You wouldn’t speak to your bestie like that
Being kind to yourself is so important. We all have good and bad days/weeks. Feel motivated sometimes and others you’re just trying your best and plodding through. That’s okay.

It’s okay to get down, natural even. What’s not okay is forcing yourself even further by being nasty to yourself. Now, I’m not saying I’m great at this because honestly, I’m my own worst critic and I can be quite nasty to myself but it’s important to change your attitude towards yourself. Even if you feel like s**t, you feel bloated or you even gained a few pounds. Looking in the mirror and calling yourself fat and worthless is only gonna make you feel worse, it’s never going to make you feel better and it’s not gonna make you lose that 3lbs so really it’s offering NOTHING. Try to ook in the mirror and find 3 things you like about yourself. If that’s too difficult today, just think about 3 things you’re grateful for. They don’t have to be physical, you can be grateful for your family, your friends, good food, anything!

It’s important to also detach from the physical. You are more than a dress size, more than a 6 pack, more than a big b***y. You are an incredible person and you have more to offer than how you look so stop staring in the mirror so much! Live your life and have fun, keep your sparkle and be your most amazing self 🤍

How often should I train my glutes?

Short answer…3

Buttttt, as always training volume is very much dependent on the individual and how they are going about their training. Depending on the person, they may benefit from anywhere between 2 and 6 times per week but this is all based on HOW they train so please don’t read this and go do heavy deadlifts and walking lunges 6 times a week I beg.

So, how do you decide how often to train the glutes?

Research into training for hypertrophy in a particular muscle group has determined that training a muscle 2 times a week is better than training it once a week. However, training more than this shows little-no difference in muscle size in most individuals due to the need for rest and recovery. No specific research into the glutes has been conducted but much anecdotal evidence and my own experience suggests the glutes can handle a slightly larger training volume due to their size and many different functions such as abduction, external rotation and hip extension. Because of this, many people find they can train the glutes around 3 times a week for substantial gains but many factors go into this:

1. Genetics
2. Exercise selection
3. Volume
4. Load
5. Effort
6. Intention
7. Specialization

You wouldn’t skip your shower. You wouldn’t skip brushing your teeth. You wouldn’t skip washing your hands. Why? Because they’re NON NEGOTIABLE. You do them for your health, for your hygiene and as part of your routine.

So why do you skip your exercise routine?

Start making it a priority and stop looking at it as a chore. You are blessed to be able to move your body and cook healthy food. That’s not to say you can’t enjoy a bev or three or go out for a nice meal- but make it a non negotiable to do something for your personal growth each day! Go for a walk! Go to the gym! Move your bod! You’ll feel better for it and it will be a task accomplished- and there’s not better feeling than that sense of achievement!

The Hipthrust tips you didn’t know
1. Adding bands is pointless- it takes away from the task in hand. The goal of a Hipthrusts is to achieve full hip extension-lock your hips and squeeze at the top. Adding a band takes energy away from this output and forces you to use that energy to keep your knees out against the band.
2. Lower the platform to reach full hip extension. You should be in a 90 degree table top position at the end of a Hipthrusts. Unless you are tall, you should not be using a full sized bench to do your Hipthrusts in most commercial gyms.
3. Drive the weight up with force but lower SLOWLY to maintain tension
4. Mind to muscle connection is so important, move with intention and squeeeeeze the glutes.
5. Chin tucked into chest and keep your gaze locked forward. This forces your ribs into a stable position and allows you to tuck your pelvis as you thrust up, so no risk of anterior pelvic tilt and no back pain!

Why you should prioritise heavy lifts
1. Its an easy way to track progressive overload to ensure you are always challenging your muscles, therefore damaging your muscles and ultimately growing and strengthening your muscles
2. It takes less time compared to volume based training- less reps, increased weight
3. You’re going to have to lift heavy eventually in order to keep progressing so may as well start now. Newbie gains don’t last forever…
4. You can EATTTTT sis. Lifting heavy requires a lot of energy so you can eat even more yay. Plus you burn use energy during the repair process post lift so you need to eat evennnn more!

100 days
Thats 14 weeks, 3.5 months and a whole lot of workouts to go before summer. So if you’ve not started yet… why not?

