Sweet sweat waist trainer/belt

Has anyone tried it and noticed a drastic difference vs a regular waist belt? I have a generic one I got on Amazon and it makes me sweat a good amount. Just wondering if anyone likes the SS more? Ps I know they don’t eliminate fat but the excess sweat does burn more calories and I’ll take that!

Clapham/Brixton mums meet up!

Hey guys, I am new to the area. I’m Irish and I was thinking of organising a brunch for a couple of us mums to meet up. Easier than trying to organise individually! Let me know if you’d be up for lunch around Clapham Common, perhaps a Friday or Saturday soon.

Favorite Pilates workout on YouTube

Does anyone have a favorite Pilates workout on YouTube? I want to start working out again. I would like to lose fat, and tone everything. I want to see what all the hype is with Pilates but don’t know where to start. I really like Lucy Wyndham-Read but I’m not sure if that is Pilates or not.

Sore and feel stuck

I just came back from a week off. I come to the gym 3-4 days a week and do legs, push and pull. And I’m starting out slow. But I just feel like I’m stuck and there’s soreness in my back and upper body that I don’t know how to get relief. Would a massage or stretches or what would yall suggest?! TIA!! 🤗
