So proud of how far you’ve come on your journey and just pleased I could have help you 😊

Last week on mental health day, I promised to share some of my own mental health journey.

I’ll be honest, I started putting together a few slides and found it quite emotional, so stopped.

This here just came up on my memories… it was the beginning of my fight back post breakdown and I had the good fortune to be working with an amazing PT in

I will share the slides later. I’m ready and hoping it may help someone.

Absolutely stoked as a trainer to see Clare working so effectively with her stability. Not a million years ago she was unable to even stand on one leg without losing her balance. With focused hip, glutes, feet etc we’ve managed to turn that right around. Today was the best form I’ve seen from anyone, kudos Mrs Milner!

A big element is that you must offset the centre of gravity as it moves and thus creates the stimulus for the supporting stabilising muscles to chime in. Concentrate on pushing your hips back whilst maintaining a flat back which gets those lazy glutes and hamstrings working.

Focus on that hip hinge people!!

The devil is in the detail!!..

With more and more people reigniting their fitness and particularly running in these Covid times it’s more key than ever to understand the finer points to keep you going and injury free!

This is just a brief but very important part of a crucial area. There are other key elements such as hip, head, arms etc alignment to enhance your efficiency and engage the correct muscles

Your running gait, comprising of five phases, is the way your foot strikes and leaves the floor with each stride.

The five phases are as follows:
* Stance When your foot first strikes the ground.
* Loading From when your heel hits the ground to the moment your forefoot touches down.
* Mid-stance The point at which your heel starts to lift and the forefoot flexes.
* Toe-off When your foot leaves the ground.
* Swing The time between your foot leaving the ground and touching it again.

The foot has its own natural rolling movement, outwards or inwards, throughout the five phases. Injuries can occur when these rolling movements, known as pronation, become exaggerated.

•With normal pronation the foot rolls evenly, distributing the force of impact optimally, followed by an even toe-off. Those with normal pronation are often referred to as neutral runners.

•With over-pronation the foot rolls too far inwards, flattening the foot arch and stretching the muscles and tendons in the foot.

•With under-pronation there’s an excessively outwards roll, which places strain on the muscles and tendons that stabilise the ankle.


I’m now taking on more online clients, so if you’d like to take your training up to the next level then drop me a msg.

Life can be scary at times!.. For me, this weekend was to put a very brave face on as I let him fly me around!

Sometimes, you’ve got to let go and trust in others ability. I kept reminding myself this as he popped the plane into 3 zero gravity falls and 3 engine stalls, just to test my resolve!.. But great to see him beaming with confidence that I can trust his level of flying.

I find this a lot with new online clients as well. Often very wise people who have trained themselves for years and are super content with what they’re doing. But just not getting the results they’d like and/or struggling with injury.

It’s such a wonderful thing, once we’ve completed even just one session and they can see how they can improve. Having someone unlock their potential and map their journey with continued support.

Don’t believe me, come and give it a try.. It’ll be the best hour investment you’ve ever made.. Remember.. You’re worth it!



Now taking on 5 more online clients, first come first served!. Drop me a msg to find out more.
