She managed to find a new meaning of life in it.

Ana Delia de Iturrondo was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Already from childhood she was involved in swimming and gymnastics. Her father was a rather strict man and suffered from bipolar disorder. The girl often had to endure domestic quarrels between parents, the stress greatly affected her psyche. And then there was an irreparable loss in her life. But it was sports that helped her to get out of the difficult condition. Now Ana Delia is a famous fitness model with almost half a million followers on Instagram. We tell you what the secret of her success is.

How did practicing sports change Ana Delia’s life?

Sports allowed Delia to distract herself from domestic problems, as well as to endure the death of her father from cancer. According to Ana, he died in her arms, because of which she fell into a deep depression. The girl even stopped going to the gym.

After a while, Ana was accepted into the modeling agency Next in Miami. She flew there and stayed with relatives. But after two weeks she learned about the death of her brother in a motorcycle accident. Back in Puerto Rico, the blogger once again plunged into deep worries and depressing feelings. According to Delia, she didn’t have the strength to move on with her life. She gained weight and did not even want to leave the house, so as not to get in such a form in front of friends.

Ana was pulled out of her difficult situation by her family and friends. “With the help and love of my family, friends and God, little by little I began to regain my strength. I remember I was crying one day and still couldn’t speak and they were showing fitness divas on TV. I watched and thought how much I wanted to be like them,” the girl said in an interview.

But at that moment she had no desire to have a beautiful physique. Most of all, the blogger wanted to get out of the terrible state and return to normal life, to find the meaning of further existence. Ana gradually began to go to the gym, and then began to spend more and more time on training. Later, the girl won the second place in the NPC Bikini contest. She began to combine modeling and fitness in the gym. According to the girl, bodybuilding changed her life and gave her new goals.

Motivation is in the new goals

Today, 40-year-old Ana Delia continues to set various goals for herself and finds motivation in it. “My motivation comes from wanting to achieve goals and see how far I can go beyond my limits. My motivation also comes from my family as they are the reason I breathe. One of my goals is to always be able to help them,” admitted the fitness model.

Ana often shares her own experiences, thoughts and workouts with her Instagram followers. This also gives her an additional reason to develop further. According to the blogger, the opportunity to change someone’s life for the better makes her a happy person.

In the gym, the fitness model prefers circuit training, specifically compound exercises, triple set and giant set. In addition, she likes to do drop sets for different muscle groups. Such workouts are quite intense and do not require a lot of time.

Ana believes that people build their own future. And only they can choose the direction in which they want to move and develop. Delia advises subscribers not to let circumstances dictate their conditions, and encourages people to make wise decisions.
