Thank you so much!

Thank you! Yes! Slow progress is still progress. :-) #NoExcuses

Hi! Yesterday's workout was 1h of push-ups/420 kcal. This is my last hurrah as a looong pause from fitness will follow (17.03 ->) and when I'll return, I won't be able to insist with the chest exercises like I did in the last year. But I am very proud that I went from zero to hero. I can do tens of push-up variations and…

26.02 new PR: 36kg barbell chest press Not sure if I have a muscle asymmetry or if the imbalance was caused by the pain in my right arm.

Thank you all so much! <3

Hi! you're welcome. Well... protein should be about 1.6g/kg bodyweight if you are overweight and higher if you have normal weight. I weight 56kg and I eat 115-120g of protein. I could certainly eat less but protein builds muscle and I aim for that. 1.6g is enough too. Regarding the dumbbells they should be very light but…

Thank you! I know what you mean. In my fitness group (for Romanian women only) are many mothers... some of them with even 5 children. It's hard to find the time but if they don't have it, they make it. I appreciate their ambition and struggle to be a better version of themselves. It depends on your goals. Mine was to add…

Hi! 20 days left until the surgery and even though I feel sick, I'm pushing hard. My chronic sinusitis has been giving me daily head aches for the last two weeks and I feel drained. But... NO EXCUSES. Today I set a new personal record: 10 skull crusher push-ups per set. In August I couldn't do any!

Thank you for the kind words. I get it. I never liked sports and 12 years of desk job didn't help at all. But I've learned that if you really want to make a change, you'll find a way. It will certainly be very hard at first but after you get past that difficult part, it's all motivation, satisfaction and rewards. Not to…

Hi! Thank you for the kind words! I messaged you. Caroline Girvan's Epic programs are the most efficient (and free) strength programs that I've tried so far. She has progressive overload even if you use the same dumbbells' all the way, she is super creative (I've learned many new exercises), she does isometrics,…

Thank you!

Hi! Since yesterday I have two new personal records that I feel VERY proud of (I never thought I'd get here): ✔️10 chin-ups in a workout ✔️300 push-ups in a workout (21/29/35/30/30/30/25/20/10/20/30/10/10), my last PR being 180 Also, checkout my 6 months progress for my back muscles. Hard work paying off! 😁

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Tomorrow (11th) it’s my 35th b-day and my 1 year fitness anniversary. Many of you know me as I am now but I would like to talk to you about who I was and how I’ve turned into a completely different person within a year. A YEAR AGO: - I was depressed. - Overweight. - VERY sedentary. - My muscles were atrophied. - I had no…