Don’t chase your tail this year, be prepared, get ahead of the game and get your fine ass in gear hun. The countdown is on so lets do this together:
10-15k steps a day
2-3litres of water a day
Eat your greens
Protein in every meal
Lift some weights (at least 3X a week but aiming for up to 5 depending on your schedule)

This may seem like a lot of work, and it might well be, but by making these practices habits in your life you will notice a world of difference. If you’re daunted by the prospect of lifting weights, drop me a DM and we’ll go through some exercise form together or home workout options so you can still get the bod, but more importantly the confidence to go into summer with your head held high!

5 Basics everyone should know about the gym

1. Progressive overload- Your muscles adapt really quickly and you need to keep making things more challenging to provide stimulus. The easiest way to do this is by adding more weight but you can also change the tempo particularly through the eccentric (lengthening) phase of a movement, add pauses or add reps.
2. Training near failure- You don’t need to train to failure, this will most likely burn you out, but in order to stimulate growth in an optimal way you need to be near failure on your heavier lifts. What I recommend is learning what failure feels like so you know how to train just shy of that.
3. If your goal is hypertrophy (growth), stability is key. To grow muscle you need to apply as much tension to the muscle you’re working as possible by isolating that muscle rather than relying on lots of stabilising muscles. Its not a cop out to use machines or hold onto something for balance- if your goal is to grow muscle you need to allow yourself to focus on that muscle.
4. Focus on eccentric loading. The eccentric part of an exercise is the lengthening phase for example the lowering phase of a bicep curl. This is the phase where the most damage occurs- like when you stretch an elastic band, its the same for a muscle. There is most tension against the load during this phase and increased tension=increased gains so slow this phase down and focus.
5. Protein builds, carbs feed so don’t skip out on your carbs! Carbs improve insulin sensitivity and fuel the muscle prelift while replenishing muscle glycogen post lift so don’t just eat your chicken-get your damn rice too.

Be kind to your future self

“It’s future me’s problem’ is probably my CATCHPHRASE at this point. We all do it… we see what needs to be done, shrug it off and say “that’s laters problem” whether it be uni asignments, meal prepping or starting the gym. And what happens every time we do this? The workload starts piling up until its unbearable and we HAVE to start getting into it.

My new philosophy is to be kind to my future self. Instead of leaving loads of work for your future self, start chipping away at it now, make life more manageable and all around more enjoyable. In terms of your gym goals, start now- don’t leave all the work til a month before your summer holiday when you decide to go into a crazy calorie deficit and kill yourself with crazy HIIT workouts. Start chipping away at it now, get your steps, drink your water, have a manageable deficit. The same goes if your goal is muscle gain- go steady and take your time, this way you can relax and enjoy the process rather than getting in a fluster!

Be kind to your future self because at the end of the day that bitch is still u so why make your life difficult!

Weight gain… it’s scary
In a society that defines your worth by your size, the prospect of gaining weight can be a daunting one for many women. I was terrified of gaining weight and of course still get down about it sometimes- I’m a product of my environment and weighing more than most men can SOMETIMES get to my head 😂. But the reality is that sometimes weight gain is necessary. In picture one exactly 1 year ago, my metabolism was a mess, I was eating 1600kcal, weightlifting 6 times a week, 2 walks a day plus filming content for you guys. I didn’t consciously do this to lose weight- I was really just bored in lockdown. But I ended up being my lowest weight ever, however, this bred thoughts about my body image and as the weight dropped off it became never ending. I always wanted more and I was never small enough. My weight was going down but I didn’t have the shape I wanted and my muscles weren’t as defined as I wanted and all these things! I was so unhappy and I’d regularly call myself fat. Looking back I was of course FAR from it!

Picture 2 I’m working on building my calories up, fixing my metabolism, recognising my hunger queues, lifting to a good standard 4 times a week and not putting too much pressure on myself! There is well over a stone between these pictures but look at the b***y gains 🍑. More importantly, I’m happier and much more confident in who I am. Plus I love being able to have cocktails and burgers again 🤗😂. Don’t be afraid to gain weight, sometimes it’s the best thing you can do to live the life you truly want!
