Feeling weak, unfit & unhealthy every single day is honestly DRAINING. you’re missing out on so much life when you don’t prioritize your health man 🫠

If only if was as easy as clicking our fingers 🥲🤣

Towards the end of the week discipline starts to wear thin and this is normally when the house starts to get neglected (so we can survive until the weekend)😅

By the time this weekend came around… me, my partner and even baby Jo Jo, were actually EXHAUSTED 🤣

So we decided to recharge physically & mentally on Saturday. Which consisted of sofa rotting, napping. watching Netflix & doing ABSOLUTELY nothing at all

(Well I actually did manage to squeeze in a quick workout before the rest started😅🏋🏼‍♀️) which well and truly finished me off tbh

But that whole day & night of rest, gave me all the energy I needed to get up today & do a Sunday reset

Now I’m feeling mentally, physically & emotionally ready for another crazy week

Practicing a healthy lifestyle is about having balance & also protecting your well being too.

And that looks like not expecting yourself to be perfect or on the ball all the time

But instead looks like REALLY resting when you need it 🧘🏼‍♀️🍃🧼🧹

Now I cannot wait to get in the shower, put on some fresh PJs and sleep in our freshly cleaned bedsheets 😝

If really is the little things🥹

30 weeks 4 days preggers & just “ran” 3km🤰🏽 WITH MY TODDLER IN THE PRAM😅😅

I’ve been trying to get out the house the last 4 days… but somehow other responsibilities have just taken priority

But today I literally cried because I woke up just feeling so demotivated by doing the same chores over and over again every single morning. Which is tidying up the mess from the night before, making breakfast, washing etc

I work into the evenings so dinner & bedtime is always SO chaotic and I leave a mess behind in the process

So today I just forced myself out the house. Jordan was crying and being wingey. The house is a mess. I’m tired.

But I knew that my mental health needed us to just get up and go. Because if I didn’t, another day would of passed of me being stuck in the house again

And sometimes that’s what makes you feel tired. Not that you’re actually too tired to do anything. But because your in a place that makes you feel relaxed and tired

So I got up and went out

First I started off walking & then challenged myself to just run 1km

Then 2km

Then 3km

And honestly… I feel amazing for it

My well being advice for the day!?

Just get out the house and move your body. Get up, get dressed and go get some fresh air.

Now I feel motivated to go home, blitz the house & get things organized again…. (After a quick nap)😅😅😅

Before I could of easily just got back into bed

Sometimes you just have to take that action you know you need too, even when you don’t feel like it 🫶🏻

HERE’S HOW 👇🏼👇🏼

1) Set our intentions by setting goals & getting our mindset right. This provides direction, purpose & motivation

2) the most important part : perfecting form & understanding the movements, the muscles & the joints used.

3) Structured programming. 12 weeks blocks designed specifically to build strength. 3 4 week blocks:
- week 1: foundation
- week 2: progression
- week 3: PEAK (max lift)
- week 4: essential deload week to allow recovery & adoption
Repeat this structure for 12 weeks with a ultimate peak week at the end of the 12 weeks 💪🏼

4) nutrition that fuels their workouts & helps with recovery & growth

5) CONSISTENCY! Showing up and trying their best

If you want to unlock your strength, you need to train with purpose and with a structured plan of action designed to reach that specific outcome

It doesn’t just happen by luck 🙅🏼‍♀️

I already cannot wait to get off maternity leave to help more women realize their strength & full potential 🥹

When I’m on calls with people & they start saying “8 weeks” I straight away set their expectations in line with reality

& lot of the time I see looks of disappointment when I tell them to drop that expectation

They can’t seem to see themselves sticking to it past 8 weeks. Or just feel so overwhelmed with the thought of having do it for a year😕

& I’m not saying that you won’t see a difference before the year mark because you will…

But most of the time, their aspiring body goals are of women who have been training & eating right for years & have perfected their craft

Because it’s not just about fat loss.

It’s about building muscle to speed up your metabolism so you can keep your results

Building muscle so you can eat more & not always have to be restricted all the time

Building muscle adds shape, definition & “tones” the body

Building muscle takes time! It takes time to learn how to strength train PROPERLY & build up your weights

It takes time to sort out your diet, to learn about nutrition & then cement those habits into your lifestyle

Loosing body fat really fast isn’t always a good thing. Because when it’s fast & unsustainable, it’s very likely that you’ll put the weight back on (especially when you haven’t taken the time to build muscle)

A year might feel like a long time when you’re at the start line… but I don’t make the girls hyper focus on the time line.

Or even the outcome.

I get them to focus on daily improvements. I focus on helping them build one healthier habit at a time. I focus on helping them learn how to actually enjoy training & learning about nutrition. I get them to stop doing extreme unsustainable things & take the pressure off themselves.

Instead we focus on progression, not perfection. On consistency that they can maintain and stick too.

before they know it, they’re seeing improvements. Their body starts to change. They actually feel good. They actually feel healthy, strong & capable for the first time in years. They no longer care about the time

Before they know it, we’re doing their yearly transformation photos & they don’t even recognize themselves. They only wished they had this approach sooner🙅🏼‍♀️
