Longford Woman participates in final of European bodybuilding competition

A Longford woman will be one of 22 Irish Competitors taking part in the finals of the European Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships in Spain this weekend.

Orla Brady from Drumlish began fitness classes locally in recent years and managed to lose over 30 kilos before becoming attracted to the bodybuilding competitions.

Orla says the training and the discipline needed to take part in competitions is difficult but she's enjoyed the journey so far.

She says there are different sections of classes to enter in bodybuilding and she's opted for a more natural look than some of the others offer.
