It’s amazing how much your confidence can change when you stop worrying about what your body might not be able to do.
Rachel joined us back in August, wanting to build strength as she navigates perimenopause. Something I know so many of our women can relate to.
But Rachel had also been dealing with weak, painful knees for quite some time, along with some hesitation around certain exercises due to previous injuries.
And when you’ve experienced pain with movement, it’s understandable that you become cautious about what you ask your body to do.
Fast forward a few months and Rachel recently shared something I absolutely loved hearing.
Her knees aren’t hurting anymore! 🙌🏾
She’s feeling stronger, more confident and increasingly comfortable challenging herself with movements she once approached with hesitation.
With the right guidance, appropriate progressions and consistency, Rachel hasn’t just been building muscle.
She’s been rebuilding trust in her body.
And I think that’s something we sometimes overlook.
Pain, previous injuries and the changes that come with ageing can quietly influence what we believe we’re capable of. We start avoiding things, second-guessing ourselves and accepting limitations that might not need to be permanent.
Watching women like Rachel discover what their bodies can do with the right support is one of the most rewarding parts of coaching.
Because there’s a big difference between training out of fear of what ageing might take away, and training because you’re excited about what you can still build.
