One week apart.
6 days of workouts.
More water. Less sugary drinks.
Feeling less bloated.

Still working on finding foods I’ll enjoy that are actually healthy for me without doing a complete 180° on my normal eating habits. Trying to ease into it and enjoy it.

daily ab routine!

for all of you who wanted to start a daily ab routine with me, here you go!



before starting your daily exercise, make sure you are listening to your body & making any neccesary accomodations for your body. (accommodating your body is good! that does not mean you are weak by any means. i always have to accommodate my shoulder in plank positions & various exercises)

disclosure: i am not a certified health/fitness professional. listen to your body & do the best you can! make the workout your own


plank workout

1. 60 second plank (full or elbow plank okay)

2. 45 second plank

3. 40 second side plank (left)

4. 45 second plank

6. 35 second plank

7. 30 second raised-leg plank (left)

if the planks are too long, don’t give up! cut it down by 10, 20, 30, (etc) seconds

Hi! You said that you are a personal trainer do you have any tips for cellulite. I have so much cellulite in my legs and I hate it. PLEASE help also I love your page and welcome back!

Cellulite is based on nutrition and genetics. Here’s the though, 90% of women over 20 have cellulite. Me at 90 pounds and me at 120 pounds - BOTH had cellulite. The model in the Cosmopolitan magazine - she probably has it. The toned and lean weight lifter in the gym - she probably has it. The amount of cellulite you have is NOT an indication of your athleticism. I struggle to wear shorts in the gym BUT I can do more pull ups than many of the men in there. 

Reduce your fat intake. STAY HYDRATED OMG THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. DRINK YO WATER GIRL. 

Things I do that have really helped (combined with going to the gym and being cautious of what I eat) 

1. Drink a glass of 1 tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar (UNFILTERED/ORGANIC/MOTHER) and 8 ounces of water. DO NOT SHOT IT - it’s worse than vodka and zero buzz. I hate the taste so while some can do two glasses a day - I’m working my way through one. You can add lemon and honey - I added freshly squeezed orange this morning. 

2. Add Apple Cider Vinegar to your lotion and rub that shit on your skin twice a day. The scent will eventually fade. You wanna target it internally and externally.

3. Massage the affected area to increase circulation 

In PE we discussed the female stereotypes surrounding sport and exercise. It made me realise how much more effort women have to put in to go for a run or to the gym than men. Even in now in 2017, women still feel self-conscious about their image during exercise. We feel the need to buy the latest designer sportswear and refuse to go for a run if we look “fat” or “unattractive”. Well, I have one thing to say ladies; let them stare. Because while they’re judging how you look in that moment, you’re the one who’s making the positive difference. Exercise should be about mental and emotional improvement, and not because you want to look “hot”. So called “bikini bodies” are just a by-product of improvement. Do it for yourself. Not for anyone else who may be looking at you.
