True FORM Fitness with Sharon

No matter what IG or tick-Tock might tell you…

If you want to lose fat from your middle area, arms or upper back…from any specific area …

The simple truth is, we can’t (sorry).

We can’t spot reduce fat from our bodies, we can’t choose where our body loses fat from.
It’s not our decision — it’s biology!

Yes you can strengthen and build muscle in specific areas, but you can’t specifically burn the fat sitting over them. Where we store fat — and where it comes off — is individual.

Now for the good news….

We don’t need to do more, especially in midlife and menopause to achieve fat loss, we certainly don’t need more cardio, and we don’t need another diet 🙈

We need to focus on the things that actually move the needle.

👍Eat in a way that supports your goal.

👍Fuel yourself well and think about when you’re eating, not just what you’re eating.

🙏 Starting with a proper breakfast!

🙏 Prioritise protein.

👍Keep generally active. Move daily.

🙏 Lift weights ideally 2–3 times a week, and gradually challenge yourself as you get stronger.

👉That’s very much the ethos of Lift Lean™.

We keep it simple.
We focus on the things that matter and do them consistently. Not perfectly — as best we can!

No extremes.
No endless cardio.
No constantly chopping and changing diets and exercise plans.

Less noise. The right stuff. Done consistently.

Seriously it is that simple 💛

Comment SIMPLE below and I’ll send you some information.

Skimping and scraping on breakfast isn’t being disciplined — it could be what’s costing you!

How you start your day affect’s EVERYTHING, especially when it comes to the food you’re eating!

Your energy. Feeling flat or sluggish.

Concentration — that mid-morning dip in focus.

Hunger — reaching lunchtime feeling ravenous.

Cravings — reaching for quick fix sugary snacks.

💯 will make your weight loss journey a whole lot harder….harder to manage your appetite and portions later in the day.

Evening cravings — a poorly balanced breakfast can come back to bite you later!

It doesn’t need to be complicated, time consuming or expensive.

Choose a few meals that will work for you and stick with them.

Choose 1-3 and repeat them.

Especially during the week, if you’re busy and pushed for time!

Please don’t show me that old “I don’t have time” card 🫣

Let’s put that right to the bottom of the pack.

Get in the front foot this evening!

Keep it simple.

If you start your day right — you will feel and see your mind and body transform 👌

Whatever it is please do it….

Rest is a key part of the process!

But I’m not convinced that this message is getting through — I think this is something a lot of women still struggle with.

It’s a mindset shift.
For too long we’ve been told to “Move More - Eat Less”

That theory’s out of date — and does not apply — especially if you’re peri menopausal / menopausal!!

👉Sooooo….what if I told you that doing less some days could actually help you get more from your training?

If you’re lifting weights for example, and challenging your muscles, the workout is only one part of the process.

You challenge your body, your muscles when you train.

Then, in the hours and days afterwards, you give it the chance to recover, repair and adapt to what you’ve asked it to do.

And THAT is why rest matters.

A rest day doesn’t have to mean lying on the couch all day either.

It can be an active rest day.

A different type of exercise.

A less intense workout.

A shorter session.

It might be a walk.
A slower start to the day.
Feet up with a book.
Some gentle movement/stretching
Or maybe your legs are recovering while you train upper body.

It will look different for everyone.

So instead of always asking yourself “Could I do more?”

Maybe ask…

“Am I recovering enough to get the benefit from what I’m already doing?”

It’s not about ‘collecting’ as many workouts as possible.

It’s about making the workouts you DO count.

Train. Refuel. Recover. Repeat.

Rest isn’t a break from the plan - and it certainly isn’t about being lazy!

It IS a key part of the plan.

“I’ll get back to it once things calm down…”

Here’s the truth — there will always be “something”

September is busy, okay 👍
Back to work, back to school, back to routines.

Isn’t that a good thing?

So why do you keep telling yourself, “I’ll get back to it once things settle down”?

Before we know — it’ll be October.
Darker days.
Not in the ‘mood’.

Christmas starts creeping up.
I’m too busy 🙄

Then it’s “I’ll wait until the new year” 🙄
Hello January !

And we’ve let 5-6 months pass.

Nothing’s changed.

The truth is, life doesn’t really calm down, one thing usually just replaces another!

We’re waiting for the perfect moment that doesn’t exist!

Waiting until life feels easier…

When we finally feel “ready”…

👉 isn’t a feeling. It’s a decision.

It’s about YOU making that decision.

You ask anyone who’s made a big change in their lives, started something new, — did they feel ready ? Absolutely not! They made a decision!

Time will pass regardless!

Finding ONLY 30 minutes once or twice a week to look after your health & wellbeing isn’t unrealistic…

It’s a priority.

That’s exactly why I created my online coaching programme the way I did!
Realistic time efficient training for busy midlife women, with the right support that they need right now!

No extremes.
No more punishments.
No more starting over every Monday.
No more “all or nothing” mindset.

Everything you need is here in one place to start — and keep going

Life isn’t going to magically make the time for you.

That’s the thing you have to do - make a decision !

Your decision. Your choice. You make the time for you 💞

I mean this seriously….

The times that seem almost impossible.

The moments you really don’t want to.

It’s miles off what you ‘feel’ like doing.

You’ve every reason not to!

There’s that little battle going on between the left and right side of your brain!



Please believe me, it’s these times when you will feel your best!

You will feel amazing !

Proud that did it !!

Pleased that you overcame the obstacles - the excuses.

Happy that you won the battle! 💪

You proved to yourself

Anchor those feelings — not the mood, motivation or mindset before!

Success comes from overcoming obstacles — and biggest one is inside your own head!

One step at a time. Keep it simple. Keep proving you can 👌

👊

It’s September, of course it is — it’s sounding more like the January Sales!

Ladies — we’re all getting back into routine this month, the majority of the population! But listen, that doesn’t mean you have to sort your whole life out by September 30th!

You don’t need a shred.
You don’t need a detox.
You don’t need anything drastic!
And you definitely don’t need to spend the next 30 days trying to undo your summer 🙄

If you’re a woman in midlife, you’ve probably got enough going on without turning food and exercise into another full-time job.

So please let’s forget the dramatic reset.

Let’s just get back into routine one step at a time.

✅ Back to (or start) lifting a few times a week.
✅ Eat in a way that makes you feel good most of the time. (70/30% is a good balance)
✅ Walk every day
✅ Sleep (sort it out if it’s not good 👍)

And please live your life in between!

And…..for the record if you miss a workout, have a meal out or drink the wine?

C’est la vie 🤷‍♀️

Nothing has gone wrong. You’ve not failed. You’re not a disaster. It’s life!
Keep it real. Balance it! No big plans!!!

The best plan I think — is the one you can still see yourself doing in November, December and into the New Year 🎉

Keep it simple.

Just start — don’t shred!

Ps. It’s not too late, you can still join us this September 👍 (girls are joining right now)
