Her journey is marked by determination, self-discipline, and a commitment to pushing past limits. Whether she’s setting personal records or encouraging others, Pao leads by example and embraces the power of progress. Recently, she shared her thoughts on Instagram, writing, “Dare to dream that you are more than the sum of your current circumstances. Expect the best. You will be astonished at the results 💥 💫” Here’s how Pao stays committed to her health and fitness.
1. She’s proud
She’s proud of herself. “P.R.O.U.D. 💫One of the hardest challenges I’ve had to face in my life, physically, mentally, and most importantly emotionally… No words can describe what I felt minutes later after crossing the finish line. It’s a feeling and a memory I’ll take with me forever ❤️🔥A bird’s confidence doesn’t come from the branch it’s perched on but from the strength of its own wings to fly,” she said on Instagram.
2. She’s focused on her growth
On pictures of her working out, she shared a quote about focusing on your own journey and personal growth, rather than what others are doing. “Don’t compare your INSIDE with everyone else’s OUTSIDE. - Dr. Robert Waldinger 📸: @fernando_yazbek #davidafitness #davida,” she said on Instagram.
3. She puts in the effort
She knows that it’s important to continue putting in the effort to achieve her goals, even when it can be hard. On photos of her on Instagram looking strong and healthy, she said “falling down is a part of life.. getting back up is living ✨.”
4. She's motivated
She lets even little wins motivate her. “We all need small sparks, small accomplishments in our lives to fuel the big ones. The engine in a rocket ship does not fire without a small spark first 🚀May this week be full of small sparks ⚡️📸: @saraineschew_cf #life #fullfilledlife #sparkyourday #selflove,” she said on Instagram.
5. She builds strength
She pushes herself to build her strength mentally and physically. On a slideshow of photos of her lifting weights, she said “push your limits 💥give life to your body and empower your mind 🧠with over 12 years of experience, welcome to Da Vida Fitness: where coaching meets lifestyle.” According to the Mayo Clinic, “as you incorporate strength training exercises into your fitness routine, you may notice improvement in your strength over time. As your muscle mass increases, you'll likely be able to lift weight more easily and for longer periods of time. If you keep it up, you can continue to increase your strength, even if you're not in shape when you begin.”
