Nama-Stay Home Yoga

Curveballs push you. I’m getting better at hitting them back. 8 weeks ago my herniated disc flared up and I was back to living on ibuprofen for about a month. My only exercise = short, flat terrain walks 😩. Easy to fall into a dark cloud mindset when you can’t do the things you love. Reframing came in the form of a forensic level focus on diet, building my cooking skills and researching alternative exercises for when I could train. I’ve been back in the gym consistently for the past 4 weeks pain free. Hanging ab exercises and cables for the win.

Also, hi 👋🏻 from Paraguay! Winter here is 31 degrees. Now that’s my kind of winter!

Ever been asked for your advice/help? Feels good to help others, right? We get an endorphin hit to share knowledge and skills.

December = quiet gyms.

We learn through play and a gym can be an intimidating place to look silly when figuring out how a machine works or to try a new technique. Yet if we stick to what we known and have always done, we will get the same results we always have.

December is the best time to join a gym - it’s practically empty due to so many suffering hangovers. Build knowledge and confidence whilst it’s quiet. Be brave and ask someone for their advice. That serious look on my face is going to melt when you ask for help, and it will be the same for most gym rats. Don’t wait till Jan, when the gym is insanely busy - that resolution is harder to keep when you are fighting for floor space and trying to learn.

London lockdown escapee. See you guys in a month or so!

Full moon + Halloween + this face! I’m coming for you London! Tanned, relaxed and ready to do all the adulting!

COVID has been pants on many fronts, but it is making me appreciate more of the UK.

I’m going to miss how completely buzzed this guy is to see my sleepy morning face! Where did the two weeks go? Today is the last day of house and dog sitting this one! Walking twice a day to never have a single thrown stick returned to me (I get it... if I wanted it, why did I throw it away 🙄) and lots of cuddles on the couch. Frank you are the best 💛

The best girls catch ups include wine and puppy’s
