This is the last week before my photoshoot on Monday. I am looking forward to sending you some pictures 🙂

Here is a progress pic. I am getting there. I still need around 6 weeks before my abs start to really pop. I wonder if I can get them as good as they were before my 2 c-sections???

I am proud of how far I have come since having Gianluca 10 months ago. I used to think that people were just using excuses when they said losing fat from the second baby is a lot harder than the first, but it’s true.

With Milia, my body was in good shape a lot faster. With Gianluca, it’s taken a  lot longer and my stomach is still not great, although this time I added some muscle to my legs that I am very happy about.

Here are your workouts this week. I kept the leg workouts pretty much the same since I have been seeing great results with them.

    You are DEFINITELY Overtraining your Shoulders!!! They will never have any muscle or shape on them

  • Natalie says:

    Flavia. I’ve bought all your programmes and I love the look of this one especially as I’ve had 2 sections like you…. Can you post a video of how to perform them properly please. If I google the names of the exercises there’s lots of variations!!!!
    Thanks so much. Natalie

    • Anna says:

      Hi Natalie,
      Thank you! Videos should be coming back in the near future but until then as long as you are putting in the work, if the variation is aa little different than intended it isn’t a huge deal. If there is a specific exercise that you are particularly confused about let me know and I’ll be happy to help 🙂
      All the best!

    Flavia – Just a quick question about getting abs. What is your body fat % in the above posted picture? Last year I was down to 16% body fat was still unable to get abs like that. Wondering if there is any truth to there is a genetic component to getting abs.

    • Flavia says:

      Hey Kristen – I was 12.5% body fat for curvalicious. My guess is that I am around 14-15%. I think under 14% you’ll see abs and 14% is a safe fat percentage to maintain.I don’t think genetic plays a part other than the shape of your abs. I believe you still have to work on them to have them pop but when you get low enough you’ll see some – they’re there but if you do work them just like other muscles they will be more defined. I worked them hard 5 days a week for 8 weeks for the pics in curvalicious. I only recently started doing abs again so I’d say maybe 3 weeks of abs and not a lot of exercises either. I could for sure step it up!

  • Lisa says:

    Newbie here… Just wondering…
    When you say 100 reps each…does that mean instead of doing 12-14 reps then 10-12 reps, 8-10 reps on the same exercise?? Did I miss understand?
