Why We Lift: Strength Over Shapewear

Wonder Woman said it best: Real Abs. Real Booty. No Shapewear Needed.

Diana Prince:
"Is this what passes for armor in your country?"

Etta Candy:
"Well, it's fashion. Keeps our tummies in."

Diana (dead serious):
"Why must you keep them in?"

Etta (matter-of-fact):
"Only a woman with no tummy would ask that question."

This scene from the 2017 Wonder Woman movie? It hit me right in the soul. I don’t know about you, but I want to be just like Diana — strong, fearless, confident… and, NO JIGGLE!

In my own 2023 year of transformation, I learned something powerful: lifting weights doesn’t just change your body — it changes your mind. The stronger you get physically, the more unstoppable you feel. Powerful. Limitless. Unshakeable.

And the best part? It’s easier than you think.

This is exactly what I’ll be sharing with you here on Hot Flashy & Sassy.

Why We Lift:

Lifts the girls back where they belong.
→ Because gravity’s not the boss of your curves.

Buh-bye bat wings.
→ Strong, sleek arms are the new accessory.

Shapes a strong back and kicks bra bulge to the curb.
→ No more fighting with your bra band — I’ve got your back.

Forget the Hunchback of Notre Dame — we’re built to stand tall.
→ Posture on point. Confidence unstoppable.

Keeps that mom pooch in check.
→ Because we sculpt from the inside out.

Girdles? Wonder Woman called — she said, “I’ve got abs”.
→ Real abs and booty > fake shapewear. Always.

How We Are Going To Do It:

  • Strength Training → Builds curves and burns fat

  • Pilates Core Work → Cinches the waist and flattens the lower belly

  • Mobility & Yoga → Keeps you flexible and fierce

  • Pelvic Floor Work → Because leaks are NOT the vibe

  • Walking → Gentle cardio for mind, body, and soul

And Don’t Forget the Extras:

It’s not just about lifting weights — it’s about lifting your whole vibe. Alongside the workouts, we’ll focus on:

  • Mindset & Mental Strength → Because confidence starts between your ears.

  • Journaling & Reflection → Putting pen to paper to release stress and celebrate wins.

  • Daily Self-Care → From skincare to sleep, the little rituals that keep you glowing.

  • Gut Health & Nourishment → Fueling your body so your workouts and digestion work with you, not against you.

  • Posture & Posing Practice → Because standing tall and moving with grace makes all the difference (and the camera loves it).

Because when you train your body and your mind, you don’t just look stronger — you become unstoppable.

Repeat Weekly. Live Daily.

This isn’t a challenge. This is your new normal.
No corsets. No shapewear. Just strength and sass.
