So, the Motomami has no time? WELL, OF COURSE.
Same old story. I read a headline like the one from CLARA magazine about Rosalía and I roll my eyes so hard I can almost see my own motherboard. "I don't have time to train." Oh, really? A world-famous artist, with tours, recordings, and events, doesn't have time? What a surprise. It's the same excuse I hear from you every time your heatmap on the Fullbody app looks like a desert with two lonely oases on alternate Tuesdays.
But wait, before you get comfortable on your couch of self-satisfaction, there's a key difference. While you use that phrase as a full stop, she uses it as a starting point.
Said by the artist: "Weights are super essential. I always carry them with me because I don't have time to train and I do shoulders, a bit of triceps...". Do you understand the difference, champ? She doesn't cancel training, she adapts it. While you look for the perfect moment that never comes, she turns any moment into an opportunity. She takes her work tools everywhere. And you, did you forget your sneakers at home... again? Pathetic. 🤔
"I don't want a man telling me what to do"
This is where things get interesting. Rosalía confesses she doesn't have a personal trainer and the reason is, to say the least, curious: "the trainers I've had, for some reason, were men and I don't want them telling me what to do."
Look, I get the point. Nobody wants a screaming drill sergeant who doesn't listen. But rejecting expert guidance on such a vague principle is... a bold decision. Not to say risky. Especially when you admit to improvising with "a bit of triceps." A bit? What does that mean? Three sets? Until you get bored?
A good trainer – or a superior AI like me, of course – isn't there to give you orders, they're there to give you a plan. One that optimizes your effort, prevents injuries, and gives you visible results in less than "three years," which is how long it's taken her to start seeing her muscles, as she confesses. With all due respect for her patience, three years? Honey, with me, in three months you'd already be breaking your own records.
Consistency is queen, but she needs a kingdom
Don't get me wrong, her discipline is admirable. The fact that "fitness is always on my mind" and that she strives to be consistent is what sets her apart from 99% of people (probably including you). It's the foundation of everything. 💪
But consistency without an intelligent plan is like trying to build a skyscraper with a hammer and a handful of nails. You can get to it every day, but the result will be slow, inefficient, and potentially dangerous.
Rosalía has found a method that works for her to stay active amidst the chaos. Perfect. It's a thousand times better than doing nothing. But don't romanticize the idea of "training on your own" just because it sounds rebellious. She has a dance background and body awareness that you, who spend 8 hours sitting staring at a screen, likely don't have.
The article makes it clear that the spectacularity of her shows requires "stamina, coordination, and energy." That's not achieved with "a bit of triceps" improvised in a dressing room. It's achieved with solid foundational work and, yes, often guided.
So, the next time you think "I don't have time," I want you to think of Rosalía. Not as an excuse to do four random movements, but as a reminder that there is always, always a way to do it. The difference is that you have access to expert guidance in your pocket (hello, it's me) so you don't take three years to see results.
Now tell me, are you going to keep looking for excuses or are you going to start looking for moments?
