How Priti Became the Mom Who Can Do Push-Ups and Chin-Ups Again

Priti couldn’t do a single push-up the day she joined KMAK. Not even one regular push-up. 

She always had to drop to her knees to get any reps out, but even that was a struggle. For someone who used to crush Orangetheory classes five times a week and finished the entire Insanity program, this was a wake-up call Priti couldn’t ignore.

But after two pregnancies back-to-back Priti was getting frustrated that her midsection weight wouldn’t budge, her arms felt weak, and her energy was permanently shot. Finding even one uninterrupted hour to work out with two young kids at home felt impossible most days.

She hadn’t worked out consistently since the summer of 2022. So, the longer she went without training, the harder it felt to start again. 

But the frustration wasn’t just about how she looked. Priti also wanted the strength to do a pull-up, the muscle tone to look like a super-mom in her bathing suit, and the non-stop energy needed to keep up with her kids. This was far more than just dropping a few pounds.

The issue was that between her dietary restrictions and not knowing what workouts to do anymore, she felt stuck on how to achieve any of that. Priti needed laser guidance that wasn’t confusing, and a structure that was simple but strict enough to get back on track. More importantly, she needed to learn how to maintain her progress long term without feeling like her life was plunged into chaos every time things got busy.

However, like many before her, Priti had real concerns about signing up for online coaching. What if she didn’t communicate well with her KMAK coach? What if her coach didn’t really understand her goals? Because a lot of coaches only know how to get people leaner. They don’t always understand the deeper issues at hand, like turning a program into a manageable lifestyle.

Deep down, Priti worried that having an online coach would mean someone just dictating to her and giving her a cookie-cutter plan, without taking into account her real-life limitations.

And even if all of that was considered, what about her time-poor lifestyle? Priti was often lucky to get a free, uninterrupted hour to work out, which rarely happened with two young kids. The fear of investing time and money into something that might not work kept her hesitant. 

The alternative, however, was being stuck where she was, watching her strength decline further, feeling more exhausted, and losing more time being the energetic mom she wanted to be for her kids.

The Turning Point

When Priti started working with her expert KMAK coach, Vicki, the first thing that surprised her was how solution-oriented everything was.

For instance, she had dietary restrictions that could have been a roadblock. But instead of treating them like a problem, her coach worked with whatever challenges came up and found ways around them. It was never about what Priti couldn’t do. It was about figuring out what she could do and building from there.

The program taught her fundamentals she could use for the rest of her life. This wasn’t some short-term challenge or crash diet that would end in a few weeks. It was about fitting fitness into whatever type of lifestyle she had, even when that lifestyle included two young kids and barely any free time.

Priti learned how to meal prep so she wasn’t cooking every single day. She figured out how to fit in workouts when she only had small pockets of time instead of waiting for that elusive, uninterrupted hour. 

The communication and accountability she worried about turned out to be one of the biggest game-changers. Her coach understood her goals and worked with her through every obstacle that came up.

Building Back What She Thought Was Gone

Priti lost 24 pounds. But the number on the scale was never the real victory.

She went from not being able to do a single push-up to knocking out 20 regular push-ups and feeling good about it. She can do chin-ups now, something that seemed impossible just months ago. The empowering feeling of building real strength gave her something she never got from other fitness programs she’d tried in the past.

She became the strong, energetic mom she dreamed of being. The mom who can run around with her kids without getting winded. The mom who’s building a foundation of strength that will last for the rest of her life, not just until the next time life gets busy and everything falls apart again.

She’s working out three to four times a week now and maintaining it. She knows that working out helps her mentally, and she’s committed to continuing that long-term. She’s keeping the baby weight off and getting stronger every week.

What mattered most was proving to herself that she could be physically strong again. That she didn’t have to accept weakness as her new normal just because she’d had two kids. That with the right guidance and structure, she could rebuild everything she thought she’d lost.
