Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of fad diets, intense workouts, and constant confusion about your health?

I’m Ams, and I created Trained because I see so many women feel confused about where to start, frustrated by workouts that don’t fit their lives, or stuck dealing with pain and injuries.

Here we focus on building strength purposefully, starting with foundations, movement, and confidence, so you can move free and live fully.

You don’t need extremes, you need a system that actually works. Using science-backed training, I make movement simple, effective, and tailored to your life. Whether you’re starting from scratch or rebuilding from burnout.
This isn’t about temporary motivation. This is about becoming the kind of person who chooses to show up. We train with purpose. We build with intention. And we make strength a lifestyle, not a phase.

If you’re ready to build strength that lasts, move without pain, and reclaim your body for life — you’re in the right place.

Follow along as I share tools, tips, and support to help you build your strongest foundation yet. taken in Harare, Zimbabwe by @trainedbyams

✨Episode 7✨
Things are ramping up just a little, but we’ve been preparing for this!

Lowering yourself from standing is all about control and requires a lot of more strength to not just flop down.

We’re coordinating under gravity.

✨Episode 6✨

Going through salaah, do you notice yourself moving quickly through sujood, not because you’re rushing but because it just feels uncomfortable

Sitting between sujood requires a lot from the hip, knee and ankle and if the body hasn’t built tolerance yet, you’ll find yourself rushing through

Rather than pushing through the discomfort, do these drills 2-3x a week max to strengthen up and not overload it

✨Episode 5✨

Sujood changes the breath because we’re compressing ourselves down. It shortens the breath and the body begins to tighten if we haven’t got mobility in our ribs and T-spine

To create space here, we’re heading into child’s pose and open books rotations to allow the ribs to expand both in stillness and in motion

I’m not saying your rukuh looks like one of these examples…but statistically speaking, it probably does.

Most of us learned to “bend forward,” so the spine ends up doing most of the work.

But rukuh is actually a hinge.
The movement starts at the hips.
The chest just follows.

Next time you bow, think: push the hips back.
No forcing a perfectly straight back. Just let the hips do what they were designed to do. Your lower back will quietly thank you.

✨Episode 2✨🌙

If your feet feel restless while standing, your body is searching for grounding.

The foot has a tripod:
• Heel
• Big toe base
• Little toe base

When pressure is balanced, the body softens.
Balance isn’t automatic.

It’s practiced.

✨Episode 1✨

If your lower back tightens or you find yourself shifting weight, that isn’t weakness. It’s undeveloped endurance and alignment.

Stillness requires:
• Low-level trunk control
• Rib–pelvis organisation
• Calm breathing

Build the capacity gently.

Five slow breaths a day is enough to begin.
Skill grows where attention goes.

Strength is not meant to live in the gym.
If it’s real, it should show up in the quiet parts of your day.

Standing.
Bowing.
Lowering.
Rising.
Salah is repeated movement.
Repeated movement reveals capacity.
Not to judge.
Not to correct.
But to inform.

This Ramadan, I’ll be exploring how strength, mobility, and control can support worship.
Because discipline includes the body.

If you’ve ever noticed certain movements feel harder than expected, this series is for you.
