In it, she is seen on a treadmill. Widerstom says in the video, “I don't want to be here. Want to be here, be here, but come anyways. I'm not homesick because I'm loving every minute here with our pierce, but time is weird. I've got enough in my system to feed a small horse. I miss my bed. I miss the people I care about. But the one thing that always makes me feel better is a gym. I'm going to walk for 10 minutes. I'm going to pick up something heavy, move it slow, move it well, and then go have breakfast with the rest of the gladiators. Lots of protein, lots of water, lots of coffee, and the world will be right again. Just didn't want you guys to think I was perfect.”

Buettner captioned the post, “Training recap 🤡😂 tweaked my back about 3 weeks ago, nothing serious but I’m annoyed at myself for doing it nonetheless because once it seizes up I work long hours standing and it is hard to get back to normal. An ongoing problem for me a couple times a year for the past several years. Anyways, @miketuchscherer has put less specific movements in my program to help me recover and also in the last couple weeks reintroduced squats and deadlifts using the @reactivetrainingsystems framework for doing that and so far it’s been working very well. I also got some advice and adjusted how I stand at work and it’s helping too.”
