It's not all workouts and Lycra.
โš–
Balance.
๐Ÿง
One of the hardest things to find in life - for some of us.
๐Ÿ˜‰
If you have the secret, I'd love to know!
๐Ÿ™
But for now I'm full of appreciation for this moment.

Better feeling thoughts create better feeling thoughts.

Look for the silver linings, find the benefit, fill your cup, see the good โค
Add your own clichรฉ- whatever just remember that when you turn it 'yes' better things follow.

What a summer it's been - and it's not over yet!
๐ŸŒž
OK the weather has been pretty sucky but I've loved the time off to play, to adventure, to rest.
๐Ÿฆ
If you're heading towards the end of the summer break or, summer in general then maybe you're feeling like you're ready to get back to something approaching order and routine - ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ I am!
๐Ÿ“†
I'm looking to start building some muscle this autumn... I've done so much running the last 2 years and now I've had a rest I'm going to start picking up heavy stuff again and let the running be an accompaniment rather than the main dish.
๐Ÿ‘‰
What about you? Any new goals? Ready to try something new?

There's still time...
๐Ÿ‘‡
It's not the end of the day yet.
โ“
Why not set a goal or 2?
๐Ÿ‘‡
My current goal is to master the pistol squat.
๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
Not sure how long it'll take but I'm doing a few every day.
๐Ÿ‘‡
The fall out has been a general increase in activity after a much needed rest.
๐Ÿ™Œ
So, you have time for something, even if it's just a plan ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
What does rest mean to you?
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
I've discovered that 'rest' for me is bound up in guilt, it comes with a narrative of 'laziness' that's like a millstone.
๐Ÿคฏ
I've been distinctly below par for the last few weeks and I've had to REST.
๐Ÿ˜ณ
Until now I had no idea what ridiculous and incredibly strong associations I had with the concept of 'rest' and by rest I mean sitting down, reading or watching TV but basically doing NOTHING.
๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
So hard!
โ“
Does anyone else find it hard to stop? Hard to not at least be busy being unproductive or pottering or just doing the endless tasks (washing, clearing, emptying the dishwasher etc.)?
๐Ÿ“š
So, I've read even more books than usual (all detective fiction, fairly low grade if you're wondering), I've dangled my feet in the paddling pool, I've left jobs to accumulate and cooked oven meals. The world has continued to go round.
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
I'm feeling almost 'rested', apart from maintaining my general level of fitness I've not pushed myself at all. I've ditched planned sessions and, again, the world hasn't ended.
๐ŸŒž
I'd love to hear your thoughts on rest, I don't think I'm alone in feeling the guilt, it's tied in deeply to the Mother Load, I never felt it before kids and I've never felt it more than as a SAHM ๐Ÿ™„... ahh well, we live and learn ๐Ÿ˜‰

Happy Monday!
๐ŸŒž
With the big one out at sports club, the small one and I are going to P.L.A.Y.
๐ŸŒž
I feel hugely grateful that I have the summer hols to spend time with the boys and time to put into making plans for the autumn.
๐ŸŒž
๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
I'll also squeeze a glutes and core sesh in... 15 mins... all about maintenance ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘

It's hot as Hades out there today ๐ŸŒž
๐Ÿ™
Listen to your body, don't over do it, skip the workout if you're too hot - no need to make yourself feel crap!
๐ŸŒž
Get up early tomorrow and do it before the temperature is blistering ๐Ÿ˜‰
๐Ÿ’ช
I'm all for the saying, " the only workout you regret is the one you didn't do" MOST of the time but don't be a t**t and make yourself feel dreadful so you end up missing the next 2 workouts planned๐Ÿ˜‰
๐ŸŒž
Stick to the plan unless you need to change it. It's OK to deviate from it if it will serve you better!
โค
Drink loads of water, eat good food, get the best sleep you can.
๐ŸŒž
Today I used light weights, a band and definitely didn't over do it because I didn't feel like it. Today is a maintenance day ๐Ÿ˜‰

Low โคrate running
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
Ever tried it? What do you think?
๐ŸŒž
I love it because I'm never tired after- unless I've done a stonking long run ๐Ÿ˜‰ and even then I recover much more quickly.
๐Ÿ‘‡
How do you work out what your low hr maximum should be?
๐Ÿ‘‡
180โž–minus-โž–your age =your maximum low heart rate.
๐Ÿ˜ฑ
So, since I'm 40, my maximum hr is 140bpm. As soon as I hit that, or close to it I drop my pace- even if that's walking.
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
Sounds frustrating right? Yeah, it is a bit but not for long.
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
By running at a lower heart rate for a few months, you'll find that your usual run/race pace is actually faster!
๐Ÿ™Œ
You'll recover faster.
๐Ÿ™Œ
Your aerobic capacity without straining your body.
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
It's basically brilliant but it will snag your ego if you like to go swiftly when you're out ๐Ÿ˜‰
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
Go on, give it a go and let me know how you get on.

