I would try and have a variety of carb sources – as everyone has said above! Sticking to just one can cause intolerance’s and potential digestive issues! There are also a lot of other carb sources in which are easy to prepare as well like Jimmy mentioned above 🙂

I agree with Meg. I would go into a maintenance to help keep the tissue you currently have especially if you have no equipment at the moment! I would definitely try and have a look around to see if you can maybe grab something from amazon/gumtree/craigslist or online stores x

Its okay, I am grateful that I am safe and actually probably in a better situation here than I would be in London right now! So even though it sucks that I cant immediately get home, I still wouldn’t have gym access and would have less equipment and space at home to train than I currently do at the moment! My original airline has again pushed back flights to London so i am now in the process of seeking a refund for the return portion of the trip and then re booking in May (beginning of) on a different airline as prices seem lower, i think at the height of the crisis i was looking at flight home and they were extortionate! but in may they are looking more of a positive price! 🙂

But I am seeing the positives in this situation and loving getting to see family that I only get to see once or twice every few years!! But the work still continues, i send my weight each and every day to Corinne and we are in talks of potential plans as and when we are going to get back on stage!! I know that there will be light at the end of this what seems like never ending tunnel but got to stay positive and keep on track!!!

Sending much love and positive vibes to everyone!! Keep working, Keep smiling and Keep positive xxx

Most definitely can be used to create stimulus and help retain tissue – especially in the current situation! and as Joe said still make sure though even with bands you focus on tempos and execution of the movements 🙂 x

Hey @katiecshallbe_

Recovery is getting much better!! First full week, i was really beat!! But now getting into it and recovering better!! I must admit though im really missing my CURE COMING and Join In supplements!! I can really feel the difference with out them – my knees feel a bit sticky!

So Australia is talking about 6 weeks until lifting the Lockdown! I really hope it is sooner though!! Cases here seem to have slowed down and the number of deaths is still quite low! Still such a surreal situation right now

hehe its so good having a camera for check ins hehe but iphone is equally as good, i think im going to wait to get a new one xxx

Hope everyone had a lovely easter xx

Hey Jason, I suffered quite a bit with my patella tendinitis when I was a diver! In order to help, key points would be reducing inflammation and you may hate to hear this but rest will also help!! Is there any particular movement in your leg session that you are finding is making it more tender?? have you ever tried kwan loong oil on your knees?? Also using CURE COMING and JOIN IN will help wonders xx

Good morning and HAPPY EASTER!!

This morning I went for a nice big walk to get the majority of my steps in before it started to get busy later this afternoon!! Today I am training upper!! I mentioned to Corinne about the pullover niggling my back and we have changed it to another exercise but one that is still going to target my lats!! So all is well!! I’m feeling really good at the moment!! we have made a few changes to my diet yesterday, to keep things in check so we are ready to jump into a show when the opportunity presents itself!! My split is still Upper, Lower, REST which is really working well at the moment and my step goal is still at 12k 🙂

I hope everyone has an amazing day!! and stay safe xxx

I’ve always used my iPhone! I wish I had a camera but then again I’d have to upload/import the photos and I usually don’t have the time to do so ???? usually do a video and screenshot the video as I go through my poses ????
What camera did you have Rhea? X x

Ah amazing!! I used to use my iPhone and then in 2018 I started using my camera and transfer them to my phone through an app and send them across as my check ins!

I did have the Sony DSC WX500 xxxx

I hope everything is going well Katie x

Hey Djordje,

So as Louis said post workout I would steer clear of fats as they will slow down digestion! I would have a meal of carbs and protein – whether it chicken and rice, whey and cereal, oats and whey, bagels + jam + whey x

Hey Saul,
As many above have mentioned tendon issue tend to stick around but there are ways around it to try and reduce the pain and calm the inflammation!
I would make sure that joint health is on point and avoid movements that cause irritation and if it has gone on for so long and not easing I would definitely see a specialist x
