The 28-year-old Adele MacGillivray responded to trolls who said she was larger than the typical guy. The mother of one who competes in bodybuilding started working out in 2016.
Despite being mocked for her muscular form, a female bodybuilder claims she has never been more ladylike.
Since beginning her fitness journey in 2016, 28-year-old Adele MacGillivray has frequently been criticized for her muscles.
She entered and won her first bodybuilding competition in 2019 after losing three stone and going down five dress sizes.
Just six months after giving birth to her son Axiel, the single mother even won gold at another competition the previous year.
The mental health nurse still enjoys working out, although she frequently receives criticism for her appearance.
Adele, who is married to PT Robbie, told Sun Fabulous: "Multiple people have called me a man and said I'm too muscly."
"People have said 'you're bigger than the average male' and 'do you actually think that look is attractive?'"
"I would say it did affect me at the start because I didn't really have many people around me that understood it."
The mother said that because she "genuinely loves the sport," the criticisms no longer upset her.
Adele claims that, despite being told that she is too masculine, the opposite is true since she is "very girly."
The mother, who has over 2,600 Instagram followers, also enjoys being tanned and wearing eyelash extensions.
She met Robbie at the gym she visited where he worked.
They clicked right away, and it turned out that their mutual passion for exercise was a match made in heaven.
Adele wants to prove to other mothers that anything is possible after winning a contest last year.
No matter how many children they have, she urges other women to follow their aspirations.
