Ways to make it stick in 2026

Hands up if fitness and exercise has been a New Year’s resolution before 🙋‍♀️
And keep your hand up if you haven’t managed to stick with it beyond February…

You’re not alone.

I’m not here to make you feel bad — this happens to so many of us. Motivation is often sky-high for a few weeks, then life gets busy and something knocks you off course.

Because it’s all new and not a habit yet, one missed session turns into two… then three… and before you know it, a month has passed and you feel like you’re back to square one — only worse, because now there’s that horrible feeling of failure.

I get you. I’ve been there many, many times.

But here’s the good news: it IS possible to make exercise part of your life long-term.

Here are my top tips for making it stick — month in, month out:

1️⃣ Get support — this is where I come in
Doing it alone is hard. Really hard.
Use me. Use my knowledge, experience and support. I’ll help you find what works for you, cheer you on when motivation dips, and keep you going when life gets busy.
Sometimes the difference between stopping and sticking with it is simply knowing someone has your back 💗

2️⃣ Be “all or something” — not “all or nothing”
Something will always be better than nothing. A short walk, a lighter session, or showing up tired still counts.

3️⃣ Be realistic
If your plan doesn’t fit your life, it won’t last. Choose something sustainable, not extreme.

4️⃣ Make exercise fit around your life
It needs to stay there through busy weeks, stressful periods, holidays and low-energy days.

5️⃣ Have a plan, create a routine — and aim for consistency, not perfection
You don’t need to smash every session. You just need to keep coming back.

6️⃣ Find your why
Dig deep for motivation that lasts.
If it’s just to drop a few kilos for a holiday, chances are it won’t last.
But if you do it for how it makes you feel, to build strong muscles and bones, for heart health, mental health and everything in between — that kind of motivation goes the distance.

7️⃣ Make it enjoyable
Find ways to turn exercise into something you enjoy doing rather than a chore.
For me, that’s being part of a group. I love the social side of exercise — feeling supported, having a laugh, and being part of a community.
That’s exactly why my strength training sessions and Mama Bootcamps are sooooo good for consistency 💗

If you’d like help with this in 2026, I’d love to support you.

I’m changing the way I exercise.

I’ve always been a bit of a cardio queen. I love HIIT, love pushing hard, love finishing absolutely spent.
I play netball and by the end of a game I’m almost crawling off the court because I’ve given it everything.

But things are shifting.

Lately, after working at maximum effort, I’ve been getting what I think are exertion headaches — migraine-like, sometimes lasting an hour, sometimes the whole day.

At first, I pushed through.
That’s what I’ve always done.

But the truth is… it’s not helping me anymore. My body is changing, and I need to listen.

Strength training now forms the foundation of my exercise — but I’m also slowing things down.
I’m getting much better at checking in with my body before and during workouts, and adjusting when I need to.

There’s a saying I really love:
“Listen to your body when it whispers, so you don’t have to hear it scream.”

I’m very good at encouraging my clients to move mindfully and tune into their bodies.
Now it’s time for me to take my own advice.

How is your relationship with exercise at the moment?
Are you consistent?
What’s working?
What’s not?

This time of year is such a good opportunity to reflect on your health and think about what you need to make positive changes in 2026.

Building strength over 40 isn’t optional.

It’s essential.

Quite simply, if you aren't using it, you're losing it. And that matters.

Muscle protects:
• your bones
• your joints
• your metabolism
• your balance
• your independence as you age

And here’s the bit many women don’t realise:

To build muscle, we need to lift heavy enough — often in the 5–8 rep range.
Not endless light weights.
Not just cardio.
Not random workouts that have no progressive overload.

That’s hard to do confidently on your own.

This is where personal training really matters.

PT gives you:
✔️ the confidence to lift heavier safely
✔️ correct technique so your body benefits (not aches)
✔️ progression that actually builds strength
✔️ reassurance that you can do this

Strength is one of the most powerful investments you can make in midlife.

For far too long, we were (and still are) bombarded with the message that skinny is everything. It's not. Being strong as you enter your 40's, 50's, 60's and beyond is EVERYTHING.

✨ I currently have a small number of January PT spots available.

January PT packages (valid for 3 months):
• 10 × 60-min sessions – $750
• 5 × 60-min sessions – $395
• 10 × 45-min sessions – $650
• 5 × 45-min sessions – $325

Sessions are flexible and fully personalised.
We’ll start with a free walk & chat before you commit.

Message me if you’d like to chat 😊

I work a little differently…

For me, personal training needs to be exactly what it says it is — personal.
And that looks different for every single client.

This morning I had my first PT session with a new client. We spent 60 minutes doing a full-body strength workout so I could see what weights she can safely lift on her own.

Why?

Because the goal isn’t for her to rely on me forever — the goal is for her to feel confident doing her own training at home.

When we first met, she asked if I’d mind helping her eventually train independently.

My answer? “Of course not.”

She also asked whether she should wait until after Christmas to start. I’m sure you can guess my answer to that one too…

Because here’s the truth: PT can take many forms — it just needs to fit into your life as it is right now.
Busy job? Kids everywhere? Life feeling chaotic?
If you’re waiting for things to calm down before prioritising your health, you’ll be waiting forever.

Instead, flip the mindset:
If you can move your body even when life is busy, it becomes a non-negotiable.
And the payoff is huge — lower stress, better sleep, more energy.
Life genuinely feels easier when you feel fit and strong.

So take this as your sign to start today.

Here’s how:

1. Message me about PT.
We’ll grab a coffee or go for a walk and chat about what you need and what will work for you.

It’s free, no pressure — and it could honestly change your life. Whatever you need, I'm here for it.

2. Try one of my Strength Training Sessions.
Tuesdays & Thursdays, 7–8pm, Coogee Scout Hall (45 Dolphin Street)
First session is FREE. I’ll be keeping classes running as much as possible over Christmas.

3. Not quite ready yet? Come to the Saturday Reset.
6:15am at the Rainbow, Coogee Beach
A gentle sunrise walk, a chat, a stretch, a calm start to your weekend. Free, friendly, and open to anyone.

Make today the day you take your first step. Let's see where it takes you....
