Never give up on your goals ladies.
Small steps everyday add up to big results.
It's taken almost 2 years but I'm getting there.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Life and being a mama gets in the way.

Having a strong posterior chain helps so much with every day mam life from lifting your children to picking up heavy car seats. It's really important. Don't just train the parts that you can see.

This is postpartum

So unbelievably proud of my amazing post partum ladies.

It's hard enough making the decision to take that first step and start exercising never mind adding being a busy mam to the mix.

These ladies are so inspiring and I'm so proud to be their coach.

Starting exercise after having a baby is tough. Believe me I've been there and have felt all the emotions that come with it but everyday when you keep chipping away and making the decision to do something for yourself amazing things can happen.
You owe it to yourself to be the happiest, most confident and healthiest version of you for you and also for your children. A happy mama makes a happy baby.

** Postpartum core **

Postpartum core recovery is super important after having a baby.

Carrying a baby and giving birth to a baby weakens the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles and can cause alot of postpartum problems such as back pain and urinary incontinence. Knowing the correct exercises to help strengthen them is essential. Alot of women think training their core the same as they did pre pregnancy is what is going to help strengthen their muscles but in fact it can be detrimental to core recovery.

TVA breathing or deep diaphragmatic breathing is essential for core rehabilitation. You need to learn how to activate your TVA (transverse abdominal muscles) aswell as the pelvic floor muscles.

To activate your TVA

Take a deep breath in and expand your diaphragm. On the exhale think about pulling your pelvic floor up as if you're picking something up off the floor, then engage your TVA- you can do this by placing your fingers on your hip bones and work your fingers in and slightly down. As you draw the TVA in you should feel a slight tensing of the muscle only about 20%. It's only very little movement. Relax the muscles on the inhale again and then draw everything in on the exhale.

Without learning this movement and learning to activate your TVA no amount of core exercises is going to strengthen your core.

Once you've mastered TVA breathing you can add on the postpartum exercises.

Give the following exercises a try.

1. Standing TVA breathing

2. Lying TVA breathing

3. Heel slides

4. Alternating spinal balance

5. Toe taps

6. Cat/Camel

The above exercises are all post partum and Diastasis Recti safe.

3rd-5th photo's - Post partum

The point of this post is to show you all that you can achieve your body goals after pregnancy. Everyone told me I'd never get my body back after having a baby but infact I bettered it. Alot of women give up on their goals after they have children. Believe me I was almost there too. But I decided I'd had enough of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and having no energy and zero confidence. I decided to start making time for myself and to put myself first for a change. It took me 2 years to finally feel comfortable and have some confidence again. Take each day at a time and never put pressure on yourself. Never look back and always look forward.

You can do it Queens 💪

" I don't want to lift heavy".

" I don't want to look bulky".

" I don't want to look manly"

These are some of the things clients say to me on a weekly basis.

Ladies lifting weights doesn't make you bulky. Lifting heavy doesn't make you manly.

What I can promise you is you'll look great in a dress. It'll give you curves you've always wanted. It'll make you mentally aswell as physically strong. I comes with so many health benefits and you'll look pretty dam good naked.

I'll ask you a question.

Do I look bulky?

Do I look manly?

Now go and pick up that bar 🏋️‍♀️

Be a women that can do both 💪💃

So I've bought my first bikini

Everyone that knows me knows that I've never worn a bikini before. I've always hated my stomach and have never had the confidence to get it out. The thought of what people would think about me used to knock me sick. Swimsuits were my go to for every holiday in my adult life.

The last 6 months have been a complete mind and body transformation. I've learned to love and work with what I have. Yes I still dislike my stomach but I don't hate it anymore. My belly button represents the tough time I had when I was born and then having surgery to create one when I was 12. My scaring represents my pregnancy and being able to become a mam because of it. We need to love what we have ladies.

It may be a high waisted bikini but it's a huge start for me. At nearly 30 years old I'll be offically wearing a bikini this summer.

These photo's are 18 months apart. The left photo is 10 months postpartum and I'd gotten back to my pre pregnancy weight but was still very uncomfortable and self conscious and wore my usual comfortable swimsuits.

The photo on the right is of this morning. I'm roughly 12 kg lighter but have gained my confidence back and have learned to just roll with what I have.

Always remember progress is progress. It doesn't have to be all to do with the weight on the scales but it can be the outfit you've always wanted to fit into or in my case feeling confident enough to wear something other than a swimsuit.

It's took me until nearly 30 years old but at least I've still got there.

This is postpartum

Two different bodies 8 years apart.

There is 7 Ibs difference between the two photo's.

My diet on the right was very strict. I was uneducated and followed weight watchers at the time. I didn't care what i had to do to get there i just had to see the number on the scales go down. I was obsessed with it. My exercise consisted of hours a week of cardio and i binged on what i used to call cheat days. All i wanted was to look skinny and i ended up looking just that. Just skinny. No shape at all just skin over my bones. If only you could have a word with your younger self and tell her everything you know and believe now.

The photo on the right is having a great relationship with food. Fuelling my body with what it needs and loving it enough to exercise. It's being strong physically and mentally. It's enjoying social events, being able to eat cake guilt free and weight training 4 times per week. It's honestly that simple. It doesn't have to be complicated.
Nutrition and exercise is so underrated. It's honestly essential for mind, body and soul.
Whenever I'm feeling down or just having a bad week i pick up those weights, eat better and i instantly feel better. Don't exercise to punish yourself, exercise to feel better and because you can. Eat to fuel your body and most importantly treat good nutrition and exercise as a lifestyle, not just a quick fix diet that lasts a few weeks.

Don't ruin your new year's resolution on a diet or exercise plan that isn't realistic. Focus on something that you can stick too long term and can enjoy.
Try that new exercise class or new machine at the gym and smash the hell out of 2020. Start the new decade in a positive, happy and healthy way.

You've got this 💪🙌

4 years of New year outings and transformation physically and mentally.

1st- pre pregnancy
2nd - 3 months postpartum
3rd - 1 year post partum
4th - 2 years post partum

Never did i ever think that i could wear a bodycon dress and feel confident in it.

I never thought that i could feel better and more confident in myself than i was pre baby.

It's the best feeling when you can show yourself self love and are comfortable in your own skin. Something i never thought would ever happen. I've battled with myself and my body for most of my teenage and adult life. I hated looking at myself, i covered myself up with loose clothing and literally had no self love and zero confidence. If someone told me that I'd wear a fitted dress or do a photoshoot with my stomach on show i would've laughed. I've never even worn a bikini before.

Never underestimate yourself.

Never talk badly about yourself.

Never think you aren't good enough.

Never think you can't do it.

Never think you can't achieve anything postpartum.

Always believe in yourself

Always show yourself self love.

Always try again.

Always remember you are good enough

Always be true to yourself

Mama's you can do this 💪💗
