A quick follow-up after yesterday…

Yesterday’s post wasn’t about drama, sympathy or scare stories.
It was about perspective.

One of the biggest takeaways for me last week was this:

Most people don’t ignore their health because they don’t care.
They ignore it because they’re busy.
Tired.
Stressed.
Putting everyone else first.

Sound familiar?

We convince ourselves:
• “I’ll sort it when work calms down.”
• “I’ll start when the kids are older.”
• “I feel okay… it can wait.”

Until something forces you to stop.

And that’s the bit I want people to avoid.

Health isn’t about six-packs, marathons or living on chicken and broccoli.
It’s about resilience.
Energy.
Headspace.
And giving your body a fighting chance when life throws something unexpected at you.

Training isn’t punishment — it’s preparation.
Eating better isn’t restriction — it’s support.
Rest isn’t laziness — it’s maintenance.

You don’t need a scare to start looking after yourself.
You don’t need to be broken before you deserve support.
And you definitely don’t need to wait for “rock bottom”.

If you’ve been thinking “I know I should do something” — that’s your sign.

Not to overhaul your life.
Not to go extreme.
Just to start.

A walk.
A couple of sessions a week.
Better food choices most of the time.
Looking after future you, not just getting through today.

Your health isn’t something to fix later.
It’s something to protect now.

If you want help doing that — in a realistic, supportive, no-nonsense way — you know where I am.

No pressure.
No panic.
Just progress. 💪

Back in action… but with a bit of perspective.

I want to say a huge thank you to my family, friends and clients for all the messages, check-ins and support over the last week. It genuinely meant more than you’ll ever know ❤️

I woke up last week thinking I had a chest infection.
Cody had been off the back end of the previous week and was on antibiotics, so I just assumed my cold had done the classic “straight to the chest” move.

Off to the doctor I went (yes… I actually got an appointment 😎).
After calmly explaining my symptoms, I was told very calmly in return:

“You need to get yourself to A&E immediately.”

Suspected heart attack 💥

That’ll wake you up quicker than a double espresso.

Cue Maidstone Hospital and its wonderfully logical system:
Speak to the nurse at the little mobile desk three feet from the main desk, get given a piece of paper…
Then walk to the main desk and repeat everything you’ve just said while holding said paper like it’s some sort of medical passport.

From there:
• 2 ECGs
• 4 blood tests
• 1 chest X-ray
• Multiple departments
• 7 hours of waiting with absolutely no diagnosis

Plenty of time for your brain to do what brains do best under pressure… spiral.

Eventually I see a consultant. Long Q&A. Thorough checks.
And then the words:

“There’s nothing clinically wrong whatsoever. Everything looks healthy. It’s just a virus.”

"JUST" a virus 😮

We all say that, don’t we?
Dismissive. Blasé. Almost comforting.

That “just” virus then proceeded to make me the most unwell I’ve ever been.

I slept for nearly three days straight.
Zero appetite.
Flu-like shakes.
Hot and cold at the same time.
Nausea.
And a headache that felt like the worst hangover and migraine combined… then multiplied by about 100%.

Absolutely horrific.

Ironically, now it’s gone to my chest and I’m on antibiotics for a chest infection — which feels like a walk in the park compared to last week.

Normally I wouldn’t post something like this.

But when you’re told something that makes your very first thought
“Am I going to die?”
…it changes you.

I’m incredibly grateful that I’m fit and healthy.
But sitting in a hospital for seven hours with no information, that doesn’t matter — your mind goes to places you’ve never visited before.

And for a virus to then knock me out for an entire week?
It really brings home the point:

No matter how strong, healthy or “on it” you think you are… things can change very quickly.

So please don’t ever be dismissive of being told it’s “just” a virus.

And more than anything — and this is the bit I really want you to hear:

If you’ve been thinking about getting into shape…
Losing a bit of weight…
Taking that trip…
Spending more time with your kids…
Putting your health first…
Or doing anything you keep pushing back to “later”…

Do it.

I’m lucky. It could have been very different.
But it’s opened my eyes in a big way.

Work is important — but it isn’t the centre of your life.
Time with your kids, your partner, your friends? That’s the stuff that matters.

Do the things you want to do.
See the people you love.
Look after yourself.

Because tomorrow might be there…

…but it’s never guaranteed.

❤️

Back to work tomorrow… deep breath 😅

If you’ve been good this weekend — gold star ⭐
If you’ve already fallen off the wagon and we’re not even 3 weeks in — welcome to the club.

New Year’s resolutions don’t usually fail because people are lazy.
They fail because life turns up.
Work. Kids. Tiredness. Zero headspace.

And here’s the bit most people forget 👇
It’s not too late just because January hasn’t gone “perfectly.”

If you tried your best but it’s not quite enough…
If you know what to do but can’t stay consistent…
If you’re fed up starting strong then drifting off…

That’s exactly where PB Fitness steps in.

No punishment.
No shouting.
No “you should’ve started sooner” nonsense.

We start a little later — but a start is still a start.
And done properly, this one actually sticks.

