November cover model Poppy Ntshongwana shares her tips for achieving anything and the workout that keeps her abs tight.
1. Stay focused
I don’t tell people my goals – some of them are extravagant and I don’t want anyone planting a negative seed.
2. Be humble
I was raised to treat everyone equally. I think being real with people will inevitably help you get ahead.
3. Determination
I aim to be good at everything I do; there are no half measures.
4. Grab every opportunity
I don’t let an opportunity pass me by – I saw a poster on campus that TUKS FM was holding auditions and I went for it
5. Perseverance
I don’t let fear stand in my way. I’m scared of heights, so when I was on holiday in Ibiza recently I cliff jumped into the ocean from 25m. I overcame my fear and by the third jump I really enjoyed it!
How does Poppy keep her abs looking so amazing? We got her to show us her ab workout!
