Fi Modderman - Fitness & Health Coach

Fi Modderman - Fitness & Health Coach I help you develop a healthy relationship to food, fitness and your body, so that you can just get on with enjoying the life you are here for! Wrong! You can.

I help women switch the internal narrative when it comes to their health and body, from "I can't," to "I can." It's from the inside that the real transformation happens. If you don't truly BELIEVE that you can have the body and health and energy you desire - then you won't. You won't stay consistent with the behaviour and lifestyle changes that need to happen externally - because hey, you believe deep down that you can't actually do it right! But we need to start not only with the 'outside world', but most importantly, your 'inside world'. What is going on in your head? So alongside the 'what to do' in terms of eating, exercise, stress and sleep, let's change all those life-long stories, patterns, routines and ways of being that you're currently accidentally stuck in. If you don't know those programs are running in the background keeping you stuck, how can you change them? That's why working alongside a coach, who's job it is to shine a light on those pesky stories that tell you you "can't", is what will ultimately have you doing what it takes to get you to where you want to be long term. But you MUST be ready and willing to do the work! Not just the work of loading up your plate with chicken and broccoli (blah really? No, we don't have to do that either!), but the work of catching reoccurring thoughts, beliefs and stories that no longer serve you - and rewire in the new ones that do! You can do this. I believe in you. And I'm here to help. Just message me to get started with coaching now. xx Fi

I now have a 13, 14 and 15 year old!

This photo was taken 13 years and 3 days ago.

Why ladies, are we so effing hard on ourselves and how our body looks...
When it literally GROWS a small human and stretches and changes to accommodate said human!?

Here is your weekend reminder that your body is enough, exactly as it is.

It really does come down to this: do the 'boring,' basic, sh*t... consistently.

I've been kinda-obsessed (as my teens would say these days) with health and fitness since I was a teenager myself. Studied it at Uni for 4 years, worked with hundreds (and hundreds) of women ever since and I can promise you that this is the truth people still don’t really want to hear...

There is no secret.

Move your body daily: Strength training + any other exercise you enjoy... most of the time.

Eat food from nature: food that has one ingredient... most of the time.

Sleep: go to bed at the same time, wake up at the same time, get that quantity in, minimise disruptions... most of the time.

We all have stress: learn how to best manage yours so it doesn't overtake and rule your life... most of the time.

s what we are doing 'most of the time' that will add up to having a body that feels great, moves well, allows you to do all the fun stuff we're put on the planet to enjoy (and looks good as a side-effect!).

The flashy, quick win, trendy, big promise stuff.... it can help kickstart your journey but I promise you, it's not the answer you are searching for.

That stuff is great marketing, preying on women's burning desire to fix their 'problem' as quickly as possible.

But the thing is, your body is not a problem to be fixed.

It's a part of you, here to carry you through your life and it's always doing it's best to do exactly that!

So when we It'TRULY take care of it, giving it what it needs to feel awesome (most of the time!), you will get what you are looking for so much faster.

Women are forever waiting.

Waiting to 'find' motivation.
Waiting to feel motivated.
Waiting to for something magical to float down from the sky and get them going!?

But after a lifetime as someone who exercises consistently...
After 20+ years as a personal trainer helping other women exercise...

This is what I know to be true...

The HARDEST part is putting those bloody shoes on.

And the longer you wait, the harder it becomes.

The real trick - is to stop thinking about how you feel in the moment (okay, if you're sick, you're sick! I'm not meaning genuine physiological reasons not to exercise) and just make the decision to do it.

I teach, coach, preach exercise all day long - and never want to do it just as much as all the women I work with! šŸ˜…

BUT - and this is a big but...

I have a solid reason WHY I need to exercise.

Gone are the days it is for aesthetics (that just comes along for the ride), it's about being strong and functional.

Not just for my 43 year old self of today.
But for my 53, 63, 73, 83 and maybe 93 year old versions of me!

The work you do now - pays off in dividends for your future self.

ā€œMy client told me the other day, that I’m incredibly disciplined.
I told her the truth: ā€˜I’m actually just… really lazy!ā€

Every Sunday I line up six tiny containers and fill them with my protein powder, creatine, and seeds.

Not because I’m organised…
But because future-me is super unmotivated in the morning, rushing to do 'all the things' and can NOT be phaffed opening and closing lids to measure out powders into her breakfast smoothie.

Most women think consistency is about willpower. But if your mornings are already full, demanding, overstimulating…
Why would your brain choose the ā€œhardā€ version of the habit?

So I stopped relying on discipline.
I started relying on design.
And I do my best to take away the annoying barriers that I know will stop me taking the actions I want to take for my health.

The easier I make it, the more consistent I am. Truthfully?
I stay on track because I remove the thinking, not because I magically wake up as some motivated unicorn wearing a ponytail!

This tiny routine fuels both my today self and my future self.
It keeps me consistent without the guilt, the ā€œI shoulds,ā€ or the mental gymnastics.
It’s not discipline.
It’s nervous-system-friendly (and brain-friendly!) success.

If you want to stay consistent with your health, your habits, or your goals… don’t try to be more disciplined.
Design for your laziness. šŸ˜…

Make the habit so easy, today-you and future-you both win.
