
