Emma Martin Fitness

Not every day is a training day. Sometimes we wake up in the morning and feel like we’ve been hit by a bus. For me, it’s because of my cycle, which means my energy will be low for the coming days. What is important, however, is how you embrace yourself and your feelings.

Some trainers insist you still go intense on your training and “don’t give in”. I, on the other hand have a more nurturing, caring and understanding approach to when a client (or even I) wake up feeling low, for whatever reason, but especially during a cycle. I’m not saying don’t train, but modify it for where you are right now.

There is a difference between not training or going light because you’re feeling lazy and if you’re really honest with yourself you could probably push yourself, vs. Not training or going light because of what your body is going through.

Today, for me, it’s a light day with some gentle nurturing and restorative yoga with and then an early night under the covers once I have finished with clients at 6pm.

Happy New Year to you 💫 My wish for 2024 is a peaceful year for all, where kindness and compassion is the main focus. Feeling that compassion for others starts within us first; truly being able to feel it inwardly towards ourselves. It helps that inner kindness, love and respect to grow and spread outwards.

For me personally, that self-love and kindness starts with my morning self-care ritual, which helps me to feel uplifted, yet also centered and grounded, and better able to move with life’s ups and downs. So I’m inviting you to join me in this short ritual each Monday and Wednesday. Just 30 minutes, or less if you prefer, of gentle movement, breathing and meditating, holding a kind intention for the duration of the practice.

These sessions are super relaxed and informal. This is also YOUR time to do with it as much or as little as you need for that moment, adapting the practice to suit you.

We start tomorrow, details are in the link in my bio. I hope you’ll join me in this little self-care kindness and commitment towards yourself 💜

And the goodbyes begin… Vico Baths, not Grainne! I’ll see you in the sunshine! Goodbye to the lovely and invigorating sea swims we have had together and the hyperventilating and shrieking about the seaweed gently stroking my feet and legs, and the sub zero temperatures (that might be a slight exaggeration), and the acrobatics trying to get back onto the steps to get out! I have enjoyed every moment!! And the company made it even better ❤️

Love flitting to the UK and training with mates in random gyms dotted around! 😆 Great session and lovely to catch up with .fitness today at . Looking forward to not being able to move my upper body tomorrow 💪🏻

Another great day of climbing with the boys, but this time in Glendalough. Absolutely stunning views and a very wet and cold abseil back down 🧗‍♀️

Ready for my Saturday sports massage clients! Time for some self-care and soft tissue release ❤️

Training is so much better with a workout buddy!! Tag your training buddy ❤️

Tried my first overhang tonight on lead and it’s been a while since there were tears on the climbing wall. I got in my head, panicked and bottled it. has very kindly put up a 6A for me to get to the roof before I move in a couple of weeks and I’m determined to get it. Tonight was just unfortunately not the night. I was extremely uncomfortable with the idea of going sideways whilst hanging. So, I will practise and get a little further next time. Thank you to my belayer . No tears next time ☺️
