This week we wanted to share another amazing transformation following our 8 Summer Week Challenge.

 

 

At 23W, we have a few mantras that underpin our philosophy, and none sum up this babe more than ‘be the hardest worker in the room’. When Lucy is training, she has the capacity to lift the training intensity and ability of everyone else in the room. If you are looking for a training partner to push and inspire you, you can look no further than this power house!

 

 

Lucy returned back to exercise in late December, 2018 following the birth of her son and spent several weeks across Christmas and January returning to exercise safely. In the early stages, Lucy  has able to slowly restore her pelvic, core stability and foundational strength. The 8 Week Summer Challenge was the perfect opportunity to help Lucy to turn up the heat and dial in her healthy habits to help her reclaim her fitness postpartum.

 

 

Lucy’s results were incredible and a demonstration of the importance of pre-planning and a positive mindset. Let’s get to know Lucy!

 

 

 

My main goal was weight loss post baby, aiming for 6-8kg. I also wanted to commit to 4-5 weekly gym sessions, consistent meal prep and be able to do 10 push ups on my toes again!

 

I achieved all the goals I set.

 

I am proud of staying consistent and disciplined! Every week I just kept at it, pushing myself to get stronger and fitter. It feels great to have regained confidence in the gym post baby.

 

My core and pelvic floor has improved significantly and I’m now back doing things like box jumps, planking, sit ups and push ups, and lifting heavier weights which I’m loving.

 

 

Weekly online check ins, consistent meal prep and gym sessions. I also did face to face check ins with Ange.

 

 

Breakfast – 2 eggs on toast

Snack 1 – apple and coffee

Lunch – chicken salad

Snack 2 – hummus with carrot and celery sticks

Snack 3 – protein bar and coffee

Dinner – steak and veg

Snack 4 – berries and nuts with natural yoghurt

 

Plus 2-3 litres of water

 

 

Having coffee after training with all the other new Mums! Getting to train and socialise with a group of like minded women all going through the same thing is amazing. We keep each other accountable and have many laughs along the way 🙂

 

Plus the wonderful support, guidance and knowledge of Ange.

 

 

Stop making excuses and just get started. Get the bod moving and fuel yourself with the right foods. You need to be committed and serious about making the changes you want to see. Be clear on what you need to do to meet your goals.

 

For me, a consistent, healthy diet is what always leads to the biggest changes. I love the saying you can’t out train a bad diet which is spot on!

 

 

Meal prep on a Sunday night to set me up for a good week ahead.

 

Along with having a good mate to keep you accountable! I’ve been training with my some of my best friends for the past 6 years and we keep each other on track 🙂
