1000 days of breastfeeding! (And 298 tandem feeding…). So far..!!

Here are some things I wish I’d known before I started! Buckle up, it’s a long one. But worth reading if you are ever thinking you might like to try!

Jump squats build explosive power, strength, and muscular endurance while also providing a cardiovascular workout that burns a significant number of calories.

It’s what’s called a plyometric exercise and it works muscles in the glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings.

Better still, it improves balance, coordination, and overall athletic performance.

Jump squats also strengthen bones because they are weight bearing, and when done in intervals, can improve your stamina and burn calories at a fantastic rate.

I just love an exercise that packs in a whole heap of benefits in one go and can be done quickly, anywhere and at any time!

Labours pledge to decrease the cost of formula is so way off the mark it’s ridiculous.

-What we need is our doctors, nurses and midwives to be better educated and able to support woman to breast feed.

-What we need is to dispel the vast amount of myths around breastfeeding (so many women believe they don’t produce enough or don’t have ni***es that are the right shape. Neither is true except for something really small like 1.5% of all the global population).

-What we need is for women to stop being pushed towards formula as soon as they encounter one small hurdle such as weight loss or sore ni***es

-What we need is maternity leave not to make breastfeeding to one almost impossible (my 9 month old still feeds every 2 hours. How the hell would I navigate that and a traditional office job??)

-What we need is for formula companies to stop perpetuating the idea that their milk isn’t essentially an ultra processed food.

-What we need is better education about the incredible short and long term health benefits of breastfeeding for both babies and mothers so that women are more aware of what the implications of any decisions they make about how to feed their baby.

-What we need is to normalise breastfeeding as a natural thing to do not just for your newborn but as our babies get older too. Every toy doll comes with a bottle and a dummy, every children’s story shows formula as the norm. It’s no wonder breastfeeding mothers are stared at like they’re doing something odd.

I am so passionate about this subject and I am also afraid to be so. Because as soon as you dare to say it’s an incredible gift to give your baby, almost everyone you know is offended and angry. Every mother has the right to choose without judgement. But they have the right to be supported and informed before they make that choice.

I’ll leave it to other people to inform, educate and inspire better than I can.

Try and as good places to start ♥️

What’s better? Persisting with full push ups or nailing the knees down version??

Press ups work the chest, shoulders, triceps and abs and are a great addition to any workout (added bonus-no equipment needed!)

But is a knees-down press up “cheating”? The modified press up is easier because you’re reducing the load on the muscles working. Nailing the knees down method is far more effective than slogging it out on your toes to no avail.

But! You’ll see more progression if you stick to a straight back (no knees) and just make your range of motion really small. You don’t have to get your nose all the way to the floor for it to count or to have worked you.

And if you’re still struggling to move much whilst maintaining a straight back (think plank position; core engaged, tailbone tucked under, neck in line with spine) then try starting with a push up against the wall.. hands in line with chest, slowly easing your nose towards the wall and back again.
Once you’ve cracked that, take your hands lower to say a table or bench. Eventually you’ll be on the floor. And in the mean time, also focus on strengthening the muscles used in a press up.. think tricep dips, dumbbell chest presses, shoulder presses etc.

Listen to your body and don’t worry about what other people are doing. Your body knows it’s limits! And that full push up might not be far off.. 😁💪🏻

If you’ve noticed that your cardio has got tougher and your strength training seems more of a struggle all of a sudden, try throwing on an extra layer before you begin.
Even if it feels a little too hot and sweaty, you might find that you perform a lot better when you’re not spending the majority of the workout trying to do exercises the body just isn’t warmed up enough to do.
Just added a layer to my workouts and was very relieved to find my cross trainer session has gone back to manageable again (last week it suddenly felt just way too hard!)👌 🔥

Popcorn is one of those foods that most people don't realise is actually very good for you. It’s so high in fibre, a wholegrain which means it will deliver a slow release of energy, low calorie which makes it perfect for when you just want to keep eating, and free of any added crap.
Even on a lower carb approach, you have to eat absolutely loads before you even get near the carbs in say a single slice of bread.
It’s also high in antioxidants, iron, vitamin B and is gluten free and super filling.
The kernels are really cheap to buy, and very fun to make with children. But even ready popped, the salted version is still excellent for you (and actually not that high in salt!) Obviously, steer clear of sweet and also the sweet and salted combo. The sugar detracts from all those health benefits I just listed!
Versatile too-the plain stuff can be jazzed up with butter, cinnamon, salt and pepper... the list goes on!
I totally recommend it as the ultimate alternative for crisps 👌

Much as having our workouts (and only alone time..ever!) invaded can be frustrating, I also love how much fitness has become part of Henry and Rose’s norm.
They see us workout, they come to our classes and watch others do the same.
Henry doesn’t bat an eyelid now if I’m doing a downward dog in the middle of soft play to squeeze a stretch in or if I tell him we are walking even though it’s raining because walking makes Mummy feel happy.
I really hope we are normalising valuing, appreciating and using our bodies to be as brilliant as we can be 🌟
