Being Reproductively Ready
A body commentary COS I realise people seem to be very hung up on belly .
So quick to point out a ‘flaw’ as if it was their life motto that you be what they wanna see .
Relax bro. A little fat won’t kill. Yes I am 65kg . A whole 9kg heavier.
To be fair this is the strongest and robust I ever felt. @coach_tombliss thank you .
I use to be lean and when I rack heavy my body gives way to un explained strains and a busted knee that keeps coming back . NO I DONT PUSH THRU THE PAIN , only idiots do.
I seek help . And thanks to structure , of cos with up and downs and change of mindset and patience , here we are today .
I am not a small 54kg but it’s no one business. If you make it your business then u be barking up the wrong tree.
And with more belly and def more fat and muscle 💪, runs happen, weights happen and recovery happens faster . And the cream of the cake is when the doctor tell you ur health and reproductive health is good .
At 38 turning 39, that’s priceless.

From my own experience, I’ve learned that focusing solely on having a flat belly or maintaining a certain weight can often be misleading when it comes to overall health. Like many, I chased leanness and the scale number, but I faced persistent injuries and fatigue that held me back from giving my best physically. It wasn’t until I shifted my mindset to prioritize strength, endurance, and recovery that I truly felt empowered. Adding those extra kilos—both fat and muscle—gave my body the resilience it needed. I could run faster and lift heavier weights without the recurring strains or a sore knee slowing me down. Recovery became noticeably quicker, and my mood stabilized, all contributing to a more sustainable fitness lifestyle. What initially felt like a 'flaw' according to societal standards turned out to be my greatest asset. Crucially, this journey wasn’t about ignoring pain or pushing through it recklessly. Instead, seeking professional guidance and adopting a structured, patient approach was key. It made me appreciate how important it is to listen to your body and respect its limits. Most surprisingly, this transformation also positively impacted my reproductive health. Regular periods and positive health checkups became a testament to how strength and body composition influence fertility and overall well-being, especially as we approach 40. I hope sharing this perspective encourages others to embrace their unique body journey and focus on what truly matters: how you feel inside and how well your body functions, not just how it looks.
