BBPT - Bryony Bradbury Personal Trainer

BBPT has a very important job to do today!

Having sponsored a category in a local dog show to raise money for the Food Fairies charity (where Sebastian came to me from) for the dog with the waggiest tail, I have to decide which dog does have the tail which can be called the absolute waggiest!

It’s a hard life! 🐕

BBPT CLOTHING ORDER WILL BE CLOSING THIS FRIDAY 5TH JUNE.

If there is anything you are thinking of ordering and you haven’t let me know already, then please do so by Friday this week.

There’s vests and t shirts made in performance material to wick sweat away from the body and to keep you cool- these wash brilliantly and dry in super quick time.

There are sweatshirts, hoodies and zoodies (zipped hoodies) to choose from too for those colder mornings and evenings whilst the weather tries to decide what it’s going to do.

Loads of colours to pick from, loads of sizes to choose your individual fit style and so get your orders in asap.

Training to be strong and move better…! 💥

Thank you 🙏 to those who have ordered BBPT kit already… I’ve been asked for more hoodies, zoodies and sweatshirts and so here they are:-

(I am sure summer is coming 🌞but in the meantime it’s absolutely freezing 🥶 so if you would like a thicker cover up as well then here are your choices!)

Again, either tell me to add to the already growing order list in your PT session or drop me a message to order your items now.

I will put the order in at the start of next month so you have 2 weeks to decide.

I have sample vests, tees and sweatshirts in the gym for you to see.. just ask 💗

Hey! 👋

You can now see the colour range 🎨 of the vests and tees for both men and women within the photos attached.

If you would like to order one please let me know during your next session or message me directly and I will add you to the list - thank you as ever for your support.

It really means the world to me seeing you wear these items! 🌍❤️

I do still have access to sweatshirts, hoodies and zoodies for these still cold days 🥶, just shout if you would like the colour choices for these.

I will have a selection of colours with me over the next week or two if you would like to see them before you order.. 🙏

I absolutely have to mention this incredible client, Alicia. 😍🤩

Here she is today pre marathon and afterwards when the emotion caught up with her.

Alicia has had a super tough year, she didn’t get to train for the Leeds marathon in the way she may have hoped to especially where running was concerned, but she bought new trainers and decided to do it anyway. 👟 👟

At her last personal training session, whilst we worked on mobility and conditioning we laughed at how if anyone could just get up, run a whole marathon alone and actually get a great time too, it would be her!

And… it was was her! 🏃‍♀️

She completed in 4 hours 57 mins and I think she is utterly amazing!🤩

You deserve this sweetheart! So so much!
I’m so proud of you… 👏

Recent training…. Using the new gym kit, getting stronger and leaner and having fun at the same time..

Lovely Clients…. I really want to help raise some money for this charity as this is where Sebastian was from.

So if any of you:-

* Love Sebastian and like him being at your PT session

*Have a dog of your own, especially if it’s a rescue

* Want to help Sebastian’s friends back home in Romania

*like dogs

Then please could you donate to get this hospital up and running

OR

help me to think of creative ways to organise something so that we can collectively raise some money to help them out then please comment here!

So far we might have a quiz or aim to do an obscene amount of burpees all together on a go fund me.

Better say now or it might be the burpees!! 🤣🤣🤣

🙏❤️😊

On my day off yesterday I went to the doctors… I know- I lead a very exciting life! 🫣🤣

This appointment has been almost 6 months in the making… I have had several years of some weird and not so wonderful health issues which I had almost learned to live with and thought were just “life”.

Over the past 6 months however, I have had other health concerns -

a back injury,
bladder issues,
shingles,
opening a door onto my face (worsening clumsiness) ,
a viral lung infection
and last month an infected cyst which ruptured in my shoulder blade and the emergency op to remove it… 🥺

All of which have affected me being able to train consistently… I can count on both my hands how many times I’ve trained since Xmas 😩

and when you add that to an already tough list of symptoms -
waking at 2am almost every night and not being able to go back to sleep,
anxiety which has rocked my very core,
brain fog,
night sweats,
2-3 hour daily naps
random bleeding
and a regular feeling of impending doom
amongst other things😤🙄🫩🤯

It’s been a bit of a rough ride.

I’ve had
A referral to the sleep clinic
Another to the professor of CADASIL at Addenbrooks hospital
Blood tests
An MRI

And yesterday since there’s been some research into whether it’s OK for women with CADASIL to have HRT and it’s thought that the risk of stroke is not as high as they first thought, I was given some HRT to help alleviate some of this stuff because quite frankly enough is enough…!

So this morning I’m here about to slather my thighs in a gel which I hope will bring me closer to being myself again. 🤞

I know this will resonate with so many of you… please comment and share your experience

- how has HRT helped you?
- are you undecided about trying it?
- do you regret trying it?
- patches, gels or sprays? ( pills are still too big a risk)

Isn’t being a woman just so much fun sometimes!?! 🤩

Anyway the good news is that HRT is free (ish), you go to gov.co.uk/HRT and you download a pre payment certificate for less than £20 and then get all your HRT meds for free for the year!

Just renew it every year. I didn’t know this and pharmacies apparently don’t tell you but I think this is a great thing so I’m sharing it here for you in case you didn’t know…. 💗

So much consistency, so much effort and so much commitment from my clients… loving our conversations around nutrition, different aspects of training, steps, mindset and menopausal mayhem… 🏃‍♀️ 🏋️‍♀️

It’s like being in a really big girl gang of like minded females sharing symptoms, issues, advice and support and I love it! 🥰

Thank you for all the tears, the honesty, the openness and the laughter…. We are in this together! ❤️
