Thought this challenge would be hard because of the push-ups...?
Turns out the hardest part was catching the dumbbells π
Strength helps.
Coordination helps.
Not dropping a dumbbell on your face also helps.
After a few attempts, I finally got it β

Knuckle push-ups look tough... but that's not why many people do them.
One of the biggest reasons people try knuckle push-ups is because they keep the wrist in a more neutral position compared to traditional push-ups.
But if you've never done them before, they can be uncomfortable. Not because they're bad for you, but because your knuckles aren't used to taking that kind of pressure.
Just like any exercise, your body adapts.
A few tips if you're curious to try them:
β
Start on a soft surface or gym mat
β
Use your first two knuckles (index and middle finger side)
β
Build up gradually
β
Stop if you feel joint pain
And unless you're training for martial arts... there's really no need to do them on concrete π

Week 4/19 β
This week wasn't about doing anything extreme.
It was about doing the little things consistently:
π Weight dropped from 68kg to 67kg
ποΈββοΈ 210kg leg press for 12 reps
π₯ Every gram still tracked
π₯ New challenge recorded
πββοΈ Recovery booked and done
People often see the result and miss the hundreds of small decisions behind it.
One meal.
One workout.
One recovery session.
One day at a time.
That's how progress happens.
See you in Week 5 πͺ
πCan't do push-ups?π
Most women who tell me they "can't do push-ups" are starting at the wrong level.
Trying floor push-ups before you've built enough strength is like trying to run before you can walk.
Instead:
β
Start with wall push-ups
β
Progress to a bench or countertop
β
Lower the incline as you get stronger
β
Build towards your first floor push-up
Strength isn't built by testing yourself.
It's built by progressing yourself.
Save this for the day you decide you're finally going to get your first push-up. πͺ
The snack that saves me from the 3pm pantry raid π
Many women think they need more discipline.
Often they just need a better plan.
When hunger hits and there's nothing prepared, convenience usually wins.
This high-protein Weet-Bix bowl takes a few minutes to make and keeps me satisfied for hours.
Recipe (4 serves):
π₯£ 8 Weet-Bix (120g)
π₯£ 600g high-protein no-added-sugar yoghurt
π₯£ 25g honey
π₯£ Cinnamon
π₯£ Β½ cup water
π₯£ 200g berries
Mix, divide into 4 containers and top with 50g of berries.
Around 20g protein per serve.
Save this for your next meal prep day πͺ

Can't do a floor push-up yet?
Stop making it harder than it needs to be.
Most people either:
β avoid push-ups completely
β struggle through knee push-ups
β keep attempting floor push-ups without getting stronger
Instead, use a simple incline progression.
The higher your hands, the easier the movement becomes.
As you get stronger, lower the incline until you're ready for floor push-ups.
Save this progression and use it in your next workout.

Have you ever caught yourself being 'good' all day, only to feel completely out of control with food at night?
PREP DIARY β Week 3/19
This week's theme was resilience.
Not because everything went perfectly.
Because it didn't.
βοΈ Hit 200kg hip thrusts
βοΈ Got my sessions done
βοΈ Kept recovery a priority
But there were also days I didn't feel like training.
One session nearly got skipped after a poor night's sleep.
I showed up anyway.
That's what I'm learning this prep:
Progress isn't built on the days you're motivated.
It's built on the days you follow through anyway.
And sometimes it's also built on attempting random core challenges and falling off a dumbbell. π
Week 4, let's go.
This push-up mistake is killing your core activation
