Now that skinny-tok and "Pilates arms" are trending again let me address something as a woman who grew up in the heroine chic era π»
Looking back at the 15 years I wasted:
β’From starving myself through years of anorexia/EDs and actual panic every time i saw a scale --->
β’To literally not physically being able to eat bc I was going through trauma and abuse --->
"Skinny" reflects to me: deeply struggling with my value and worth, being disconnected from my soul, and shrinking myself for the world
I harshly controlled food (and heavily used alcohol) because I felt out of control of myself
*CAVEAT: I`m NOT skinny shaming- thin is beautiful, thick is beautiful, all body types are beautiful.... as long as you`re mentally and physically healthy
25 lbs up (at 5` 0") from my lowest weight
And now?
I see a reflection of strength.
Of choosing myself, over and over again
Healing my relationship with my body
Winning my battle with food
Making friends with my mental demons
Going to war against patriarchal standards
Devotion to my future self
Returning home
β¨ It`s me vs me- and I fucking win β¨
Your body, your health, your physical mental and spiritual well being- it`s not a trend
It`s a reflection of the love, value, and standards you hold for yourself
But if there is a new body trend...... can it be women eating alot, getting strong AF and building a SHIT TON OF MUSCLE!!?!!

SCREAMING for Lisa`s progress, commitment, kind feedback π₯Ή PULL-UPS (and booty!! π€)... This beautiful woman is about to turn 48- proving age is NO EXCUSE- and stepping into her strongest era yet π₯
βΌοΈSWIPE ---> for a sampling of her incredible results! (Too many wins for one post π€)
Not achieved by doing "more" (in fact she trains just 3x a week!)...
But through consistency with my *failproof* method πͺ
Lisa had a coach for a full year before me. She had tried multiple other training programs and was already lifting... with no results
β¨"In 2 month of working with Leslie I saw more physical change than I had in years. That was hugely motivating"β¨
She`s now 10% body fat down, dialed in nutrition habits, CRUSHING HER LIFTS....
And most importantly: Celebrating the strongest and most empowered version of self β€οΈβπ₯
Lisa @litzalouisa -- it`s been an absolute joy, pleasure and HONOR to be part of your life changing journey. Thank you for trusting my guidance.
I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!! πππͺπ

Imagine with me--> Summer is coming and youβre not crash dieting, slashing carbs, or stressing about putting on a bikini π
Because you donβt have to get ready
When you stay ready π»
For the last 12 years I have lived- and mastered this GIFT called a fitness lifestyle
Through single motherhood, building a business, and every season life has thrown my way, Iβve embodied the fact: consistency beats perfection every time.
_
My area of genius is helping women create this invaluable investment in their own lives.

Because the goals isn`t *just* to feel sexy AF during bikini season (although hell yes to that)
The goal is becoming the woman who is strong, confident, and ready, for life
_

Hormone imbalance, its multiple symptoms and many potential conditions, seem to be rampant, especially amongst women (EXTREMELY expansive topic...)
The absolutely amazing and fabulous news is: *Most* of these root issues (and or/their symptoms at the least, I understand PMOS can have genetic implications) can be completely REVERSED/lessened through:
β¨Improved body composition (aka- MUSCLE), circadian rhythm and lifestyle improvements π
HOW FKN COOL THAT: the human body is miraculous and intelligent beyond human comprehension
And at any given moment you can literally take control and sovereignty over your life and truly lessen/ eradicate/ HEAL multitudes of health issues β¨

No Pilates- just an ELITE hypertrophy sluuuuut π
and the size of a 10 yr old lol.
If I didn`t have zero testosterone and a broken low back it`d be so over π€£π
Newsflash ladies there`s no such thing as "Pilates muscles" and "bulky muscles" ...PLS π₯΄
Muscle is muscle, and there`s only one way to build it.
π»π»π»
I`ve been a CPT for nearly a decade and have consulted with hundreds of women....
Every. Single. One- has told me they want to look TONED
If I don`t say it enough- your dream body is a lot A LOT more MUSCLE (and low enough body FAT to see it) than you think
And while there`s nothing wrong with incorporating Pilates..... π π
Muscle, STRENGTH, and your best, bomb, caked up BOOTY body composition- can only be built through: a training program following progressive overload π
Plus who doesn`t want to get STRONG AF... 12 years into lifting and I`m still continually CHALLENGED by my craft.
I LOVE THIS SHIT

If you want to build your strongest most toned, CAKED UP, hourglass shape π»

Celebrating a very special woman- and the definition of no excuses!!! @toriemountian
Limited time and limited equipment still didn`t stand a chance to these GAINSSSSS ππ
Despite a bumpy AF ride in her personal life: Torie chose to BET on HERSELF, staying consistent to her home lifts- threading them into single motherhood, co-sleeping, divorce π΅βπ«, solo entrepreneurship, and the wild ride that has been re-building her life.
And she`s SO GLAD SHE DID ππ
_
Ofc this journey hits close to my heart bc damn...... I can relate ππ»
Throughout the chaos and challenges, lifting has provided Torie a safe, grounded, and empowering place to renew her heart, mind, and body
Teaching that she can SHOW UP for herself no matter what seemed to be falling apart
That`s how we build integrity with ourselves. That`s how we build self confidence.
..... not to mention a hot bod ππ₯΅π
_
Torie is PROOF:
β¨It`s not about having the time, it`s about deciding to make the time (ALL my clients are busy women)
β¨Fitness should be and absolutely CAN be a sustainable routine that threads into ANY lifestyle
β¨Betting on yourself is the BEST return on investment- not only for yourself but your children and the people you love π
β¨Results aren`t about sacrificing long hours, but having an efficient and efficient PLAN
β¨WEIGHTS BUILD HOT STRONG MUSCLE MOMMY BODIES WOOP!!!!

For 15 years of my life, I struggled with my weight and even at my lowest weight... looking skinny fat
I was on the disordered eating, exercise/calorie burn, discouraged AF hamster wheel π€
Then I figured out no, my body wasn`t broken-
I just needed to recomposition that bitch π
And now I teach women the exact blueprint

Happy mother earth day πΈπ§ββοΈπ₯ππ¦βοΈπ²ππ
All of this inversion-
Because they stole the Divine Mother
They hid her wisdom
Buried her cycles
Silenced her instinct
Shamed her wild
Guilted her rawness
Pillaged her riches
Extorted her creation
The feral feminine is returning
And she remembers everything
She is fire. Let her burn
She is air. Let her rise
She is water. Let her heal
She is earth. Let her create
My page is for the woman who feels this reclamation in her bones
Return to the Mother
Let`s heal the world
β¨β¨β¨
PS- I WILL NEVER GET OVER MY STATE
