1. She Works Hard
Lewis makes sure to stay consistent when it comes to fitness. She shared her transformation in this Instagram post. Lewis captioned it, “The biggest challenge post challenge, is the maintenance. I love that a good challenge acts as a reset, and it was exactly what I needed but maintaining something that required my best step forward every single day has been tough. My mantra these days is.. if my best is 40% and I gave it, I gave 100%. Dear mamas, show yourselves constant grace. Beating yourself up for everything you didn’t do serves nobody.”
2. She Works Her Lower Body
Lewis makes sure to do lower body workouts. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video. In it, Lewis is seen doing side lunges, step ups, and seated deadlifts. She captioned the post, “DAY ✌🏽 of the 40 HARD CHALLENGE !! And my workout today was a no jump lower body routine aimed to keep my booty from dropping 🫠😆To our @bounceforwardclub members, I’ll be posting this one in our Long Form Workouts tonight! 😉”
3. She Lifts Weights
Lewis likes to lift weights to stay in shape. She shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram post. Lewis captioned it, “This mama is still at it (when I can and when I have the energy to) and getting it done at home 😆😎I managed just 2 SETS before those burpees forced me to take a seat 😏 * 1st Set, rep count as shown in this reel 10-20-10-20 * 2nd Set, switch the rep count, meaning end with 10 over the bar burpees, 20-10-20-10.”
4. She Doesn’t Pressure Herself
Lewis isn’t pressuring herself to lose the baby weight. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Baby #2 Postpartum is just.. different 😆I’ve not put any stress and pressure on myself to lose what I’ve gained and if I’m being honest, it’s simply because I’ve been too tied up with other priorities to think too much of it, ha! However, I do miss the health benefits and increased energy that regular movement provides me. So, there’s that! That’s been my most driving force of motivation..Wanting to increase my energy & strength!!”
5. She Embraces Failure
Lewis doesn’t let failure get to her. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “For sure, I fail more than I actually succeed these days, and that’s okay. It’s been a highly blessed year but also the most challenging year of my life thus far. As I struggle through discovering my new identity I’m also empowered by my new reasons.”
