'I'm not at my pre baby weight'...

Or I just want to get back to my pre baby body...🚫
After pregnancy and birth you'll never have your 'pre baby body' cause girl your body made a freaking life.
Your body changed, it grew, it stretched, it nourished and delivered that little life.

It may have changed but it's just as beautiful as it ever was!

Yes we can lose weight again, yes we can tone up our stomach or get back to the exercise we did before but don't rush your body and don't pressure yourself to get there. Focus on nourishing it first, focus on your self care (cause mamma's we know we're the first ones to forget it!), focus on all the amazing things it accomplished.

And think about what our babies learn if they see us punishing our bodies for putting on weight during pregnancy and post partum 💕

Covid Recovery and Exercise

*Remeber to get the OK from your doc before exercise especially with long covid or after a serious covid infection*

I've worked with a few clients with long covid (with the OK from their docs). Mostly it's been about taking it slow, listening to the body, and building in lots of recovery.

Even if you've only had a mild case our body needs time to recover to be back on top of its game, good options are: walking, yoga, pilates, or light weights sessions to slowly build back up 💪

My covid recovery work out today consisted of: light upper body, pilates, basic yoga poses 😌

There's always a reason...
Sometimes I forget to tell clients exactly WHY we're doing something but there's always a reason.
Single leg and uni Lateral movements like the push ups above are great for:
-Engaging core muscles
-Highlighting strength differences between sides
-Allowing us to work harder on weaker sides by adding extra reps

Please excuse the baby food on my top and the toys in the background 🤣🙄👶

Food waste and meal planning 🍲

1/3 of the food that's grown is wasted and one of the best ways to save on food waste is to meal plan.

Aaand one of the best ways to hit our macros is... meal plans!

So for anyone that wants to hit their goals and help the environment meal planning is one easy way to do both 👌

Tips to keeping you fuller for longer 🥑

1. Eat more protein. It fills you up and fuels muscle growth

2. Eat more fibre

3. Eat foods that are thicker in consistency

4. Give yourself 20 minutes. It takes your body around 20 minutes to signal that 'full feeling' to your brain after a meal.

I'm never going to recommend going hungry to my clients. It's about what we eat, portion control and slow sustainable progress. If we want changes that stick we need to think about creating sustainable habits not crash diets ✔️

And breeeathe

My best tip for core work. Breathe!

If we hold our breath it stops our core working in a functional way.
Which means lost opportunity to get the most out of our exercise and increase our functional core strength.

Yes, holding our breath can increase our spinal stability for certain exercises BUT most of the time we won't need this in a core exercise 👏

Sometimes it's hard to prioritise fitness and eating.
I've never felt that more than I do now.
Having a complicated birth, a baby with reflux, and a partner that works away has taught me that sometimes it's just not possible to do all the things all the time.
In fact sometimes it's not possible to do anything except get through the worst days.
But...
-Our progress and results will vary depending on what we prioritise

-You have to balance your ideal with your real.
Is it achievable for you and your life style?

-Are you willing to make the sacrifices needed for that goal?

Looking forward to bootcamps this week 😁

5 Mintute Friday ✨

Do you have a 🍑 or a 🥞?

The answer can affect your pelvic floor. Strong glutes help our pelvic floor = less leaking

If you want to improve your pelvic floor then check out your peach. Is it weak? Are the muscle too tight? Do you tuck your bum under for more stability (I. e a pancake)?

If the answer's yes to any of these then you have a great starting point 👌

Get those glutes working!
