Come See OUR Progress!!

Nik loves her push-ups Chile. She will drop and give you 50 in a heartbeat 🙄🤭 Either way… she looks good because of it. She’s come a long way and I’m proud of her consistency.

For me- I am working on my overall body, but I do a little more work on my core. I’ve dealt with PCOS since a teenager, which is the reason I have my “tummy.” Not to mention years of stress, trauma, and unhealthy eating…. BUT acknowledging that, has allowed me to push past and make strides in the right direction.

Ya girls are looking good to say the least 🤪 (view our page for before pics)

Let us know what exercises, supplements, healthy receipts, etc that you guys use. We are always willing to try new things.

As always…

We love yall,

Nik and Piph

Many individuals face challenges in their fitness journey, especially when dealing with conditions like PCOS. To support body transformation, it's essential to adopt a well-rounded approach that includes exercise, nutrition, and mental wellness. Engaging in regular physical activity, such as push-ups, can improve strength and endurance. Consider incorporating core exercises to stabilize your body and enhance overall fitness. Nutrition plays a crucial role; focus on a balanced diet rich in whole foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Finding support through community or friends can motivate you and keep you accountable. Don't hesitate to explore supplements that might aid your fitness journey, such as omega-3 fatty acids for inflammation or probiotics for digestive health. Sharing experiences and tips with others can lead to new discoveries and help you stay committed. Finally, remember that progress takes time, so be patient and celebrate small victories along the way.

Have you stopped making progress?😬

Yes, there are rep ranges that are better for different goals/ results… but all of them will eventually STOP working when you use it for too long. Your body will adapt and you will eventually hit a PLATEAU in your progress. On average it takes our bodies 4-6 weeks to fully adapt to a new stim