👉 Message me today.
Let’s make this year mean something — not just talk about it again next January.

TOTAL BODY THURSDAY — YALDING 💪

If you’ve ever driven past the hall on a Thursday evening and wondered
“What actually goes on in there?”
…this one’s for you 👀

Total Body Thursday is a fun, welcoming, no-ego fitness class with a brilliant bunch of local people — real bodies, real lives, real effort.

No mirrors.
No shouting.
No pressure to “keep up”.

Every week is different by design — so your body keeps adapting, your brain stays interested, and boredom doesn’t get a look-in.

Expect a mix of:
• Circuits
• Bodyweight work
• Fitness games (yes, actual fun)
• HIIT & metabolic conditioning
• And whatever else keeps things fresh and effective

It’s suitable for most fitness levels, because the golden rule is simple:

👉 You work at YOUR pace. Your level. Your win.

Some people come to sweat.
Some come to move better.
Some come to rebuild confidence.
All are welcome.

What to bring:
✔️ A smile
✔️ Water bottle
✔️ Towel
✔️ Yoga mat (if you’ve got one — not essential)

What to expect:
✔️ A laugh
✔️ A good workout
✔️ A friendly atmosphere
✔️ Zero judgement

If you already know me from PB Fitness, this is just another way I help the village move better — together.

Curious? Thinking about it?
Come along and give it a go.
You don’t need to be “fit enough” — just willing to start.

Myth-Buster Monday 💥

Let’s clear one up straight away…

“You need a full 60-minute workout to lose fat.”

Nope.
That myth has caused more people to give up than any lack of motivation ever has.

Because let’s be honest — when you’re juggling work, kids, dinner, washing, homework, and whatever fresh chaos today’s thrown at you… An uninterrupted hour feels about as realistic as a lie-in.

And when you can’t find that hour, the brain goes:
“Ah, well… what’s the point then?”
So nothing happens. Again.

Here’s the truth 👇
Short, consistent movement beats the odd heroic mega session every single time.

10–20 minutes done regularly
✔️ Builds momentum
✔️ Improves energy
✔️ Reduces stress
✔️ Actually fits into real life

Fat loss isn’t about smashing yourself when motivation randomly appears.
It’s about doing something — even when you’re tired — because it’s manageable.

And no… it doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to be repeatable.

If this has made you quietly think, “I could actually manage that” — that’s usually where change starts.

No pressure. Just something to think about.
If you need any help reach out 🫶

Stress + Sleep = Weight Loss Saboteurs

Be honest…
How many times have you smashed a workout…
only to feel even more exhausted the next day?

Here’s the uncomfortable truth 👇
You can train hard, eat “pretty well”…
but if your sleep is rubbish and stress is sky-high, fat loss puts the brakes on.

Not because you’re lazy.
Not because you’re doing it wrong.
But because your body is absolutely fried.

Late nights.
Busy brains.
Kids. Work. Life.
Then you jump into bed and expect sleep to just… happen.

(Yeah. Same 🙋‍♂️)

When you’re running on fumes:
• Cravings go wild
• Motivation dips
• Recovery slows
• Fat loss stalls
• Everything feels harder than it needs to be

And no — the answer isn’t “train harder”.

It’s calm the system first.

That’s why I’ve put together a simple 7-minute bedtime wind-down stretch routine you can do on the living room floor.
No sweating.
No Lycra required.
No “wellness waffle”.

Just enough movement to:
✔️ drop stress
✔️ loosen tight hips/back
✔️ switch off your brain
✔️ actually help you sleep

Because better sleep = better results.
Every single time.

💤 Want the routine?
Comment "SLEEP" or drop me a message (WhatsApp is best) and I’ll send it over.

Your body doesn’t need more punishment.
It needs a bit of support.

Weekend Warrior Prep 💪🏼 (without the suffering)

Quick reminder before the weekend rolls in…

You don’t need to destroy yourself to feel like you’ve “done some exercise”.
You don’t need a 90-minute session, fancy kit, or military-style motivation either.

You just need a plan.

Because here’s what usually happens 👇
Weekend arrives.
Routine disappears.
Kids are everywhere.
Life gets busy.
And suddenly Monday turns up like “so… we doing this or not?”

Overwhelm kicks in.
And then… nothing happens.

So instead, try this mindset shift 👇
👉 Plan something small, realistic, and family-friendly.

Think:
• 15 minutes
• Living room/garden
• Kids playing (or climbing on you 😅)
• A simple circuit that gets your heart going and muscles working

No pressure.
No guilt.
No “I’ll make up for it next week”.

Just movement that fits real life.

That’s what PB Fitness is all about —
👉 Progress without punishment
👉 Fitness that works around family life, not against it
👉 Consistency over chaos

If you can plan 15 minutes, you’re winning.
If you do it while the kids play, you’re winning twice.

