This Is Why My Process Never Fails

Many moons ago,

I was training my butt off to reach my goal
of getting on stage at the WBFF Pro Worlds.

I had been a professional athlete for many years.

Training was second nature, and
I was no stranger to nutrition and counting macros.

But the training I embarked on for this competition
was something completely new.

Believe me when I say I’ve tried every trick in the book.

And what I learnt,
as I succeeded in becoming a world champion,
is that there are no tricks…

Just a solid and proven process.

A combination of:

a process of transformation and personal mastery.

This process worked for me,
it’s worked for hundreds of women I’ve trained across the world,
and it will work for you.

(If you’re willing to put in the work.)

I’m pretty confident in saying that my process? Is flawless.

But…

It’s not going to be the same for everyone.
Because every mind, body and spirit is different.

What works for someone else, may or may not work for you.

The solution?

That’s where amazing coaches come in.

-A good coach teaches the essentials to training and getting in shape.

-An amazing coach understands their client and tailors aspects of a proven process to the uniqueness of each woman.

Our amazing coaches are here for results.

If you’re ready to level up,
(which I know you are)

If your head is already in the game,
(if you’re reading this email, it is)

If you’re waiting for an invitation to start,

Here it is.

You can jump on a call with one of my amazing coaches this week to start the process.

Book your call at this link.

If you’re successful

- because the Sports Model Project is only for the hardest worker in the room -

you’ll be talking with me directly next week.

Love & light,

Fast Fashion Freaked Me Out

So a year ago the idea for creating a sustainability collection with Muscle Nation using recycled materials started.

I really care about the environment and I felt like I was not doing what I could with my platform to help drive change in the world. So I had the idea for using my range with Muscle Nation to start to change the way we make and consume clothes.

That idea turned into a conversation and a collaboration to make it happen.

The team got to work and after trialling, testing multiple fabrics we found one that suited the brief.

Not only is it made from recycled materials, the fabric is soft, it’s very comfortable and durable!

The Leggings and Bike Shorts in this collection are crafted from 75% Recycled Polyester, along with the main fabric of the Bralettes. In addition, the Cropped Mesh Tanks in this collection are crafted from 85% Recycled Polyamide.

It’s crazy to think this crop and collection had a completely different life span before being turned into this material (literally wearing a water bottle on my chest).

To further support the recycling movement, orders will arrive to customers in our brand new 100% compostable packaging and postage satchels. Furthering the positive steps we are taking as a brand in 2021 to be more environmentally conscious.

The HBXMN sustainability collection has been launched.

The HBxMN Collection marks the launch of our brand new fabrics, made with recycled yarns.

Each item in this collection is crafted from an element of recycled fabric. The use of recycled fabrics, such as Recycled Polyester, helps reduce landfill and conserve raw materials.

Recycled Polyester is made from consumer waste and recyclable materials, such as plastic bottles which have been collected, sorted by colour, and then melted down and formed into chips. These chips are also called ‘flakes’. These chips or flakes are then sent to spinning mills where they are melted down and turned into yarn to create new fabric.

To further support the recycling movement, orders will arrive to customers in our brand new 100% compostable packaging and postage satchels. furthering the positive steps we are taking as a brand in 2021 to be more environmentally conscious.

Big Things Come From Small Beginnings

A thought becomes a conversation.

A conversation becomes action.

An action becomes a process.

Well over a year ago, the idea for creating a sustainability collection with Muscle Nation using recycled materials started.

That idea turned into a conversation and a collaboration to make it happen.

The team got to work and after trialling, testing multiple fabrics we found one that suited the brief. 

Not only is it made from recycled materials, the fabric is soft, it’s very comfortable and durable!

Furthering the positive steps we are taking as a brand in 2021 to be more environmentally conscious.

Proud is an understatement for this collection and my amazing team, community, family for backing my values, my ideas and creating this amazing collection with me.

Collection to be released this January, stay tuned!

The BIG Upgrade To My Training For The WBFF

For many years I didn't train my abs.

Out of all the body parts there is to train, abs is my least favourite

The only time l enjoy training them is when I can see them. 🙂

However, in preparing for the WBFF World Titles I’ve given them a priority. I also made any rehab, priority. I wasn't allowed to do the "fun" stuff 'til the foundation work was done or pre lifting activation work.

Funny enough, once I found my routine, I really enjoyed doing it because I could feel and see the results. In the past, if I was time poor, I would skip past the pre-lifting work and the abs (because they were always done at the end) and my excuse was that the other work was priority.

Incorrect!

This year I made time and effort to get it all done.

The results?

Well, a much greater and better looking abdominal wall.

Not once this year have I had back pain of any kind during my training which used to be a recurring thing that would happen.  I stuck to the basics: plank, side plank and dish work in, plus some flexion and extension work.

This is by far the best my body has moved and felt.

