2 jobs as a cleaner, 19,000 steps every day: How to keep your body healthy in a smart way.

about

My name is Christina, I am 39 years old, and my life in Britain is not a picture from Pinterest.

She is a teenage daughter, studying at the British Open University and walking 19,000 steps every day while working two jobs as a cleaner.

my approach

Strength through mind, not through exhaustion

My approach is based on three pillars:

Evidence-based science + Real-life experience + Understanding of female nature. I don’t offer magic pills, I give tools that I test on myself every day.

What I do

I study the complex science of biochemistry and physiology, filter it through my own experience, and adapt it to the needs of the female body so that I can share with you only what really works in life.

Support for the body during intense physical activity.

Hard physical labour is not exercise, it is exhaustion of the body. I know this from my own experience, because I work two jobs and am very familiar with the feeling when my legs literally buzz after a shift.
I share how I support myself and how to choose the right exercises that strengthen rather than exhaust an already tired body. My goal is to help you balance your workload so that work does not destroy your health and your body has the resources to recover.

Synchronising training and life with the menstrual cycle.

For a long time, I trained ‘like everyone else’ until I discovered the work of Dr. Stacey Sims while taking a course at the British Open University. It turned out that almost all fitness programmes are designed by men for men. But we are not ‘little men’. We have a different metabolism and cycle, which changes everything. I am learning to listen to my body and share what I have tested in practice: how to adapt exercise to hormones so that you don’t burn out, but become stronger.

Stress management and recovery (Perceived Stress).

War, relocation, physical labour, responsibility for a child — this is not just fatigue, it is a strain on every cell. I am not offering theoretical advice on ‘being less nervous’. I’m sharing real recovery tools that help me balance two jobs and studying. It’s about how to signal to your nervous system that ‘you’re safe’ so that your body can rest even with just a few hours of sleep.

Smart eating as fuel, not restriction.

Food ceased to be my enemy or ‘calories’ when I started studying biology at university. Now I see it as fuel that helps me endure 19,000 steps per shift and keep my mind clear for learning. I share my approach to nutrition without diets or restrictions: how to feed your body according to its type so that you have energy for life, not just survival.