And if you’re sitting there thinking “I actually need help making this stuff simple”…
You already know where I am 😉

Have a great weekend — and remember, you don’t need to kill yourself to make progress 💥

Quick nutrition truth bomb for busy parents 💣

If you’re exhausted by 3pm…
Craving something sweet…
Standing in the kitchen staring at the biscuit tin like it owes you money…

You’re not broken.
You’re not lacking willpower.
And no — you don’t need another fad diet with rules longer than a school newsletter.

Here’s a properly simple swap that works in real life 👇

🍪 Afternoon biscuit
➡️ Protein + fruit

That’s it. No detox. No cleanse. No “cutting carbs forever and crying into a lettuce leaf”.

Why it works:
✔️ Protein steadies your energy
✔️ Fruit takes care of the sweet craving
✔️ You don’t get the crash that has you rummaging again 20 minutes later

Most parents I work with aren’t eating too much — they’re just eating things that send energy and hunger all over the place. And then blaming themselves for it.

You don’t need perfect.
You need better swaps, done consistently.

Start there. See how you feel. Then build.

And if nutrition feels confusing, overwhelming, or like something you’ve “tried before and failed at” — that’s literally what I help people with, right here in our community.

No judgement. No extremes. No nonsense.

Drop me a message if you want a few more swaps that actually fit around school runs, work, and life ❤️

08/01/2026

Hey peeps.

Due to no heating or hot water at the Village Hall there will sadly be no Total Body Thursday class tonight.

Usual class will return next week.

07/01/2026

EVERYONE gets the same 24 hours.

Before you scroll on thinking “easy for him to say” — hear me out.

I know you’re busy.
Work, kids, school runs, washing piles that never end, food shops, life admin, trying to remember where you put your keys… again.

This isn’t a “wake up at 5am and grind” post.
And it’s definitely not a guilt trip.

But here’s the honest bit 👇
Most people aren’t struggling with motivation — they’re struggling with expectations.

If you’re waiting for a perfect hour…
If you’re waiting for energy to magically appear…
If you’re waiting for life to calm down…

You’ll be waiting a while.

Fitness doesn’t need an hour.
It doesn’t need fancy kit.
And it definitely doesn’t need perfection.

Sometimes it’s 10 minutes.
A walk.
A few squats while the kettle boils.
A quick sweat while the kids are occupied (or climbing all over you — bonus resistance 😅).

And yes — that counts.

Because the people who make progress aren’t doing more…
They’re just doing something, more often.

If time has been your biggest blocker, let’s be honest about it — and work around it instead of giving up altogether.

You don’t need more hours.
You just need a starting point.

If you want help fitting fitness into your life (not an influencer’s highlight reel), drop me a message.
We’ll keep it realistic.
We’ll keep it human.
And we’ll get you moving — even on the busiest days 💪

Guilt-Free Fitness for Parents.
Let’s tackle one of the biggest blocks I hear from mums and dads 👇
“I feel bad taking time for myself when I’ve got kids.”
And with the kids back at school today, that feeling can be even louder. The routine kicks back in, the juggle ramps up… and you immediately drop yourself to the bottom of the list....again.
Here’s the reframe you need.
Looking after your fitness isn’t selfish.
It’s not taking away from your kids.
It’s actually doing something for them.
Research backed by Sport England shows that children whose parents are active are far more likely to be active themselves. Not because you lecture them. Not because you force them out the door.
Because they see it.
They see:
Mum making time for herself ✅
Dad valuing his health ✅
Exercise being normal, not punishment ✅
Movement being part of everyday life ✅
And that sticks.
So if guilt is the thing stopping you…
Flip the script.
Your training time isn’t “me time” in a bad way.
It’s role-model time.
It’s energy for school runs.
It’s patience at bedtime.
It’s confidence they quietly absorb without you realising.
And let’s be honest — a fitter, happier, less-stressed parent is a win for everyone in the house.
If you’re a busy parent around Yalding who wants to get fitter without feeling like you’re neglecting your family, that’s exactly what my sessions are built around.
No pressure.
No punishment.
Just realistic training that fits real family life.
Drop me a message and let’s make this the year you stop feeling guilty for doing something good 💪❤️

05/01/2026

Thinking “I should really do something in January”… but feeling a bit nervous about starting?

You’re not alone — and this is probably for you.

Every Thursday evening in Yalding, we run a Total Body fitness class that’s genuinely welcoming, friendly, and designed for real people — not fitness show-offs.

No pressure.
No judgement.
No expectation to be “fit already”.

You work at your own pace, take breaks when you need them, and get encouraged — not shouted at.

Each session is a fun, varied mix:
✔️ Circuits
✔️ Bodyweight training
✔️ HIIT
✔️ Fitness games (the kind that make you laugh and sweat 😄)

You’ll work hard, but you’ll also feel supported, included, and glad you turned up.

If January goals are buzzing around your head —
move more, feel stronger, shift some Christmas excess —
This is a really safe, friendly place to start.

📍 Village Hall, Lyngs Close – Yalding
🕢 Thursdays, 7:30–8:30pm

Spaces are limited, so if you fancy giving it a go, book your spot here 👉

First session nerves are normal. Turning up is the hardest part — we’ve got the rest 💪❤️
