Priscilla Aqilla: How This Sultry Fitness Model Overcame Inhibitions

U Priscilla Aqilla didn’t always have the body of her dreams. Her peers in high school even made fun of the girl for having “too big butt.”

Needless to say, these taunts hurt our heroine’s self-confidence. However, fortunately, she had a sister who showed Pricilla an example and brought her to the gym.

“When I was a teenager, I remember feeling like I was always left out and alone. Because of my poor eating habits, I was a little bigger than other girls, especially when it came to my lower body. I still remember the stares and name-calling in the hallways and in class. It took a huge toll on my self-esteem and to say I was heartbroken is an understatement.”

Through years of hard work, Priscilla Aqilla has gone through a difficult journey from an insecure teenage girl with a fat bottom to a top fitness model with an amazing physique, inspiring fans around the world.

“It’s a long and difficult process to achieve your goals, but those days when you just want to give up are the most important. These days you are growing above yourself!”

Biography

Transformation at school

In high school, Pricilla’s life looked completely different than it does today. She was slightly overweight and because of this, she was teased by other girls and boys at school. “I was always teased for my large thighs. It was very unpleasant,” says Priscilla Aqilla.

To lose weight, the girl signed up for the volleyball section and, on the advice of her sister, who also played sports, at the same time began attending a local gym.

Pricilla trained her lower body a lot, wanting to lose excess weight in the hips and buttocks. I did a lot of squats, lunges and deadlifts. But most importantly, I started eating right. The result was not long in coming, and Pricilla’s body began to change. She lost all her thigh fat and began to see well-defined quads and glutes that other people admired.

Her curvy and toned legs are now a source of pride and she flaunts them in public with complete confidence.

Pricilla uses a mixture of strength training and cardio in her program to achieve results. This includes not only exercises like squats or burpees, but also countless hours on the treadmill and running outside to keep your body fat levels low.

Nutrition

In addition to consistently working out at the gym every day, Pricilla also spends a lot of time planning, preparing and tracking her diet.

She likes to eat carbohydrates at the beginning of the day and before workouts. This fuels her muscles with the glycogen needed for energy.

On the other hand, she eats most of her protein and fat later in the day and in the evening. This provides a slow release of nutrients throughout the night to continually fuel her muscles while she sleeps.

Some of the foods that Pricilla can eat include:

• Egg whites and oatmeal with almond milk for breakfast
• Chicken, sweet potatoes and mixed vegetables for lunch
• Whitefish, rice, peas for dinner
• Low-fat protein-flavored cottage cheese, once or twice daily as a snack

According to Pricilla, her transformation would not have been possible without the support of her friends, family, coach and fans. She is grateful to everyone who supported her on the path to success. Her fans inspire her to raise the bar higher and higher every year so that she, in turn, can set a good example for them.

“There is a powerful driving force within every person that, when unleashed, can make any vision, dream or desire come true.”

What we can learn from Pricilla is that sometimes in life you will face negativity or criticism from others. Instead of letting it get you down, why not use it as fuel to become stronger and achieve your goals? In Pricilla’s own words:

“I just want you to know: never let someone’s words or actions stop you from achieving your goals. Better yet, use these words to support your reasoning about your goals.” – Priscilla Aqilla
