As you can see, I’m in the “zone.”
Please don’t assume it’s easy for me; I had to get to this point.
How did I do it? Small steps!
Far too often we focus on the end result rather than the steps needed to get there. It’s counterintuitive but it’s natural for us to feel this way. “I know how I want to look and feel;” That’s exciting! The exercise, nutrition, etc. is not something we are jumping for joy about.
…I know this, I was there — When I wanted to get fit again & to get back into dance I had a looooong way to go.
I had some “muscle memory” so I remembered what it takes & feels like to train at a championship level.
Now that I was ready to “do it again” 15 yrs later, I was severely overweight and motivated about late night ice cream, not exercise.
So how was I able to change my mindset & focus?
What switch did I turn on to be able to develop the discipline needed for the day to day grind?
This is one of the questions I get asked the most. It’s important, perhaps initially even more important than your workouts & nutrition etc. How do we achieve “mind over body” success?
Honestly; there is a fix but no quick fix. Meaning, I can show you how to do a specific exercise to achieve a specific result. I can tell you exactly what to eat for fat loss, muscle gain etc. The fact is, you still have to ultimately decide to do it. When I developed HELSA I realized that this mind-body connection was as important for success as any other single component for you to be successful in reaching your goals.
If you “want it,” let me know.
It doesn’t matter what you starting point is.
It’s time you achieved your goals.
FINISH IT!
Send me a message or DM, I’ll show you the way.

THE HELSA METHOD [Body]
Four Simple Flat Abs Hacks
When the summer sun is shining, you wished you had spent hours at the gym & followed that diet from February, don’t you?
“But” as they say; Too many restrictions, hours on boring exercises… (Psst… a side note, that’s not how we do it here at HELSA, we have fun & reach our goals!!)
Listen! I know, I have been there myself once… or probably more than I can count. First, don’t get down on yourself & 2nd: here are 4 flat abs hacks you can start NOW!
1️⃣ Fast before you do your cardio (in our online community you can access plenty of fun classes for free). I know far too many that shove a big meal in right before they workout “to have enough energy” to do the workout. That idea is completely counterproductive! Instead of burning body fat, your body will burn what you just ate; back at ground zero! So hold on eating; There is a time & place for it, just not before your workout.
2️⃣ Sip your water slowly throughout the day. This helps your body utilize it fully. When you chug a full glass it will bloat your stomach and no chance for your body to absorb it, it will just get “washed” out — after it has stretched out your stomach!
3️⃣ Rather than doing crunches, do planks. Make sure you hold your abs in without holding your breath. Hold for 30-60 seconds, rest & repeat 3x
4️⃣ Do low static leg raise holds. It looks like a walk in the park… but be warned - doesn’t feel like one! Thankfully it only takes a few seconds so you can do it! If this is the first time trying, tuck your hands under your butt for balance & lift both legs up or alternate legs lifting them slowly one at a time. Keep the hold for 30-60 seconds & repeat it 3x

It’s a beautiful Saturday morning and I just finished my abs workout. Many don’t believe that I was once well over 200lbs. I was and I’ll show you the photos! I developed HELSA to transform my health & fitness. It can do the same for you.
I’m Debating if I should just stay right where I am for a moment or get going on some work that is on the agenda for today: I’m filming workout routines for our new YT channel that is soft-launching this month. (The crew is ready and waiting!)
I honestly can’t wait for you all to see it and be able to workout with me. You will lose the weight, get fit and get into the best shape of your life.
Best of all, it’s fun and you feel the results right away. No matter where you are starting from; you can do this. DM or comment any questions you have about your weight loss struggles and I’ll lead you in right way. Join me, it will be fun.
