Why I think it's worth driving 60miles to work...

Recharge walks are everything to me

Fitness FOMO

Fear of missing out on everything everyone else is doing in your gym... 😂

Last night I made a choice to miss my gym's Hyrox Class.
At the moment, I come along 1. tmake sure I don't lose the fitness for the next hyrox comp 2. I love the community and it's so fun to share the space with like-minded people but also 3. I don't want to miss out on a super tough calorie burnt workout

I don't want to miss out on the sweat and tears, on the burnt calories. I am a fitness professional, specialising in women's fitness in particular. I KNOW it's all nonsense, I KNOW to achieve what I want to achieve, I have to have a different approach.

Yet, growing up I was always told to lose weight, always told to be slimmer, to take up less space.. Always told it's all about calories in calories out.

And even as a professional with tons of knowledge and passion about female fitness, embracing women's strong bodies, supporting clients in their amazing journeys to get fit and strong, NOT SKINNY! I still have this Fitness FOMO time to time.

Last night was one of those times. I knew I want to lift weights, I knew I want to get stronger (goal setting in the next post) but it meant I have to skip the class, get into a freezing cold garage gym and pick up the barbell.. Alone.. Cold.. Watching the gym's insta stories of everyone working out super hard, together.. While I was barely sweating.

But... Did you know... I would have built the muscle that I wanted, the muscle that will keep me going for years to come (OK, I know I need a few more sessions..). No, I didn't burn calories, but instead I built a bit of future and I am proud of myself for putting my goal first, not giving in to the FOMO I had last night..

Disclaimer! I am still fragile about missing a class.. 😂 And no, this isn't a post slagging off anyone who does anything like hyrox. This is about what I need at this time of my life... I will still do my hyrox classes, but I'll be training just a little smarter for my goals...

So grateful for the family I have and so determined to make sure all our children experience the same and bigger and better bonds too 💕

"You're not very good"
Said noone ever (hopefully!) to their daughter/mum/friend/partner....
My daughter and my mum are both incredible and amazing and I hope they know that 😍

So why is this one of the most frequent conversations I am having with my clients? Explaining that talking down to yourself won't make you succeed, it will create little creases in your confidence that will eventually make you want to stop because 'what's the point'...

And why am I so hypocritical? Because this is exactly how I treat myself, this is my number 1 barrier in training. Apparently I'm rubbish, not good enough, not as fast/strong/good/same looking as the person next to me. I'd never treat anyone else this way, so why do it to myself?

Recent conversations with my 11 going on 21 daughter and some incredible encounters with insanely lovely supportive people made me question the way I talk to myself.

The plan is to be kind, so that the inner feeling of confidence transfers into my own training and onto my own clients.

Because who am I to talk if I don't do as I preach 😍🏋🏻‍♀️

Running... If you know me even just a little, you'll know I absolutely despise running.... I know I can do it, I know I can get faster, I know I will enjoy it a little once I get better at it, still, I don't like it!
Is running good for us? Sure, it's a movement, we need it time to time, it improves our cardiovascular system, challenges other systems in the body that don't get challenge in the same way when we do strength training.
Is it essential? I'm not sure, I like to know I can run a 5k if I want/have to. I like to know I can sprint it to the train station if running late and not die. Currently it is essential for our Hyrox race in December.

I would never discourage anyone from running, nor would I get them to start unless they want to.

But what I find the hardest, is the minimal, slow improvements.... In strength training, I see and feel results super fast, even if it's 0.5kg up on the Barbell or another pull up (on top of the only 2 I can do... 😅)

Running is soooo hard, I have been training for 4 weeks, 3 runs per week. Mainly exposure training (just getting in the miles). But I still struggle and I still find it hard. My pace is faster, I am not stressing about doing 10k anymore.so yes, things have improved, but soooo slowly! And I can't help but compare myself to others, seeing them fly by without any vivid effort...
It doesn't help if you live with an absolute machine, 'the one'

But I'll just keep going, chipping away the miles, moving onto the next 4 week block of more interval training, and update you then... I know it's possible, I've been there, I have sort of enjoyed running.. But it takes a very very very long time... Wish me luck!

PELVIC HEALTH PELVIC FLOOR WORKSHOP

💦It is never normal to leak!💦

Pain and loss of function can be distressing and frequently has a major impact on your quality of life.
More delicate and awkward process when it’s within your pelvis.

Leaking when you jump, laugh, run, cough. Constipation. Painful s*x. These and many more are all symptoms of dysfunctional Pelvic Floor.

Women of all ages can develop Pelvic Floor problems and these are not always due to pregnancy or childbirth.

The Pelvic Floor may become weak, but may also be overactive – both can lead to problems developing.

Above all, none of this is normal or something to learn to live with and there is help available.

This is so awesome, Anna getting ready for a race. She's learning fast... Warm up above all, now let's educate on mobility 😜

School run... Sounds so cheesy, but I've always loved school runs. The kisses and cuddles (while they last...) and then 'me time' walking/running home or back to get the kids. That's where all the important thinking happens 😉

In your face Covid... Try to listen to your body, it will guide you on your way to recover. No rush, just consistency and a bit of TLC. I could look at this video and think "why am I out of puff so much, it is such a light way, don't be such a baby" or I can look at myself and think "only a few weeks ago I could barely get out of bed and now look at me, I'm back, slowly, but back".
Which one would you choose...
