Video’s about 3 minutes long, so for those of you with no attention span… scroll on. 😂

For those of you who fancy challenging yourself and perhaps having a little bit of fun along the way, have a watch. 👀

These are a few of the mobility challenges I’ve tried over the last few weeks. Some definitely easier than others… 😂

Have a go and let me know, how many can you do? 👀💪

Movement

What do you do when a subject is a bit gross and not particularly exciting… but still needs addressing?

You make it anime, of course. 😂

After filming a much more professional gym hygiene video for the studio with Davide, his idea, by the way, I woke up the next morning with this in my head. I’m still not entirely sure whether I dreamt it or just woke up thinking about it, but either way, once the idea was there, I couldn’t let it go.

It started as a little comic… then I fell down the rabbit hole of trying to bring it to life. And once I’m invested in something, I find it VERY difficult to leave it alone. 😂

A lot of trial and error, some seriously annoying prompts and FAR too many credits later… this is the end result.

Also, can we please appreciate how cute the little soap character is? 🧼🥹😂

It ended up slightly more PC than originally intended because apparently I wasn’t allowed to use the word “dick”. 😂 My original vision also involved Gaston’s voice (Luke Evans) for the big guy and Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) for the soap… but copyright had other ideas.

Is it perfect? No.
Was it worth the amount I spent on credits? Questionable. 😂
Did I have far too much fun making it? Absolutely.

Not bad for a first attempt though… and it definitely won’t be the last. Soz 🙃😂🧼

No fluff. Just four big, bang for your buck movements.

They demand strength, technique, stability, focus and a serious brace while recruiting a hell of a lot of muscle.

Simple on paper. Bloody challenging to do well. 💪

Some people can get abs fairly easily. Others have to push their body incredibly hard to get there.

That doesn’t automatically make one person more disciplined than the other.

We all store body fat differently. For some people, the stomach is one of the first places to lean out. For others, it’s the last. Same with legs, hips, glutes, lower stomach, everyone’s pattern is different.

I can personally hold visible abs year round, even at slightly higher body fat levels, but that doesn’t mean I don’t work for them. I walk a lot, train hard, do my cardio, eat high protein, keep my food quality high, and stay very consistent. I probably do more than most people would realistically want to sustain long term.

And when I get super lean, I absolutely notice the trade offs more. I become far more food focused, hunger goes up, recovery gets harder, and it takes much more effort to maintain. I just personally haven’t experienced things like losing my period, whereas another woman might experience hormonal issues, low energy, poor recovery, or lose her cycle at a much higher body fat level than me.

Bodies respond differently.

The leaner you get, the more the body tends to adapt to protect itself. Hunger usually increases, energy can dip, training performance can suffer, and your body often starts pushing back harder.

This is why comparing physiques without understanding the biology behind them is pointless.

Visible abs are not automatically a sign of health, and struggling to get lean in certain areas does not mean you’re lazy, weak, or “doing it wrong.”

Some people naturally hold fat in stubborn areas more than others. Genetics, hormones, stress, sleep, muscle mass, and dieting history can all influence how lean you can comfortably get and maintain.

You can be healthy without abs.
You can have abs and not be healthy.
And two people at the same body fat percentage can look completely different.

A simple way to portion your food without overthinking it.

One palm of protein is roughly 22 to 25 grams. Most people should be aiming for around 20 to 30 grams of protein per meal.

For most, that works out to one to two palm-sized portions of protein per meal. The larger you are, the more you will need.

Carbohydrates can be measured as a cupped handful, fats as a thumb, and vegetables you can be more liberal with.

Simple, practical, and easy to follow without weighing everything.
