The fitness influencer then goes onto reveal what she did to pull off the impressive results. She only made three changes to her lifestyle, and the results are super impressive.
Jo exaplined: “Reduced alcohol to 1 x a week. This made a drastic and positive impact on caloric intake, food choices and gut comfort. Sleep scores on my whoop on average are way better, yet still awful after any alcohol, even 1 glass.
“Cutting down on ultra processed foods. This has been huge for me. I’m still a sucker for sweets, but in general I have overhauled to make lots of meals from scratch, aim for whole foods and reduced takeaways – which works because less alcohol and all that.”

She continued: “The removal of gluten has also been huge for reduced inflammation, bloat, pain etc.
“The gym has accelerated my training significantly. I still exercise as frequently, but for longer sessions, close to double the time I’d do home workouts for in the past. This is only possible because now I am getting up 30 mins earlier.
“The kids are older now which helps so much, and I walk in every morning when they’re coming down for breakfast. Ps if you remember me sharing this back in March, this is the flexed before pic and flexed after pic (today).”
Since Jo shared the post, it’s been liked over 100 times, and people were quick to celebrate all her hard work. People think she looks “amazing”, and were keen to learn more about her career news too.
