Biography
From Shy to Popular
Born in 1994, Brigitte Goudz struggled with low self-esteem growing up. As a result, she was afraid to speak up and express herself among her peers.
This, however, all changed once she started going to the gym at the age of 18. As her body was slowly transforming from weightlifting, so was her confidence. This is what she said; “This change and the positive self-image I got through bodybuilding motivated me enormously.”
Driven by her new-born passion, Brigitte began posting pictures of her awesome physique on the internet – something she wouldn’t have dreamed about when she was younger.
The decision to post content online saw Brigitte become popular among fitness lovers, giving her the opportunity to grow a career out of her passion. This is exactly what she did for the following three years – by 22, she had become a sponsored athlete and a fitness model, with a promising future in the industry.
“Marry your goals, remain committed to success, and be loyal to your dreams. It’s okay to choose yourself.”
Training
Brigitte makes sure to warm up before each workout by doing a few minutes of cardio. She’ll also add in two or three “full-on” cardio sessions per week if she wants to quickly lose fat. Her preferred method of cardio is running on a treadmill or the Stairmaster.
Her favorite exercises are pull-ups and knee bends, and her favorite body parts are legs and glutes.
Brigitte trains 5 times per week in the gym – her workout plan can be seen below.

Saturday: Break or shoulders, legs, biceps

Beginner Mistakes
When she started training in the gym, Brigitte was making a couple of beginner mistakes. The most detrimental one was not providing her body with enough quality nutrients. Despite her hard efforts in the gym, her body wasn’t growing at the fastest possible rate. However, once she changed her diet, her muscles started to develop more quickly.
Another mistake she mentioned was training too often. According to Brigitte, she wasn’t giving her body enough rest when she just began working out, which ultimately resulted in over-training and slow muscle growth.
“Build for yourself what they all couldn’t, and let them be astonished by your true strength.”
Nutrition
Brigitte is no stranger to counting calories and planning her meals ahead. This is something she does on a regular basis to keep her body from gaining unwanted weight. To make the whole process easier, Brigitte uses an application on her mobile phone which calculates her macronutrient intake.
A strong believer in the saying “you are what you eat”, Brigitte eats clean all year round. This means she doesn’t have your typical off-season diet, but rather sticks to healthy foods at all times.
These are the foods she consumes on a daily basis;
Proteins: eggs, organic chicken, organic beef, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese
Vegetables: lettuce, green beans, tomato, cucumber, spinach, beetroot
Carbohydrates: fruits, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, pumpkin, wholemeal bread
Fats: almonds, peanut butter, olive oil and coconut oil

Idols and Influences