When I first started doing online personal training sessions I would set 'homework' for clients...
๐Ÿคฃ
I know they won't mind me saying this but it rarely happened.
๐Ÿ’ก
So I started to send mini videos on WhatsApp of our strength sessions - done for you sessions.
๐Ÿ’ซ
And that's pretty much where the idea for Kickstart Strength came from.
๐Ÿ’ฆ
During the first trial run of Kickstart Strength (which I only opened up to my email list), I realised a few things: the cardio workouts were too much and weren't allowing for the muscles to recover from the strength sessions.
๐Ÿค”
So, I went back to the drawing board and made more changes.
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
Kickstart strength combines strength workouts, low heart rate running, HIIT and sprints but most importantly, you work to the level that suits YOU.
๐Ÿ‘‡
This is possible because the programme has life-time access so you'll have a bank of workouts to dip into.
๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿผ
Nothing beats sessions with a great PT but that's not an option for everyone. My hope is that this will be something of a halfway house.
๐Ÿ˜Š
If you like my workout videos on Instagram then Kickstart Strength should appeal to you ๐Ÿ˜‰
Please DM me if you have any questions- I'd love to hear from you ๐Ÿ’—

I absolutely loved creating the content for my online course- not least because I had a 3 day mini break away to do it! ๐Ÿ˜‰

There has been so much to learn and hurdles to scramble over, don't even get me started on the technology side of things ๐Ÿคฏ
๐Ÿ’ซ
But it's very nearly here.
๐Ÿ’ซ
๐Ÿ‘‰ 28 days of planned for you sessions
๐Ÿ‘‰easy to follow instructional videos
๐Ÿ‘‰audio recordings to use for cardio sessions
๐Ÿ‘‰warm up and cool down mobilising videos
๐Ÿ‘‰printable copy for each week's sessions
๐Ÿ‘‰private Facebook group for support and bonus sessions ๐Ÿ™Œ
๐Ÿ‘‰LIFE-TIME access so you can repeat and see your progress ๐Ÿ˜ or just dip in and out when you fancy it.
๐Ÿ’ป
All accessible on your phone, laptop or whatever device you use.

๐Ÿ‘† no fun.
๐Ÿ‘‡
Kickstart Strength ๐Ÿ‘‰ yes fun.
๐Ÿ‘‡
Yes varied.
๐Ÿ‘‡
Yes weights.
๐Ÿ‘‡
Yes you can do it as many times as you want and you'll see improvement.
๐Ÿ‘‡
Yes cardio but slooow ๐ŸŒ so active recovery.
๐Ÿ‘‡
Yes sprints for massive gains๐Ÿ”ฅ
๐Ÿ‘‡
Yes more stuff will be added.

All you need right here ๐Ÿ‘†
๐Ÿง
Really?
๐Ÿ‘‡
Yup.
๐Ÿง
Listen, of course you can go to the gym and time was you couldn't get me out! I love a good gym session!
๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
And I'm sure I'll be back at a gym again some time.
๐Ÿ‘‡
But right now I'm a busy mum, I work as a supply teacher, I work as a PT and life is just not conducive to trips to a gym unless they're late at night and that ain't happening ๐Ÿ˜ด
๐Ÿ’ช
I've also kind of gone off the idea of going... for now.
๐Ÿ‘‡
So, yeah, actually all you need for some really good, varied and challenging workouts are a set of dumbbells (or 2 ๐Ÿ˜‰), a resistance band and some daps.
๐Ÿ‘Œ
Easy!
โ€ข
Well, no, it's not easy, it's still a chuffing juggle but so much easier to do a workout while the boys are trashing the joint within ear shot... it's when things go quiet I tend to take a break and find them ๐Ÿ˜‰
โ“
Are you back in the gym or still rocking the home workouts?
