Oh hey! It’s been a while and time for an update/real talk🙋🏼‍♀️

I’m now almost 7 months postpartum and have I seen a huge improvement in my strength and fitness? No.
Am I still trying to squeeze in movement/workouts where I can? Yes.
Throw in a little holiday, sleep regressions and a bunch of winter illnesses and this road to rebuilding my fitness has definitely taken a few steps back. Or at least some minor detours along the way!
Does that mean I’m not trying my best? Hell no.
Does it mean I should just not bother at all? Not in my opinion.

We keep trying. Take each day as it comes. And don’t worry if this new chapter feels like a long one. Because either way this kid is going to have a strong Mumma with him every step of the way 💪🏻

PS. Yes I’m still enjoying the coffee and cake days that maternity leave can bring ☕️🍰
PPS. To my previous clients and anyone wanting 100% motivational fitness content. I thank you for your ongoing patience 🙏🏻😂

Postpartum recovery is a WILD ride. And I want to make clear that whilst I started building exercise back into my ‘routine’ after 6 weeks, that may not be appropriate or of any desire for all new mums👌🏼

It’s a lot of bodyweight, bands or more often using my rapidly growing 2 month old as a weight so he gets his cuddles💕

The workouts are shorter which requires being efficient. Sometimes I get 40 minutes in, other times it’s 5 minutes.🤷🏼‍♀️

Making the time will feel challenging. Because when they nap it’s a choice of getting your own sleep/rest, exercising or doing one of the other many admin/household tasks that take up your life⏰

And most importantly, reminding yourself that your brain and body is still recovering from pregnancy and birth. So take the pressure off and take your time to build back up ☺️

💥 3 tips for Kickstarting any Fitness Routine💥

As I restart my fitness routine in my postpartum era, it’s definitely reminded me of a few things about getting back into or beginning a new fitness regime.

1️⃣ Keep an eye on the big goal, but focus on the first step.
And then the next little step.
And then the one after that. Don’t expect to be able perform at level that looks like the end goal. Start with where you are and build from there.

2️⃣ Quality > Quantity.
It can be tempting to go in all guns blazing and do too much too soon. Focus on the quality of your movements and training sessions. Train safely and listen to your body while learning what it’s capable of. 20-30 minutes of focussed movement is most often better than hours of random stuff.

3️⃣ Believe in your ‘WHY’.
Whether it’s to feel boost your mental health. To improve your 5km run time. Or to look after your body in your new season as a mum 🙋🏼‍♀️ Your reason to move needs to be personal and important enough to you, to drive you on those days where motivation and/or willpower are maybe a little low.

And a bonus no. 4️⃣!

Believe in yourself, you’ve got this ✊🏼

3 Simple Daily Health Habits I’m aiming for as a new mum, and are 100% appropriate for anyone 👏🏻

1. Get outdoors for a walk ☀️
Especially now we’re in the summer months get outdoors to move and soak up that Vitamin D. Even if it’s not blazing sunshine, time spent outdoors can boost your mental health and help build up your overall daily movement.

2. Drink 2-3 Litres of Water 💧
It’s basic but it’s important. Keep yourselves hydrated to boost your brain function, skin, energy levels and so much more. For me, breastfeeding is thirsty work so you best believe I’ve got a bottle of water by my side the majority of the time.

3. Do my Pelvic Floor Exercises 👌🏼
Pregnancy and birth puts a lot of strain and pressure on your pelvic floor. So gradually building in some pelvic floor and breathing exercises, will help re-strengthen your core and to get your moving with more confidence and minimise those leaks and accidents. Equally, everyone should be doing pelvic floor exercises, no matter your age or gender.

