Okay so I lovingly called out the girlies in the BRC check in today for this

As if tomorrow you’re going to suddenly wake up desperate to go to the gym, hit your protein, drink your water and sort your life out

Come on gals, does tomorrow’s version of you know what you’re signing her up for??

She’s also got enough on her plate

If anything, she’s relying on today’s version you to stop passing the buck and expecting her to do the things you’re not willing to do 👀☕️

So maybeeee it’s time to just do the thing even when you can’t be arsed ✨💫

Bench press block week 3 coming in haaawwttt ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The girls are already looking SO strong (when are they not) so let’s see what the next two weeks brings 🤩

Also just a friendly reminder, you don’t have to be able to lift the same weight as these gals either! As one of the girlies said in week one, we all have to start somewhere! An empty bar, a set of dumbbells, the main thing is just giving it a try 🫶🏼

📅 Wednesdays 7:30pm

The older I get, the more I realise there are a lot of things that feel better than being skinny

And this is coming from someone who thought she still had more weight to lose in that first pic (hello never-ending moving goalposts)

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight, improve your health or feel more confident in your body

But if the pursuit of being ‘skinny’ means you can’t enjoy all the other things on this list, literally what’s the point?

P.S. there will absolutely be a part two so buckle in x

A big ole round up from the past few weeks 💫

May was a manic month and June has somehow managed to feel just as busy but in a completely different way

Got myself back into the flow of a routine again, even if my training hasn’t felt quite as much of a slay as I’d have liked (hello bad back Alex x)

Still been ticking the boxes regardless and kickstarted a little fat loss phase too

I’ve always said I like to sit within a healthy 5kg range and I’d definitely crept up thanks to all the fun stuff I’d had going on for a couple of months

But we’re 3kg down and unfortunately that means the insufferable mirror selfies are back x

(Life is better when you feel good about yourself, however that looks for you)

Too many rainy walks to count

Actually, I don’t even want to count. I just want some sunshine please

Lots of slowing down for wholesome activities too

Peep the baby radishes aka the first plant I’ve managed to not kill off (idec how easy they are to grow, let me have the w) 🌱

Also spent a lot of time sat at my desk working awayyyy and honestly, I’m quite proud of that

My productivity massively ebbs and flows with my cycle so the fact I’ve managed to keep showing up consistently feels like a little win

We wrapped up our 14 Day Consistency Reset this week and our very first round of Foundations has officially started 🥹

And as always, my brain is absolutely full to the brim with ideas for how to make the coaching experience even better

Apparently she’s got no plans of quietening down anytime soon so I guess it’s time for a little brainstorm about what’s next ✨

I wasn’t sure whether to post this but here is my tangent for part two and let me add some nuance to this…

Basically the thing I keep coming back to is this…

If your body confidence only exists when your body is the trend, is it actually body confidence?

And I totally get that celebs and influencers are just humans too with their own relationship with their bodies

But how many people built brands, followings and businesses around body confidence, body positivity and loving yourself as you are...

Only for their bodies to change the second the beauty standard changed??

Because if your confidence is dependent on your body type staying in fashion, that’s not really confidence

And unfortunately these people do have huge influence

Millions of women and young girls watch them, trust them and often buy from them

So when somebody spends years telling you to love yourself as you are, then quietly shrinks themselves when skinny becomes fashionable again, I think it’s fair to question whether they ever truly believed what they were selling

Or whether they were just comfortable whilst they happened to fit the trend

And just remember the trends are constantly changing so if we’re going to do the work on body image to stop feeling like crap every time that happens

It has to go deeper than that

Otherwise we’re just chasing whichever body type society decides is worthy next

Most of the things women apologise to me for are things I couldn’t care less about

And I honestly love the fact my clients feel comfortable talking to me

I’ve had clients tell me things they’ve never felt able to say to previous coaches

Because these things matter

The main thing I care about is honesty

Tell me if you’re struggling
Tell me if the plan isn’t working
Tell me if you’re overwhelmed
Tell me if something feels harder than it should

Because I can only support you with the things I know about 💗

Even if I WANTED to fit the current trend, my body was never going to be built for it

Even at my smallest I’d have been too muscular (by who’s standards though I’m not sure)

Some girls are meant to be slim built
Some girl aren’t

We’d all be a hell of a lot happier though if we stopped acting like we can change our bodies every 5-10 years ultimately being disappointed when it doesn’t fit whatever’s “in”

And I know from experience that it can take an absolute tonne of work to get there

But from someone who’s spent the past few years working on it, I now have a lifetime of not worrying about the trends

I just want the same for you too 🫶🏼💫

(I did go off on a slight tangent so there might be a part 2 if I’m brave enough 🤐)

not at all directly related to fitness but I can’t be the only one who would rather see a crappy canva graphic than the sameeee AI generated ones everywhere? surelyyy

The video might be a dead giveaway but our focus for June isssss… bench press 🥁

The girls requested and as always, their lifting fairy godmother delivers 🪄

Also the fact we’ve got:
✨ gals that have been regulars for god knows how long as well as new girlies
✨ gals lifting 32kg KB (begrudgingly) or making adaptations for niggles
✨ special appearances of little lifters

Makes me so bloomin happy 🥹🥰
