Hellda Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Back in February, Hellda's infinitely less cool alter ego, Nikki, joined her local roller derby team. Nikki was slow, overweight and unfit and sick of being so. And so the Legend of Hellda began...(geddit?) In a nutshell, that's why I'm here. I'm Nikki, aka Hellda and I don't always talk in the third person. I'm an incredibly busy mum of 3 young children - E is 4 and A and C are 2 - they're identical twins, although A had a stroke in utero and has hemiplegic cerebral palsy, married to D and have a massive black labrador called Oscar. I'm a student midwife and I LOVE my job. I play roller derby, and D owns a wrestling promotion so I help out with that. I'm also involved with the local American Flag Football team. I took my first tentative steps into powerlifting on Saturday and I'm hooked. Ultimately I want to be fitter, faster and stronger for derby. I want a leaner body and being unashamedly shallow, I want to be able to buy smaller sized clothes. Currently I'm 160cm, about 67kg and wear a UK size 12 clothing, I'm not sure I have a goal weight, but I'd like to be able to fit comfortably into a UK 10 with no muffin top! Maybe an 8, we'll see how it goes! Anyways, that's enough from me just now. I'm off to have a look around! 5 Quote Also found on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatnikkidoes/ Link to comment

Rangers lift some things and do some cardio. Assassins lift themselves. Monks fight. Scouts do cardio. Druids meditate and do yoga. Adventurers explore. Rebels are new and still figuring things out. I'm now going to be shot for those descriptions. 5 Quote Link to comment
Hellda Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Ahhhh! As discussed, the only cardio I do is on skates, and even then, I'm always squatting 3 Quote Also found on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatnikkidoes/ Link to comment

Emerald_Dragonfly Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Welcome, welcome, welcome! Any reason to lift is a good reason! Oh...like the strong, awesome ladies above, I am a warrior, too. :-) I'm still a newbie, and I will say that the warriors have boosted my confidence tremendously. 1 Quote ~Emerald_Dragonfly Level 13 Warrior Link to comment

I'll uh... just come in here and stake my Ranger claim to awesome derby women Rangers lift a lot too! Many of us just as much as the warriors.

Grymm Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Oh hai everybody! I heard this was the new warrior group thread! Lift all the things! Any set over five is cardio! I think roller derby is a proper warrior sport. The rangers would run around the track. Skating is more energy efficient. Also, there's the "none shall pass" blockers, definitely warriors. 5 Quote Intro Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 Link to comment

Hellda and I are friends from back in the days when I spent more time twirling tassels than lifting barbells.
