Lift with Lauren PT

The sun is out 🌞

Which means summer clothes which means for my case lots of comments like …

“Oo aren’t you lucky with a figure like that” .. “I wish I looked like you” (which that one doesn’t bother as much as aren’t you lucky!) “what id give to have a body like yours”…

But when I tell people what I actually do, the sacrifices I make.. the reaction of these ppl are gobsmacked.. I ought to do a video of what I do in a day!!!

The thing is people want the trophy

🏆💃🏻💪🏼🍑

But they don’t want the hard work

🏋🏻‍♀️🤼🏻‍♀️🥋🚴🏻‍♀️😪🥵

For instance..

I bike an average of 20 miles a day as this is my form of travel.

I exercise in the gym 3-4 times a week ranging from 1 hour to two hours as I train for so much and it’s intense training, pushing myself till failure in every session even when I don’t want to do it.

I train jiu jitsu 2-4 times a week, not getting back till half 9, eating tea at 10ish and going to bed at 11.

My job is on my feet constantly doing lots of steps.

From the moment I am up in the morning I do not stop until gone half 9 at night.

I eat completely clean every single day with the smallest treats at the weekend never enough to affect my progress, restricting everything I eat the only treats I have within the week is coffee! I’d like to say I train and eat like a warrior and it pays off but it’s hard work and ALOT of discipline.

I love it but some people need to understand we aren’t “lucky” to look like this it’s damn hard work EVERY SINGLE DAY.

No sacrifices no victories.

Bit of a different post, a friendly reminder from your neighbourhood PT that just because someone can look okay, sound okay does not mean they are okay.

I think fitness trainers especially are perceived as bubbly, positive and high energy like myself but just because we are like this doesn’t mean we are always feeling it on the inside, even when teaching a big class with good energy.

Less than an hour after these photos were took I was crying my absolute eyes out to my good friend which was also 20 mins before my class but no one would have known.

I don’t like the phrase always be kind because some people do not deserve kindness in this world.

But the truth is everyone is fighting their own battle and social media only shows a fraction of what goes on behind closed doors.

So I say always be mindful that the outside isn’t always a reflection of how someone feels on the inside.

It’s that time again… 👀💪

Even when you don’t feel like showing up, show UP! The days where you don’t feel like going matter the most. I almost gave up training the muscle up as it’s just so so difficult. But last week I did one unassisted (was abit sloppy but we have to start somewhere) just NEVER GIVE UP!!!! 💪🏼 you can do this.

This is why I do what I do 🥹🥺 these words speak for themselves from my darling client Rachel🤍 so so proud of her!!!!!
