Why crunches won’t ’tone’ your stomach…

I used to think my core was strong. Then I saw a pelvic floor Physio postpartum. Truth was, even though I’ve been working in the fitness industry for more than a decade, I don’t think I ever used my lower abdominals properly until now.

And I can tell you right now it wasn’t through doing crunches that I rehabbed my core or lost body fat off my stomach after babies.

We hear from clients all the time about how they “need to do more abdominal exercises to achieve a flatter stomach or to tone that area.”

But there’s a reason you don’t see a single crunch happening in any of these videos. It’s because it’s not the secret to a stronger core, or losing some weight in our midsection.

The most powerful thing you could do to strengthen this area is to tap into core bracing with your breath, progressively lifting heavier weights to put your core under load once you have great technique, working on stability and occasionally isolate your core to ensure proper balance of deep and superficial core muscles.

Sure, there are some variations of a crunch that could really benefit you, but is it the secret? Nope. There’s so many more powerful things you could spend your time doing than crunches all day.

Curious as to the best way to spend the little time you do have to workout and target this area?

Comment below 👇 and we will send our 3 BEST WAYS to improve core strength, shedding inches (if that’s what floats your boat!) in this area and tapping into the power of that CORE!

The same body….

And this is why images can be damaging sometimes…because this is me. The same body on the left as the right 2 years after my son.

I have rebuilt this body, helped it heal, recover and become strong again.

But the foot prints pregnancy and childbirth has left on this body are still there.

I have more loose skin than I did before, I still deal with prolapse symptoms some days, I will need to keep healing and strengthening my pelvic floor moving forward and working through imbalances and pains created by a heavy 5 year old.

I haven’t ‘bounced back’ I don’t have my pre pregnancy body, I’m not the person I was before in the body I had before.

This body will be forever changed. The skin won’t be the same, my prolapse may never disappear.

But I’m rebuilding…a body that is strong, that supports me in my life, one that’s resilient and can battle the genes that have led to early death in my family.

This is just me in one moment. Trying to prioritise my health as much as I can. Through this season and the next ❤️

Quick dinner for busy parents who want to eat well… but also have zero time 😅

This is one of those meals that checks all the boxes:

✔ High protein
✔ Family-friendly
✔ Actually tastes good
✔ Takes minimal brain power

Chilli lime pulled pork + coconut rice bowl 🌶🥥

Because let’s be real…

If dinner takes 45 steps, 12 ingredients, and uninterrupted time — it’s not happening.

You don’t need complicated meals to see results.

You need repeatable meals that fit your life.

This is one of ours on heavy rotation right now.

Simple. Filling. Supports your goals without making you feel like you’re “dieting.”

If you want the full recipe + how we portion it for fat loss & strength goals…

DM RECIPE and I’ll send it over 💪

How our clients lost 10–15 lbs without dieting or hours in the gym 👇

Here’s the truth:
Most parents don’t need another restrictive diet or 2-hour workout plan.

What they need is a strategy that fits real life…one that works with their metabolism instead of against it.

That’s exactly what we will be teaching in our Metabolic Priming Masterclass:

✨ How to fuel your body (instead of starving it)
✨ Why shorter, smarter workouts get better results than endless cardio
✨ How to boost your metabolism naturally so your body stops fighting you
✨ The exact blueprint our clients use to lose 10–15 lbs and actually keep it off
This isn’t about bouncing back.
It’s about moving forward—feeling stronger, calmer, and more in control of your body again.

With over 100 full-ride scholarship applications…and a tense team debate…𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿!⁣
⁣
Drumroll please 📢

We have our scholarship winner. 🥹
Jessica showed incredible commitment and heart in her application. What resonated with us most was her deep desire to not just transform her physical health, but how much this could do for her mental health.

She’s officially joining Power Parent on a full scholarship!!

But here’s the thing…
The applications this round were unbelievable. We could’ve literally chosen 10 people to win and it was nearly impossible to choose.

So we’re awarding MORE partial scholarships than we initially planned! Because there are so many deserving parents out there.

Keep an eye on your DMs and texts…it might be YOU!

Thank you to everyone who applied. We’re so inspired by your stories and can’t wait to share more ways to support you on your journey 😊 🙏