Who would have thought putting time and effort to the foundation work makes all the difference!

There is a big lesson here, you are never too advanced to be doing the basics really well, but sometimes you can get advanced and forget that. 😉

It’s crazy because I build foundational work in for all of my girls in The Sports Model Project.

And I’m glad because it’s so worth it.

Crazy, Sexy, Cool

When I was little, my sister and I loved to transform into TLC.

Emma would be T-Boz and I would be Left-eye, dancing around the living room, singing into imaginary microphones. 

So I love Crazy, Sexy, Cool it's my second favorite album 
(Aaliyah will always be #1)

I also recognise "crazy, sexy, cool" perfectly describes Julia,
one of my amazing Sports Model Project girls. 

Here is Julia's story.
Hi, my name is Julia, and this is my SMP story, a story that has changed me and my life.

This January 2019 marked 1 year of me being a part of a strong, powerful and loving tribe.

I have always been active, since I was a 4-year-old kid I was into dancing, swimming, and skiing. I never was overweight, but neither was I skinny.

At the age of 22, I started doing CrossFit and from skinny 47 kg I turned into a fit 55 kg girl and I absolutely loved that change.

But I exhausted myself with workouts and training that after 9 months of nonstop activities: CrossFit, running, gym and then my body crashed.

Then for the next 6 – 7 months, I didn’t do anything but cardio…. I got kind of obsessed with it. But looking back now I realize that even though I religiously did it every day I didn't get results…?

I had neither an amazing physique, no muscles…nor a good feeling of achieving and improving…

I started to do bodybuilding style training almost 3 years ago….
I competed 3 times in these 3 years. 

The first two competitions and preps were totally different from my recent one with SMP in October 2018. Long story short, 8 months prior to joining SMP and after 2 of my comps I didn't look or feel good.

I trained, I tracked macros, I didn’t have any cheat meals and I was still obsessed with cardio but nothing was moving, and my body was always inflamed.

My coach at that time blamed it on the dairy! 

I love dairy so much but I stopped eating it for 6 months. All I had was plant-based milk in my coffee. And nothing changed even after. Then he found something else to blame it on….

So in my head cardio was the only thing that could keep me more or less fit and I thought as soon as I stop I will get fat it's also worth mentioning that I was dancing on top of all the gym and cardio and I ate nowhere close to enough.
I was feeling depressed for the good 8 months.. hating my body….didn’t enjoy dressing up and always tried to cover it up.

Because of this wrong approach I was so hung up on cardio that for me in SMP this was the hardest challenge – to stop it and start eating more. 

I love food but I was afraid to eat – how screwed up is that??? 
Suffering every day and being afraid to enjoy life and simply have a piece of cake? 

Of course, sometimes it leads to me eating a chocolate bar and feeling so guilty about it. This feeling is also not a nice one…consumes you… I needed a change!!!

I was tired of being unhappy with my body…. I needed someone I can relate to, someone I can trust, someone who has been there, who can guide and teach me, that was the moment SMP came into my life which by the way was a miracle, thank you Universe and law of attraction)
The first thing Hattie told me was that I was not eating enough, and I was doing too much exercise.

That was a recurring theme by now and so I decided “I am trusting every word she says…I trust her and her team knowledge and I am going to do what she says…. Otherwise, what is the point.? I already did it the other way.

Since I was a small kid I always needed to be first. The best. I always tried to be the best for my mom and make her proud. Be the best for my teachers to make them proud and I always was competitive. So for me being a part of the team, representing someone as Hattie was an honor and I decided that I will make her proud and I won’t fail, because I cant. Failure wasn’t and isn’t an option.

Needless to say, 10 next month leading to my first wbff show was INCREDIBLE! Taking a leap of faith was the best decision in my life….. I stopped doing cardio!! At all. for 8 months…carbs came back into my life… I started to love my body because it was changing for the better and I loved it.

My goal was and still is – to have the body I love (not the other ppl or judges at the show) to have the body I have in my mind and body I feel comfortable in for me it is about being strong, fit and toned.
How did I change…?

I have experienced a 180 degrees turn in mindset, physique and in how I see the world, how I react to things how I accept challenges and hardships.

It might sound silly to someone but this is not just a Weight loss program for 99.99% it is alife changing opportunity …but! There is one big BUT: it will only work WHEN you stop making excuses, when you stop blaming someone else for problems in your life, when you start taking responsibility for your own actions, when you stop being a victim. OWN your life. Create your future (as cliché as it sounds)

Hattie and team can only do that much, they give us tools, help, support, knowledge but you have to put in work.
A lot of work. And I did. I am very organized and disciplined and I was ready.
Of course, it is impossible to be full-on 365 days a year and only with Hattie and her team I learned how not to beat myself up for it, how to LEARN from it, how to use it for the better and how to move on!!!!

