YOU ALL LOOK AMAZING!

Let’s talk periods: luteal phase!⁠

Once ovulation has taken place, our estrogen and testosterone levels drop, and our progesterone takes over. This is when you might experience PMS symptoms. ⁠

The drop in hormones also means a drop in energy. Your body will no longer be in heavy muscle building mode, and will want to start slowing down. Focus on mobility workouts, small strength sessions and yoga.⁠

If we keep saying, I'll start tomorrow, I'll start next week, I'll start when I.... we may get into the habit of never starting - sometimes you've got to take that step - lets go now!

MEET THE COACH!

Let’s talk periods: ovulatory phase!

Your hormones are at their peak! You will feel your best, you will be ready and raring to go for any form of workouts.

This is the part in the cycle to push your body, up the intensity, go for that PB, go for longer runs.

With upping the intensity, make sure to stretch & look after your body to reduce impact of injuries.

It can be hard as a coach, to make sure you guys are getting the best out of your sessions, out of your goals, and your training structure. We are here to support you to be the best you can be, to be confident, and to achieve the results you want.

Sometimes we have to be a little uncomfortable in order to become a stronger version of ourselves, physically and mentally.

Shoutout to all the wonderful strong women who I have the pleasure to know in my life.

Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and can take on all forms of challenges!

Some really important tips for starting out running!

Let’s talk periods: the follicular phase!

Your body has realised it’s the end of your period and signals for a rise of energy. Your hormones, estrogen and testosterone begin to rise too.

Take advantage of this new energy. Gentle cardio, long walks, Pilates, energised yoga flows. Go swimming, go biking, maybe try some new dance moves!

I do love myself a burpee, but they can be pretty hard on the knees and a lot of work, here are some alternatives!
