Biography
Fitness Through Gymnastics
Andreea Tina, a Romanian native born in 1984, began her training at the young age of 5. She began with gymnastics, which enabled her to have a robust and healthy body throughout her adult years.
She was forced to stop taking gymnastics lessons when she was 13 because her body had sustained too many wounds, which meant she had to miss school while she healed.
Andreea subsequently went on to sports such as tennis, volleyball, and basketball during her high school years. At the age of 20, Andreea began working out during her time in college. According to her, this “soon became an addiction.”
WBFF Professional Status
Andreea traveled to London from Romania after receiving a Masters’s degree, but she couldn’t let her passion for fitness go.
She kept up her training and research in all things fitness-related. She rapidly discovered she could participate in the renowned WBFF tournament after enrolling in numerous classes and picking up new information along the way.
After months of preparation, Andreea entered the Denmark WBFF Pro tournament in May 2014, where she won first place in her very first performance.
She displayed a fantastic figure that she had worked extremely hard and diligently to develop. Andreea currently works to assist others in developing their amazing physiques.
Individual Trainer
Andreea discovered she could assist others to reach their health and lifestyle objectives by working with several clients at “wellness” retreats after realizing she could do so after achieving her ideal physique. She aspires to promote a positive mental attitude in addition to the cosmetic benefits of training.
Training
Andreea says she dislikes doing a lot of cardio because “it’s simply pure metabolic harm” and she has previous experience with it.
Andreea enjoys HIIT and MetCon (metabolic conditioning) exercises, though. She will also use LISS exercises like long walks and boxing and kickboxing for additional fat burning.
She also emphasizes fasted cardio in her workout regimen, including a 15-minute bodyweight Tabata session in the mornings when she feels rested after getting a good 8–9 hours of sleep the night before.
Andreea prefers to incorporate three key exercises into her routines to help develop a well-balanced physique. which are
- Squats – “Master the technique of a correct squat.”
- GHR (glute ham raise) – “Probably the most underrated exercise, I love it, it hits your entire posterior chain, from gastrocs to hamstrings, glutes and lower back; getting stronger on your GHR will increase your squat, deadlift and clean, make you run faster and jump higher.”
- Pull-ups with all their variations – “The most effective exercise for your upper body. They are fantastic for building strength, endurance, and most importantly, confidence; once you’ve mastered lifting your body weight any other exercise can be done with ease. The quickest way to strengthen and tone your upper body, arms, and abs, love them.” – Andreea Tina