I may be tapping out of the PT game for a little bit whilst I wait on the arrival of Baby Smith👶🏼 But knowing my clients feel confident and strong to continue building on their own fitness levels/goals makes the whole process easier for both me and them! 👏🏻

Coaching clients 1-1 allows me to help them build the foundations and learn how to train safely and effectively. Plus nudge them outside that comfort zone to ultimately keep progressing forward 📈

I’ll miss working with my clients while I have this break. But ultimately if I’ve helped someone enjoy exercising, learn about their bodies and all it’s capabilities, and kickstarted a solid health/fitness routine that will hopefully last 🤞🏻… Then to me that’s a huge win and a job well done 🏆

Are you running the London Marathon this weekend? 🏃🏼‍♀️

Here are 4 last-minute tips to help you smash it on race day!

1️⃣ Don’t Try Anything New👌🏼
Stick to the gear, nutrition, and pacing you’ve trained with. Race day is not the time to experiment!

2️⃣ Fuel Up Smart🍌
Yes carb-load the day before with but something you know will sit well with your stomach. Have a light, familiar breakfast at least 2–3 hours before the start and then whatever gels/snacks/liquids you’ve practised with other the past few months.

3️⃣ Start Slow, Finish Strong🚀
The crowd and adrenaline can tempt you to go fast—resist it! Save your legs and run your own race at your pace.

4️⃣ Soak in the Vibes✨
The Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace—and thousands cheering you on. Take it all in. You’re part of something epic.

You’ve done the hard work already, so get out there and you’ll be incredible 🏅

Happy Bank Holiday weekend ☺️

Clocking off work for the weekend, and for a little while longer… While I do still have one more week left of training 1-1 clients, yesterday marked my last day coaching at Gather Training as I start my maternity leave 🤰🏼 A studio I’ve worked at for almost a decade with lots of fond memories, and many 6am starts 😵‍💫😂 So I just wanted to say a quick thanks to all the awesome clients and fellow coaches for being so supportive, particularly throughout this whole pregnancy. And generally making GT an incredible community to be apart of 💚

I hope everyone has a relaxing Easter 🐣 now pass me a Hot Cross Bun and some Mini Eggs 🙌🏼

Little repost and reminder as we head towards the Easter weekend 🐣

Enjoy the time off if you have it. Take some time to rest and relax whether you are seeing friends and family or keeping it low-key😊

And know that you don’t need to ‘earn’ the calories for your Easter Eggs, or any other treats for that matter 🍫

✨Pregnancy Friendly Morning Mobility✨

And equally useful for anyone with tight hips or upper back 😊

1. Adductor Rock Backs: Keep your extended leg as straight as possible as you guide your hips back to your heel.
2. Elevated Cat/Cow: Using a ball or chair/sofa all the chest to drop towards the floor whilst keeping pressure through your palms to stay flat. Slowly tuck your pelvis to curl and round the spine. Think about each vertebrae of your spine sequentially moving one by one for both directions.
3. Deep squat with twists: Aim to have your feet flat on the floor, so adjust the width of your feet or squat depth accordingly. Use your elbows to keep the knees out and aim to have a lengthened spine (no slouching!). For the twist reach one hand towards the floor and look towards the top hand.

Aim for 1-2mins of each daily to help ease out your hips, hamstrings, back and shoulders ☺️

Yogi, triathlete, dancer, gym bunny, runner…

I’m a big fan of moving my body in different ways and certain styles of movement will peak my interest more in different phases of my life.

When you have a fitness goal it can be so easy to pigeon hole yourself to stick solely to one form of exercise. And YES if you have a running goal for example, the actual running will and should take up a high % of your training. However, your body will benefit from including other forms of movement into your week not only to supplement and support your fitness goals. But also to work on other aspects of your physical health and fitness.

Be a Runner who strength trains 🏃🏼‍♀️💪🏻
Be a Crossfitter who does yoga 🏋🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️
Be a Dancer who goes climbing 💃🏼🧗‍♀️

Because it’s totally ok to have your ‘thing’ 😊

But a little sprinkling of other ways of moving is equally great too 👏🏻
