I am Anna. Mum of two. This is the whole thing, including the parts I am not proud of.
Not because anyone put me there. I did it myself, every morning, without noticing.
I am a mum of two. For a long time my life belonged to my children, my house, and a list of things that never got shorter. Looking after my own body was the thing I kept moving to next week.
Later. When things calm down. When I have more time.
At 40 I heard the word cancer. Everything I had been holding together stopped mattering in about a second. The schedules, the expectations, the pressure to cope.
The hardest part was not the diagnosis. It was being a mum, trying to stay steady for my children while feeling completely broken inside, and knowing how long I had ignored my own body.
You cannot pour from an empty cup. I had been trying to for years.
Treatment was hard. Some days getting out of bed was the whole achievement.
It did not start as fitness. It started as ten minutes of gentle movement, sometimes twenty. I added breathwork and I learned to actually listen to my body instead of pushing through it.
Week by week something shifted. My energy came back slowly. I felt present again. And for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was breathing.
That is also why I later filmed a gentler set, for women starting from nothing.
I did not bounce back. I rebuilt, slowly, between school runs and tired evenings and busy mornings.
Not to be perfect. Not to look like anyone on Instagram. Just to feel like myself again. Stronger, more present, and here.
Before any of this I followed other people's programs. I quit every one of them, and not because they were too hard. Because the exercises repeated week after week and I was bored out of my mind.
So when I started filming my own, I made one rule and I have never broken it. No two workouts are ever the same. That is why women finish mine.
Forty eight of them now, and not one of them repeats.
It wasn't my day. I think you could see I didn't have that energy. We all get those days, even me. It was so hard for me to even start. It took me around half an hour to press play. But I did it.
I could have filmed that one again on a better day. I left it in, because the half hour before you press play is the actual hard part, and I am not going to pretend it does not happen to me.
Rarely left the house. Put everyone else first. Started programs and quit them. Thought looking after myself was something to get to later, once things calmed down.
Films a workout in her living room most weeks. Nearly three million women follow along. Still nowhere near perfect, and no longer trying to be.
Just started back but I like the simplicity of the exercises shown. And knowing that Anna is a walking testimony of it working for her, then it should work for me too.
My mental health is better on the days I do the workout. I never skip them now. Even on a weekend the workout is the first thing I do.
I've been feeling stronger and much happier. I look forward to working out, which hasn't happened in years.
