Everything I’m teaching in my reformer classes this week! We’re focusing on lower body muscular endurance and core stability with this one! Video is 2.0 x speed.

Wearing @oneractive as always ✨

Starting off with some heavy footwork, I love teaching this variation using the short box!

Side A
Heading into some core stability work with rotation, draw the sword & overhead press. Adding the option to increase challenge for core stability by taking the supporting hand away from the box.

Leg extension with abduction and adduction (very spicy).

Toe taps again working core stability and hip flexors to support.

Side B

Finishing off with scooters & a hold, option to remove supporting hands.

I love to finish a heavy class plan with leg circles feet in straps and a shell stretch 🐚

Try this lower body sculpting flow for yourself, one spring for level 1 or throw an extra one on for level 2.

Wearing @oneractive as always ✨

Save this class plan to try! It’s humbling to say the least, controlled, slow and precise movements for this one! Try to maintain a steady pace and not speed things up!

Video speed is 1.6x !

Wearing @oneractive as always ✨

I’ve been thinking a lot about goals going into 2026.

Not because goals are bad, but because life changes. Priorities shift, things come up, and what felt right in January doesn’t always make sense by June. I spent some time looking back at my 2025 goals and realised I had completely forgotten about a few of them, and I wasn’t even fussed.

I think we sometimes keep pushing goals that don’t feel aligned anymore, just so we don’t feel like we’ve “failed”. And honestly, planning a full 365 days upfront can feel overwhelming before you’ve even started.

Lately I’ve been leaning more towards setting goals in smaller chunks - monthly or quarterly- so they actually fit around real life. It feels more realistic, more flexible, and way kinder when things inevitably change.

Save this if it resonates 🤍

A single arm bent over row is designed to work your back, mainly the lats, upper back and rear delts. ✨

1️⃣: most of the work is coming from the arm because the movement is straight up and down. This is a common challenge when you are learning the exercise. It is most obvious at the top of the rep if you look at the angle of my arm. Less than a 90 degree angle could be a sign that the arm is doing more of the lifting than the back.

2️⃣: the elbow drives back towards the hip, which allows the back to engage properly. Focusing on pulling from the back rather than lifting with the arm creates a stronger mind muscle connection and a much more effective row.

Tips:
•⁠ ⁠At the bottom of each rep, allow a full stretch through the lats before pulling back. This could help with the mind to muscle connection.
•⁠ ⁠Try experimenting with grip. Some people find a thumbless grip helps them engage their back.

Here’s a typical day of eating for me. I tend to focus on high protein and high fibre, making sure I’m eating enough to fuel my day! I also try to eat a variety of plant foods. Let me know if you want any of the recipes/ meal breakdowns and I’ll send them over. ✨💜

White Chocolate and Raspberry Baked Oats (serves 2)

Cals: 310
Protein: 21g

✨ 40 g of oats
✨ 100 ml of milk
✨ 1 small banana
✨ 1 egg
✨ half a scoop of vanilla protein powder
✨ half a teaspoon of baking powder
✨ 80 g of raspberries
✨ 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
✨ 140 g of 0% Greek yoghurt
✨ 15 g of white chocolate

I baked mine for 12 minutes in the air fryer on a baking setting at 160°C. My advice is to watch them and make sure that you don’t over-bake otherwise they’ll be a horrible texture.

The upper body workout I’ve been doing lately! You’ll notice a lot of similar exercises to past videos, that’s because I focus on progressively overloading exercises and also focus on hitting a variety of muscles in my workouts.

✨Banded dynamic warm-up!
✨Shoulder Press
✨Single Arm Bent Over Rows
✨Banded Pull-ups
✨Straight Arm Pulldowns on the cable machine
✨Tricep Dips

You can train every day and still not see fat loss - if your nutrition doesn’t match your goal.

Training hard + getting your steps in helps, but the real progress happens when you’re in a calorie deficit and fuelling your body right.

Focus on:
✨ 200–500 calorie deficit
✨ High protein meals
✨ Staying consistent over time

Fat loss isn’t about restriction, it’s about strategy.

Serves 2

Ingredients 🥣

300g cooked pasta
170g chargrilled jarred peppers
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium onion, diced
290g silken tofu, drained
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp Italian mixed herbs
20g cheese of choice (I used parmesan)

Method 🍝

1. Cook the pasta as per the packet instructions.
2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the onion and fry until softened.
3. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, then remove from the heat.
4. In a blender, combine the silken tofu, jarred peppers, paprika, Italian herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. Pour the blended sauce into the pan with the onion and garlic, then add the cooked pasta.
6. Stir through the nutritional yeast and toss everything together until coated and heated through.
7. Serve and top with grated cheese, then finish with a sprinkle of fresh chives or herbs.

✨ High-protein, creamy, and ready in under 20 minutes.

✨ “Lifting weights makes women bulky” - No. Building muscle makes you strong, toned, and confident. If anything, it’s excess fat that creates a “bulky” look, not the muscle itself.

✨ “You can target fat loss in specific areas” - You can’t spot reduce. Fat loss happens across the whole body, and where you lose or gain it is down to your genetics.

✨ “Women shouldn’t train like men” - There’s no such thing as male or female exercises, good training is good training. There can be different approaches when it comes to women’s training, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all rule.

✨ “If you’re not sore, you didn’t work hard enough” - Soreness doesn’t equal progress. What matters is consistency and progressive overload.

✨ “Sweating more means you’re burning more fat” - Sweat just means your body’s regulating temperature, not that you’re burning extra calories.

Try this for your next upper body session!

✨ DB shoulder press
✨ DB bent over single arm rows
✨ Tricep pushdown
✨ Support single arm row
✨ Press ups till failure

3 sets of each 💜

Building a strong upper body is great for overall gym performance and health but it also helps create the illusion of a smaller waist and hourglass figure!

A calorie deficit is the only way fat loss happens.

Put simply: it’s calories in vs calories out. You burn calories all day just by existing, and you burn even more when you move or exercise. Eating less than this total is what creates the deficit and leads to fat loss.

The good news? There are simple ways to make it easier:
✨ Track your food → build awareness
✨ Eat more protein → feel fuller
✨ Choose high-volume foods → eat more without going over
✨ Move more throughout your day → support your deficit

Stay consistent and fat loss happens gradually - no magic, no quick fixes. ✨
