Most people can play the game for nine days. Very few can play it for thirty. Week 1 was about exposing the problem.. the weakness in your core and the inflammation in your gut. Week 2 is where we start fixing it. If you’ve made it this far, do not slow down now. The novelty has worn off, and this is where the real work begins. We aren't starting over; we are building a foundation that doesn't crumble. Today’s Standard: 1. Complete your scheduled rotation. 2. No "ego reps." If you’re tired, move slower. 3. Stay consistent with your Gut Protocol. Success is just a series of wins stacked on top of each other. Go get today’s win.

Everyone tells you to "eat more protein" to build muscle and see definition. But here is the truth: If your body isn't breaking that protein down properly, you aren't building muscle.. you’re just creating metabolic waste and more bloat. If you feel heavy, sluggish, or gassy after a high-protein meal, you aren't "using" what you’re eating. You’re leaving results on the table and slowing down your recovery. This week, we focus on utilization. Pay attention to how you feel after your meals today. Do you feel energized, or do you feel like you need a nap? If your digestion is sluggish, your progress will be too. I will be sharing on my insta one of the core workouts.. I KNOW IT IS NOT TODAY'S lol I didn't want to post that exact one again! I will be doing ours later today!!!!

Nothing like a little daily accountability!!!! WHO GOT DAY 8 done?! What questions do we have!!

I’m currently deep in prep, and the difference between my body now and my prep in 2024 is night and day. In 2024, my gut was a complete wreck. I was stressed, inflamed, and becoming intolerant to almost everything I ate. My coach was pulling food left and right because my body simply couldn't process it. I was doing the work, but my midsection never looked "right" because the internal inflammation was masking everything. Fast forward to today: I am weeks away from the stage, and my core has never looked better. My waist is tighter, my digestion is on point, and the bloat is non-existent. What changed? I stopped ignoring my gut health. I stopped trying to "crunch" my way through a bad gut and started healing it from the inside out. My non-negotiable daily stack: Colostrum: To seal my gut lining and kill the inflammation. Opti-Greens 50: To keep my digestion moving and my pH balanced. Micro Factor: To ensure my body has the nutrients to recover under stress. Core-21: To manage cortisol and metabolic waste overnight. If you want the "flat" look, you have to earn it internally. The core work builds the muscle, but the Gut Protocol reveals it. If you’re ready to stop fighting your own body and start seeing the results of your hard work, DM me "HEAL" and let’s get your protocol set up.

If you’re doing leg raises and only feeling your hip flexors, or doing planks and only feeling your lower back.. you aren't training your abs. You’re just moving your limbs. The Problem: Poor TVA (Transverse Abdominis) control. Most people "push out" against their abdominal wall when they strain. This creates pressure, causes doming, and completely disengages the muscles you’re trying to hit. The Fix: 1. Slow Down: If you’re rushing the rep, you’re using momentum, not muscle. 2. The "Zip Up" Breath: Before you move, exhale all your air and imagine zipping up a tight pair of jeans. Pull your belly button ‘away’ from your waistband. 3. Engage First: The brace happens ‘before’ the movement starts. If you don't feel the tension in your deep core before the first rep, stop and reset. Stop wasting your energy on junk volume. One controlled, braced rep is worth fifty sloppy ones. Focus on the "Pull In" today. Who got day 7 in?!
