Icing on the cake
Ashia Hansen reveals her temptations
There's plenty to smile about despite the sacrifices


Ashia Hansen reveals all to the Sport Academy


Many people worry so much about what they eat and drink.

I do agree that you have to be careful.

But my belief is to do things in moderation.

I have a drink every so often, but there is another little temptation that I can't seem to resist.

And that's cream cakes. A bit naughty I know, but it's really not that often.

Cream cakes are high on the list of Ashia's bad habits
Ooohh Naughty but nice

I usually get my bad habits out of the way during the off season when I go on holiday.

This is where I tend to let my hair down.

I am prone to piling on the pounds, so I do have to keep an eye on my weight.

When my training gets going ahead of the new season I will lose weight so it's not a major problem.

Making these sacrifices is just part of being an athlete.

It is a downside but it's worth it in the end.
