Surprised at Paddy O Dwyer. I've got a whole catalogue of old strongest man UK and they were mainly fat.

People like this s**tfluencer - they use everyone who isn't physically perfect to make some sort of example of and make their sad little self obsessed lives feel more meaningful whilst creating traffic on their s**tfluencer posts.

Win win.

Ironically mentally they are psychologically unwell.

She's definitely not happy, she's not healthy, most likely has an unhealthy relationship with food and body image, and she sure don't feel good otherwise she wouldn't be s**t posting. People that are - they punch up not down.

This is just more sanctimonious bo****ks from some air head lettuce muncher in a crop top. Insert expletives of your choice here

I do love a good sunrise. It is my absolute favourite part of every day. Time to collect my thoughts, get the steps in, be reminded that every day is unique and special in its own way. And I watch my beautiful Bailey seize the day, every day. Which in itself is infectious!

Does he wake up in a bad mood and let that affect him? No, he does not, he's up, he is out, chasing that ball about at 5.30 am and wagging his tail.

No matter how rubbish I feel when I wake up, the endorphins from the exercise and the wonderful scenery will work its magic. By the time I come home, all is well with the world and I am ready for the day.

This is a quote by Teddy Roosevelt. It's about finding ways to achieve your goals even if the odds are stacked against you.

If you don't have any equipment or a gym membership, go for a walk. If you don't have the time to meal prep, eat healthy ready meals. If you don't have much time for exercise, then do a micro workout at home.

There are always ways work around most barriers. Instead of saying "I can't," try saying, "In what way can I ... ?"

"Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up."

Ask yourself these four questions and answer them honestly:

1. What are the advantages of doing nothing? How will that make me feel?
E.g. I won't have to go to the gym, I won't need to cut down on the amount of cheese I eat

2. What are the benefits of doing something? How will that make me feel?
E.g. I will have more energy, lose weight l, build lean tissue, have more confidence and feel better

3. What will it look and feel like in 1,5, 10 years time if I do nothing?

4. What will it look and feel like in 1,5,10 years time if I do something?

Change is difficult, people are naturally resistant to it. It's unfamiliar and discombobulating. We have habits and idiosyncrasies that are comfy like a pair of slippers. New habits can be formed in as little as 21 days - and these will become the new normal, the new comfy pair of slippers.

Start small and aim big!

What's one thing you could definitely do for 21 days that would have a positive impact on your health or fitness? Let me know in the comments below?

Peanut Butter Protein Cups

Introduction
This sweet treat is lower in sugar and has 9 g of protein and about 125 calories per delectable cup.

Ingredients
6 squares of 85% Lindt chocolate (i.e. 60 grams)
60g Vanilla Whey Protein
1 tbsp of peanut butter
2 tbsp of coconut flour
75 ml of almond milk

Serving size
6 pieces

Preparation time
20 min preparation time + at least 1 hour freezing time

Instructions
Melt your chocolate either in a bain marie (i.e. a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water) or in a small non-metal bowl, using low power, in the microwave.

While the chocolate melts, make the filling of your PB cups by mixing the rest of the ingredients together until you get a thick sort of batter. (Try not to eat it all. You’ll be tempted, trust me.)

When the chocolate has melted, pour half of it between 6 muffin cups. Then, add a dollop of the filling on top and cover them with the rest of the melted chocolate. Put cups in the freezer for an hour or so, and then “unmold” them.

Tip: Silicone muffin cups are great for this.

Walking your dog is fantastic and free exercise. You will improve your cardiovascular health, release endorphins and it will help you to maintain a healthy weight. What's not to love?

Perhaps it's a mobility issue, or maybe you don't even realise that your hips and knees naturally hinge. I am here to support you every step of the way on your journey to a more flexible you.

Hey everyone, it's Workout Wednesday! Today's routine is all about maintaining or building a strong core and getting your heart rate pumping with some awesome battle rope exercises.

But first, why is a strong core so important?

Your core is the foundation of your entire body. It provides stability for everyday movements, protects your spine, and improves your posture. A strong core can also help with:

✅️Improved athletic performance: No matter your sport, a strong core translates to better power and control.
✅️Reduced back pain: A weak core can contribute to back problems.
✅️Strengthening your core muscles helps support your spine and prevent injuries.
✅️Better balance and coordination: Your core plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and coordinating movement.

Now, let's talk about Battle Ropes!

Battle ropes are an awesome tool for a full-body workout, but they particularly shine when it comes to targeting several key areas:

Core: The constant movement of the ropes engages your abs, obliques, and lower back, giving your core a serious workout.

Upper body: Shoulders, arms, and chest all get challenged as you generate power to move the ropes.

Cardio: Battle rope exercises get your heart rate up quickly, making them a great way to burn calories and improve cardiovascular health.

Get ready to crush this workout! We'll be doing 2 core exercises to prime your core and then dive into some battle rope drills.

Don't forget to modify the exercises as needed and listen to your body!

Celebrating Autism Awareness Day!

Today is Autism Awareness Day, and as a personal trainer and nutrition coach on the spectrum, I wanted to share a different perspective!

Autism brings many strengths to my work. My keen eye for detail ensures I don't miss a thing during assessments. Plus, I can become completely engrossed in helping my clients reach their goals – their success is incredibly motivating for me!

This hyperfocus helps me to develop individualised training plans tailored to each client's specific needs and progress. Not only that, I'll remember exactly what each of you like and don't like, what works and doesn't work - no matter how many people I'm working with.

Many autistic people thrive on routine and clear structures, and I can leverage this strength to create sessions that put my clients at ease and maximise their progress.

Did you know many inspiring people are autistic? Here are just a few:

✅️Greta Thunberg, climate activist
✅️Temple Grandin, animal scientist and autism advocate
✅️Chris Packham, zoologist and TV presenter

We all have unique ways of seeing the world, and that's what makes us strong! Let's celebrate neurodiversity and the amazing things autistic people bring to every field.

If you're neurodivergent, tell me in the comments which bits are your superpower 💪 👇

Ikigai

Before being made redundant in 2016, I worked for many years in Energy Reporting Systems & Analytics, which is as far removed from what I love as you could get. In my early 30’s, I’d found a true love of sport and fitness through rock climbing, ice climbing and mountaineering, I really did get off the sofa and do something less boring instead. As the years went by I became more and more miserable in my work and it was one of those inspirational memes of all things that really put things into perspective for me - ikigai is the Japanese concept of "a reason for being". Everyone has an ikigai. To find it requires a journey of self-discovery. But the search is worth it.

Fitness and passing on my love for it are my passions and my ‘reasons for being’. So now, I'm qualified to REPS Level 4 with a Diploma in Personal Training, Diploma in Exercise Referral, Diplomas in Weight Management for Individuals with Obesity, Diabetes Mellitus and/or Metabolic Syndrome plus Delivering Physical Activity to Individuals with Mental Health Conditions, Level 1 Precision Nutrition Coach.

There's not much around that I haven't tried when it comes to sport and fitness - I'm an experienced rock and mountain climber, Powerlifter, Crossfitter, Strongwoman and Bodybuilder. I use the most effective elements across all disciplines to get the most out of my Clients and ensure that they achieve the best results. Whether it's fat loss or weight loss for a specific occasion, physique goals, an upcoming sporting event, or even that my Client wants to get fit and just doesn’t know where to begin.
