Todo mundo tiene la idea de que aquellas personas dedicadas al fitness tienen un cuerpo tonificado y sí; pero también creemos que el tener un cuerpo fitness es sinónimo de un abdomen marcado y plano. Sin embargo, Sophie Allen, una joven que se está preparando para convertirse en entrenadora personal, ha publicado en su cuenta de Instagram una imagen del antes y después de comer y beber agua.

Happy Monday familia ☀️☀️ (or Sunday night) ? what did you get up to this weekend? It was so warm in Sydney I still can't believe this is winter ❤️. Sorry to my Melbs friends & fam for all the snaps I sent ?. I'm setting my intentions for the week ahead to keep myself accountable: ✖️5 days of training ✖️stick to my macros (I've been eating under them, still trying to get used to the higher cal!) ✖️5 mornings of meditation I'll check back in Friday and let you know how I went! What do you want to achieve this week? Comment below to keep yourself accountable and check back in on Friday with me! ✨✨✨ #wereinthistogether

Tras la imagen, sus seguidores en Instagram (donde tiene 130 mil), comenzaron a debatir al respecto. Allen dijo en la publicación lo siguiente:

“¿Qué es normal? Creo que lo normal está definido por cada uno de nosotros, pero si la mayoría de personas que experimentan lo que pasa en esta foto (algo que sí les pasa), entonces en muy normal”.

So many of you have been reaching out with the most beautiful messages since sharing more of these 'real' type photos??. If these help break the perception that most people have flat stomachs around the clock, then I'll continue to post them ??... even though they attract a lot of hate + strange comments (stay tuned for my stories on that later ? book to come!!). - So, what is normal? I believe normal is defined differently by everyone, but if the vast majority of people experience what's going on in these photos (which they do), then it's pretty normal! Whilst bloating + water retention, expanding of the stomach and that full feeling may be common, ☝? it can be related to a number of other things too - poor digestion, sensitivity to certain foods, water retention, your cycle, drinking water too closely to meal time, leaky gut etc... when we think of health, gut health is KING ??. Bad gut = bad digestion, not absorbing nutrients from all that good food you're consuming "you aren't what you eat, you are what you digest" YES ???. - Shoutout if you experience this too? Let's me normal, or abnormal together.. however you perceive it! ???⚡️⚡️

La joven también hizo énfasis en que después de un día de trabajo, el maquillaje no es lo único que cambia; sino también nuestro cuerpo y que a veces podemos pensar que no avanzamos en nuestro objetivo por no tener siempre el estómago plano. Esto con la intención de entender nuestro cuerpo y dejar atrás los pensamientos que nos desmotivan a seguir entrenando o incluso manteniendo una dieta. ¿Te ha pasado?

Despite sporting a drool covered face, I'm feeling classy AF (saliva an all) cause I'm wearing my @danielwellington timepiece, thanks DW! My code is still valid - 'SOPHACTIVELIFE' for 15% off if you wanna be as classy as me, donut in hand is mandatory… Safe to say my love for donuts has been peaking atm ?? is it winter, is it pregnancy cravings (lol jk), or is it the fact that I'm holding a golden gaytime donut in my hand.. idk but I'm salivating whilst writing this. Certainly something I will never deprive myself of, I have a real big sweet tooth and I luurve chocolate so I'd never not allow myself to eat the things that make me smile ?? ? what's something you'll never deprive yourself of? #danielwellington #DWclassicpetite #ad
