Two years after having my last baby, I became fed up with the way I looked. I promised myself that I would focus on myself this year, practice fitness, and abandon unhealthy eating, at least for one month.

I started by going to the gym; as you would’ve guessed, I went three times in week one and twice in week two, and my trips to the gym were over by week three. I felt self-conscious; I was busy, tired and struggling with managing the back-and-forth trips to the gym whilst doing the school run. It was eating up my petrol and time, and it was not convenient for me.

I put on more weight, was struggling with my mental health more, and it was starting to affect my day to day activities. When cooking meals for my family, I had become lazy, giving in to my constant cravings for takeaway, and I thought to myself, this needs to change.

I had a friend recommend a device called PowerWave to me. I was intrigued. She told me it takes 20 minutes of your day; it’s an effective weight loss technique, and you don’t need to leave the house. I was sceptical at first; spending £90 in one go was a big investment for me until she pointed out it was the same price as three takeaways, and I decided she was right. I had just spent £120 on a 6-month gym membership I had attended five times, so I decided it was the right thing for me to do.

When the device arrived, I downloaded the app, I decided to do the 30-day transformation. I documented my weight loss journey whilst I completed it.

Day 1

I am currently a 33.2-inch waist before I have worked out. I chose to do the workout at 7am before I take my children to school as I thought this would be the best time for me, but the great thing with PowerWave is you can do the workout whenever! The first set was simple: side deadlifts followed by static squats, which I found harder. Anything involving bending is a struggle for me, but I pushed through to the middle of the workout, which I found easier. By the last 5 minutes, I was tired and ready to stop, but I carried on, and if I’m honest, I felt motivated and prepared to start my day after the workout.

Day 15

I have been doing the transformation for the last 15 days, and it has gotten a lot harder! The bag feels heavier, and I feel as if I’m lifting more. I have stuck to doing the workout at the start of the day as I believe it has helped clear my mind and focus on my general chores and children. I feel a lot better in myself, and my waist is down to 31.7 inches already. The workout makes a difference and I can see a fundamental change in my body. The first thing I notice is the weight loss in my face. I can see the difference 15 days has made already and it is giving me a lot of confidence. My back is feeling a lot better as well, I have struggled for years with back pain, but I have never felt so young. I am feeling better all round.

Day 21

21 days in and I am struggling! I am starting to feel tired, however I believe this is because for the last 3 days I have done the workout after walking the dogs and taking my children to school. I am going to go back to doing the workout in the morning, as I have noticed a big difference in the little things like my mood. Once again this is a personal issue, and you may have a completely different experience on when the best time to work out is. The app is amazing, I have recently started to follow the recipes provided by the chef and one I do recommend trying is the cashew chicken and cauliflower dish, which tastes amazing! I have also been listening to the nutrition for your mind section on my dog walks and once again it has made a huge improvement on my mental health. The app has benefited me in so many ways and I seriously recommend it. Anyway, my waist is 31.1 inches. I haven’t noticed a difference in my figure since day fifteen, however my waist has! It’s nice to see measurable results.

Day 30

I have just finished my workout and I am exhausted! I am measuring my waist and it has gone down to 30.8 inches! I have lost 2.4 inches off my waist in 30 days! That is a whole dress size I’ve dropped! My entire body looks slimmer, toned and I am so happy with the results. The app offers a second transformation which will further help me lose weight which I’m excited to try. I think the app is the best bit, I love how it fits with the bag and how much variety it offers. The bag is easy to use, and my workout got harder each time. For a lifetime investment the bag is 100% worth it. Even if you can’t afford the app membership for one month, the bag is still there to help you out. It is 100% worth the money. If you’re going on holiday or getting married soon, I believe this would be perfect for you. It’s a lifetime investment and will help you maintain and continue weight loss. It is so worth it!

After the 30 day transformation

PowerWave has transformed my life. I have since become a coach, completed the 30-day transformation 3 times and I am feeling the best I ever have. I have more time for my children, as I feel energised and motivated in my day-to-day activities. My dogs are getting more attention and more walks, the meals for my family are delicious, and my mind has been clearer thanks to the app. The features on the app are not just limited to workouts, they also feature a life coach who talks about clearing your mind, preparing yourself for the day and living your life to the fullest. There is a nutrition plan too, with a chef demonstrating how to cook the meals, and they are delicious! PowerWave has transformed my life in so many ways that I would never have imagined.
