Q&A with Nino about the series

Are you still motivated even though the season schedule is unknown and the Olympics are postponed?

Nino: It’s indeed devastating. However, as an athlete, I’m familiar with adapting to unforeseen things. It’s just like in a race getting a flat. You then have the choice of giving up or continue and make the best out of it. With the situation now, I’ll go ahead positively with all I have.

What are some simple changes people can make to their gym workout to see a big improvement?

Nino: The simple change is to get started. And now is the perfect time for that. The good thing about gym workouts is you will feel an improvement in a very short time, which is motivating to continue and stay on it.
