Hello, and welcome to Bodyholic with Di . This is episode number 10. . My name is Di Katz Shachar and I am a public health promoter.

And just before we dive in, I wanna ask you how your training is going. What does it look like right now?
Do you work out in a gym? Do you train with a personal trainer? Do you do group fitness in a studio? Or are you like me? Which means you like to work out hyper-focused in the privacy of your own living room with minimal equipment. So personally, before I started Body Holic, I, I did not even think about what I was going to wear.
It was just all about getting the workout. And training super hard, super focused. So I mean, it was to the point where I was usually in my underwear. Now the only thing that has actually changed is that I'm slightly more clothed, but I do stick very, very closely to my schedule and I waste no extra time in the.
and I have now opened my training up to the public, so it's totally
