🏆 Grassroots Kettlebell League Grand Finale 2026

What a fantastic day thanks to Ste THE Kettlebell Sport Coach and Yvonne and The Grassroots Kettlebell League.
I was pretty pleased with my performances on the day. Especially as I was only fuelled by 2 crumpets, a porridge pot, 2 coffees, some Tangfastics, 4 energy gels and a carb drink 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ I really struggle to eat on competition days.

I had 3 lifts:

11.40am: 15 minutes 16kg Military Sn**ch (multiple hand change) 325 reps - 1st Place. the_pilates_lounge_galway (Maggie) gave me a very good run for my money in this one! (Again!)

12.40pm: 5 minutes 20kg Sn**ch (one hand change) 87 reps (I think). This time Maggie came 1st again keeping me on my toes and beating me by 1 rep!

2.20pm: 5 minutes 2x12kg Longcycle 65 reps. This was great fun as all 4 of us were team mates from Tu Nova. I came joint 1st with who kept me on my toes from the start.

🥇I won highest scoring female for the competition too 😊

Ste THE Kettlebell Sport Coach had been planning the competition for months and all his hard work really paid off. As always the Tu Nova team pulled together to make sure everything ran smoothly. We started shifting bells, flooring and equipment and setting up the venue at 7.15am. Then we had to empty the hall and get everything back into the gym at the end of the day.

‘Teamwork makes the dream work’ as they say!

We had athletes travel from Ireland and from all over the UK which was amazing. What I really loved about the day was the support and respect that all the competitors have for each other. This is always the vibe at kettlebell competitions and the supportive welcoming community is one of the reasons I keep on lifting.

Anyhow, after a day of reflection and a day off training (I’m bloody knackered), it’s time to refocus and get ready for the world championships in Latvia in November!

🚨EXCITING NEWS

First and foremost a HUGE thank you.

For the second year running, I’m being backed by 4 incredible women-owned businesses. Self-funding a kettlebell sport career is no small thing. With their support last year I competed for England in Poland and Moldova, coming home with 3 gold and one silver medal. Having people invest in what I’m doing again, means everything.

Because of that support, I’m heading to the World Kettlebell Sport Championships in Latvia in November, representing England as a professional athlete for the first time.

I’m excited and also pretty nervous. I’m not quite sure about my life choices sometimes - 24kg just feels so bloody heavy! 😅 All I can do is train hard and give it everything I’ve got on the day.

Grateful doesn’t quite cover it 🙏🏽🙏🏽

The boring advice that actually works during menopause…..

Do the foundational habits really well:

✔️Strength train with intensity 2-3 times a week
✔️Do cardio that you enjoy
✔️Eat adequate protein
✔️Eat adequate fibre
✔️Drink plenty of water
✔️Create a good bedtime routine
✔️Plan time for fun activities (that relieve stress)

But if you create a strong foundation of good habits, this is probably all you’ll need to start noticing a difference in how you feel. No fads, no diets, no supplements that promise the earth. This isn’t a magic pill or quick fix - sadly there’s no such thing.

It can feel overwhelming for a lot of women who just don’t know where to start. If this comes up for one of my clients, I’d tell her to start with the easy habit first. Something that takes a small amount of time every day, but over time, will reap big rewards. Start small and build from there.

This is what we’ve been discussing this month inside the Menopause Strength Collective.

If you’re feeling like this and want further support in knowing where to start, I’m Charlotte and I help women feel their absolute best during menopause and beyond. I’d love to connect with you and see if I can help you too.

🚨 Usually building a solid foundation of habits is all most women need to feel better during the menopause transition.

But it’s not a sexy strap line is it? So it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the slick marketing fads that promise quick ‘fixes’ (you don’t need fixing) for your ‘broken body’ (you’re not broken either).

Inside MSC we cut through all the noise and work out what foundations look like for you and how you can improve them to feel better during menopause and beyond!
