Even fitness professionals have days when we feel sh*t exercising and our bodies just aren’t performing as we’d want!
Sometimes the best thing you can do is listen to your body, ease off and prioritise recovery. 💞

Sometimes getting back on track starts with doing less, not more.
Last week I saw my hybrid client for our monthly face-to-face session and it reminded me how important the basics are.
Earlier this year, her strength had improved hugely from just a few simple habits:
✅ Daily plank
✅ Daily dead hang
✅ Two short strength sessions a week
Nothing extreme. No hours in the gym. Just consistency.
But life got tough, her habits slipped and she was feeling really low.
After our session, she realised that getting those simple habits back into her routine could help everything else feel more manageable again.
And yes… we even trained in a paddling pool because it was ridiculously hot! 😂
Because sustainable fitness isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about having a few simple habits you can come back to when life events happen.
Don’t underestimate the basics. They really do add up. ❤️
What’s one small habit you could commit to this week?
This week has exhausted me in every possible way.
Moving house. Life chaos. Endless things to do.
I nearly didn’t run tonight.
But I did.
And honestly? I feel like myself again.
Exercise gives me a boost like nothing else does.
It doesn’t fix everything that’s going on...
But it changes how I feel about it.
And tonight, I really needed that. 🤍
I’ve had plenty of moments in life where giving up would have been the easier option.
Times when things felt impossibly hard.
Times when the road ahead felt a long way uphill.
Times when I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it all work.
But I’ve learnt that you don’t always need to know exactly how you’re going to get there.
Sometimes you just keep going.
One step.
One day.
One challenge at a time.
And that’s my mindset with fitness too.
You don’t have to feel motivated every day.
You don’t have to love every workout.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to keep showing up.
Don’t quit. Do it.
Because the things that feel impossible at the beginning can look very different when you look back at how far you’ve come. 🤍

School holidays usually means a big change to your routine if you’re a parent (or grandparent!)
And your exercise routine can easily fall by the wayside when you have kids to entertain.
Maybe you can’t make the usual class you go to or can’t get out for a run.
My online strength class is perfect for school holidays!
You can join live from home (or holiday home!) on a Tuesday evening or watch the recording ANYTIME that suits you.
Can be done with or without equipment (and with or without kids joining in!)

A week of all-inclusive food, cocktails every day and more sugar than I’d normally eat...
I stepped on the scales expecting the number to be up.
It wasn’t.
My weight was almost exactly the same.
But my body composition reading had changed.
My visceral fat score, which has sat at 3 for around two years, showed as 4.
Now, I know these scales aren’t perfect and one reading doesn’t mean my actual visceral fat suddenly increased overnight.
Hydration, alcohol and other factors can all affect the result.
But it was a great reminder that body weight only tells part of the story.
You can maintain your weight while making choices that aren’t doing your health many favours.
Likewise, you can gain a little weight while improving your health through building muscle, getting fitter and becoming stronger.
I’m not worried about my holiday. It was exactly that...a holiday. I enjoyed the cocktails, the desserts and the slower pace, knowing I’d come home and return to the habits that normally make me feel my best.
The difference is that it’s a week, not a lifestyle.
If eating lots of sugar, drinking alcohol most days and moving less becomes your normal, those habits can gradually increase body fat around your organs over time, which is linked with a greater risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
That’s why I encourage my clients to focus less on chasing a number on the scales and more on building habits they can stick to for years.
One week doesn’t define your health.
Neither does one weigh-in.
It’s what you do most of the time that counts.

People often think that they’d feel so much more confident if they were thinner or more toned.
How often have you looked around the pool on holiday and envied the woman who looks so confident in her body? And you’ve probably assumed that’s because of how she looks.
We all have body hang ups and envy other women’s physical appearance! I’d love to have b***s and curves!
But I have body confidence despite this as I know how amazing my body is. I know how capable and strong I have made it.
Confidence doesn’t come from weight loss or being slim.
It comes from feeling capable. And ANYONE can work to make their body more capable.
If you need help with this. I’m here. Drop me a message.
We often focus on calories and workouts, but sleep can make a huge difference too.
I’ll admit, I’m not always great at prioritising it, so this week I’m challenging myself to get 8 hours and my phone is banned from bed-time!
Who’s joining me in trying to sleep better this week?

After a week in an all-inclusive hotel, I realised something….
When food (and alcohol) is always available, the novelty wears off.
Sure for the first couple of days I wanted to eat everything! But after that, having complete freedom made it easier to make choices based on what I actually wanted, rather than what I thought I should or shouldn’t have.
I think this is why overly restrictive diets are so hard to stick to. When we label foods as ‘off limits’ they often become the foods we think about and crave the most.
A healthy lifestyle isn’t about having perfect willpower. It’s about building a way of eating where no single food has power over you.
That’s when food stops controlling you and you can make choices that genuinely feel good.
