Many women avoid lifting weights and opt for <\/span>cardio<\/span><\/span><\/a> to transform their bodies. Still, countless women have had natural bodybuilding transformations where <\/span>weightlifting<\/span><\/a><\/span> was a key component of their transformation. Professional <\/span>Natural Bodybuilding<\/span><\/a><\/span> Association (PNBA) bikini pro Angelica is one of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Angelica recently shared her 6-year bikini natural bodybuilding transformation on Instagram. She stated (translated from Italian to English):<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe real change happens when<\/span><\/p>\n we accept our imperfection.<\/span><\/p>\n Only then, by recognizing it, can we begin to strengthen our weaknesses,<\/span><\/p>\n fortify them and thus make them armor.<\/span><\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t mean eliminating them: more<\/span><\/p>\n it simply means protecting them.<\/span><\/p>\n And we protect them with our strength, whose real job is to support frailty.<\/span><\/p>\n An eternally incurable fragility, but which, if supported, does not break, it resists.<\/span><\/p>\n Like us, who no matter how fragile we are, by training, we learn not to give up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You can see her complete transformation below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Angelica represented Italy at the World Championships.