That realisation was incredibly enlightening!!! 

I realized that I don’t have to be unhappy, or depressed or guilty…I only have to be compliant, honest to myself, consistent and most important coachable!

During this year my life went from good to better and so many things happened that I could have only dreamed of!!!! 
And the biggest thing is now I know – I can have everything I want, and I can be who I want to be. 

But you have to let go of the negativity and bitterness…. Accept your failures…. Do the work and move on…Hattie…what I can say… - SHE is the woman behind all these changes….. she is an angel… I don’t know what words I can use to describe her.
 
I don’t know where she gets the strength and the power to help all of us and be the light that she is…? I can't find words to describe how she makes me feel, when I speak to her on the phone…and especially when I saw her in Australia for the first time….She gives you this warm feeling …as you feel when you hug a mom.

She makes you feel calm and empowered… she makes you feel superhuman. 

Hattie lights up the room!!! 

I want to hug her all the time and I want her to know how I appreciate all she does, how grateful I am that she puts so much time in us…. It is unbelievable

But Hattie is not the only one I want to thank. There are Caterina and Nick. Nick is part of the brains behind it and I can honestly say that it won't be the same if he wasn’t there…He never sugar coats anything and this is so sweet!

He wakes you up and makes you face the reality which is not the best all the time. He makes you do the work and makes you realize what you doing wrong and step by step he helps you to free yourself up from all the excuses you been making all the time.
I can’t say anything more but that I love you with all my heart and I will be forever grateful for this experience, which I believe the Universe sent me to fulfill my potential and I know that each and every woman there is capable of this. 

Don’t try, don’t see, just do it. 

Thanks Julia! I'm so proud of you and how far you have come.
I love the energy you put into dancing and training and your whole life!

Are you ready? Is it your turn to experience what Julia has?

The Power Law You Must Use To Get Killer Results.

The last two months of my training have been very much strength focused.
There is only a small window of the year where this can be my focus.

I have been doing the least amount of training I think I have ever done in my life..
However I have still maintained the number one rule for results.

This rule has allowed me to progress in all my lifts whether it has been to add weight to the bar and/or add reps which has resulted in me hitting new PB’s every second week.

This is what I can achieve using Progressive Overload: the power rule,
and
by doing the bare minimum.

Get ready to see what I can achieve when I take it to another level ... It’s coming

PB 140kg (308lbs) x 2 x 2

I’ve hit 140kg for singles twice in my life.
Today I managed to get out 5 reps.

Warm up 140kg x 1Top set 145kg x1 - I haven’t hit this number since 2017
Then 140kg x 2 x 2 sets PB
Then 120kg (double my body weight) x 8 reps
My aim is to hit double my body weight x 10 reps

Often when women are asking me how I have attained elite strength and body composition they assume that it’s all from heavy lifting that to get in shape you need to be pushing big weights.

They also assume that to push big weights on the squat you just… keep pushing big weights and thats what they are doing day in and day out without always making a heap off progress. They feel like if they just try harder and harder they will get there. Until they don’t and their progress stalls or they get injured.

But Hattie, I see you pushing heavy weights all the time, isn’t that what I should do?

The truth is a little more complicated.
Your body is series of interconnections. When you squat, load goes through all of those connections.

It’s not just your glutes and quads working but its the ligaments in your feet, its the cartridge in your rib cage it’s the muscles inn your shoulder blades it’s your calf which are keeping you upright it’s all of the muscles bones and ligaments in your body, it your blood vessels and heart as your blood pressure shoots up under all that load (it’s even the veins in your eyes)

All of that force is distributed through your body and If you have muscular imbalances or a lack of strength in one spot, another spot will start to get beaten up. So if your calves are weak your back will get sore or if your hamstring are tight you will beat up your knees and a thousand other possibilities (your body is an amazing adaptation machine)

Do you know whats crazy about the numbers I’m pushing right now?

I have completely dropped back the amount of squatting I am doing in fact I’m doing a whole heap of single leg exercises and working on muscular imbalances that means that when I’m hitting the gym and going for the big numbers all of my muscles are synchronised in their efforts and I can drive the bar better.

So how do you get stronger in the squat? What is the right combination of load, technique and muscular balance?

Well technique is everything and load is king.

Which means that to move a big weight you must practice perfectly every time. You must also be adding weight progressively to the bar but this progression can be was slow as you like.

However to perform perfect technique and for your body to accept load you must have developed balance between all of the muscles in your body. Think of developing strength in the squat as a stool with three legs. Technique, load and muscular balance. Without any of legs eventually the stool will topple over (and so will you, literally)

So to help you I have developed a workout planner that will give you a really good guide to the types of exercises you could select to develop muscular balance.

It's the foundations of all the workouts we put together for our girls.  Click the link below, enter your details and we'll send it right out.
