Bulletproof Wellness

New equipment day at Bulletproof. 💪🧡

I’ve been wanting a solid shoulder press bench for the studio, and it finally arrived!

Little by little, I’m always looking for ways to make Bulletproof better for the women who train here.

Can’t wait to put this one to work. 💪

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: BRANDI 🧡

Brandi has a quiet kind of strength about her.
She’s driven, determined, and when she decides she’s going to do something, she does it. 💪

But one of my favorite things about Brandi is that she’s always friendly, always laughing, and just fun to have in the studio.

She works hard. She challenges herself. She keeps showing up.

Strong isn’t just what Brandi does in the gym. It’s who she is. 🧡

And we’re lucky to have her at Bulletproof. 💪

Your b***s left the building, but your belly is still hanging around.

One of the most frustrating things about losing body fat? You don't get to choose where it comes off.

Your face gets leaner.
Your chest gets smaller.
You see changes in your arms, back or legs.
Meanwhile you're staring at your stomach like, HELLO?! We were working on YOU. 😂

Genetics, hormones and age all play a role in where your body stores and loses fat.

And yes, even if you're using a GLP-1 as a fat-loss tool, you still don't get to choose where the fat comes from.

Food choices still matter. But no amount of crunches, planks or “belly fat exercises” can tell your body where to lose it.

BUILD STRENGTH. BOLDLY LIVE.

Its always a blast when Lucy shows up, gives it her best, laughs, smiles, and keeps going.

And apparently strength training has become a family affair because she’s even brought her 78-year-old mum in to join the fun. ❤️

Lucy, we love having you as part of Bulletproof. Never lose the sass. 😂💪

BUILD STRENGTH. BOLDLY LIVE.

The scale went up.

That does NOT automatically mean you gained fat.
Your weight can change because of:
Water.
Sodium.
Carbs.
Hormones.
Digestion.
Even a hard workout can cause you to temporarily hold more water.

And here's a little perspective:

It takes roughly 3,500 calories above what your body needs to gain about 1 lb of body fat.

So if the scale jumps 3 lbs overnight, that would theoretically be around 10,500 EXTRA calories above your needs for all 3 lbs to be fat.

Probably not what happened.

This is why I don't want women judging their entire progress off one random weigh-in.

Look at the bigger picture.
Are you getting stronger?
Are your clothes fitting differently?
Are you building muscle?
Are you being consistent with your food choices?

The scale is one piece of information.

It is not the whole story.

BUILD STRENGTH. BOLDLY LIVE.

Every woman who walks into Bulletproof comes in with her own story.

Different ages. Different bodies. Different goals. Different things they've dealt with along the way.

So why would I train them all the same?

Maybe you want to lose weight. Maybe you want to feel stronger. Maybe you want to build muscle or just feel better in your body.

We start with you and go from there.

This week's Give Your Trainer an Exercise Challenge 😂

Sarah sent me this one, so of course I had to figure it out.

Feet on the floor. ✔️
35 lb dumbbell. Too wobbly. 😂
Less band resistance. Bad idea.
More resistance… GOT IT. 💪
Would I ever actually program this exercise? Absolutely not. 😂

But since Sarah sent it to me…
Guess who gets to try it next? 😈😂
Your turn, Sarah. 💪🧡
