1. ‘Pilates is just such a great workout’
It's on the floor. With multiple 'breathing' and water breaks.
2. ‘I listened to my body and all I wanted to do was stretch every day for like, 3 months’
Guilty. This whole 'listen to your body' method got me good. Have you ever heard of going on a walk, Amy?
3. ‘Is this top ok to wear to the gym three days in a row?’
It totally is if you smother it in perfume. No one will EVER see those sweat stains, trust me.
4. Sweat = highlight
#model life. Always looking glowy and fabulous thanks to natural perspiration.
5. Leggings are in, shaving is out
Pretty sure I went without owning a razor for at least 2 months. It's only when those hairs start to slip through the leggings that it's a problem... am I right?
6. Stairs post leg day - it’s a no from me
Hold the lift!!
"What level?"
"Level 1, please."
7. Justifying your 45min workout to be the best and only productive thing in your day
It's a legitimate excuse for your workplace to accept. Grinding hard for 45 minutes at the gym before a FULL 8 hour work day should be rewarded with a late start, long lunch and early finish.
8. Eating your body weight in food within 30 minutes post workout
These are the actual thoughts that go through my mind after I workout.
"Gotta eat some protein to fuel those gains ASAP. Chocolate protein please."
"Better refuel my carbohydrates to assist with the rebuilding of muscle tissues. Rice please."
"I really should incorporate some healthy fats in my meal to aid recovery. Half an avo and feta cheese with be perfect."
"Haha Amy, those foods don't go together. Just have five mini meals at once. #gains"
9. When ‘HIIT’ first came out it felt like it was speaking to your lazy, chubby soul
HIIT is really just a way of saying "get your butt off the couch for 20 minutes and sweat your little head off BEFORE you devour too many of those 'healthy treats'." NB: Healthy treats are not considered healthy if your portion sizes are fit for a hippo.
10. Meal prep is not, and never will be a thing
Nope. Not for me. Three day old chicken? No thanks. How about some rice, veggies and mince AGAIN? I don't think so, not in this lifetime.
Sound familiar? Don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad with any of the above. But have you ever been so low to do them all at once... it backfires (from what I've heard).
PS. Move more, move better
