Know your numbers! 🙏🏻❤️

High blood pressure often has no symptoms. But knowing your numbers could be lifesaving.

In the UK, it's estimated that up to 5 million people have undiagnosed high blood pressure. The best thing to do is get your blood pressure checked at your GP surgery or at a pharmacy or buy a monitor to use at home.

If you have any questions or need support, we're here to help. ❤️

Real talk…

2 years and 3 months after Achilles tendon rupture, and I am getting closer to a full bodyweight single-leg calf raise with no support. 🌟

What should I tell myself?

Not everyone gets here.
Not everyone fights to get here.
But I did. And I still do!

What this means…

2 years and 3 months.
I've stayed in rehab longer than most would.
I'm not there yet, but I can see the finish line.

I don't just hope.
I want it!

What it took to get here…

✨ Patience – I didn't rush it. I didn't give up!

✨ Consistency – I kept showing up !Regardless…

✨ Learning to listen – I modified based on how I felt. I embraced setbacks…

✨ Resilience – 2 years and 3 months… and I'm still trying…

✨ Determination – I'm not settling for "good enough." I want as much back as I can get.

✨ Compassion – I learned to support my body and get on my own side.

I'm not there yet…
But I'm closer than I've ever been!

And I'm not stopping. 💖

Every rep.
Every session.
Every week.

And when I finally do that first full bodyweight, no-support single-leg calf raise?

That won't just be a rep, that will be my victory. 🌟💪🏻💖

Stay on your journey!
Fight for what matters to you!
Nothing about this is easy, but we learn to love it, because every bit of it teaches us something about ourselves.

We must find value in all of it…🌟

Here’s to Strength! 💪🏻🏋🏻‍♀️

Not the loud kind…
Not the kind that never falls…
But the kind that gets back up, every single time!

The kind that shows up, even when it’s hard…
The kind that keeps going, even when no one’s watching…
The kind that takes 2 years and 3 months to do one single-leg calf raise, with support,
and still calls it a win!

Go get your goals! 🌟✨💪🏻💖🥳

Life isn't always easy.
Work might be hard.
Your body might be struggling in one way or another…

But you still showed up!

I see you!
I see your progress!
I see your consistency!
I see your discipline!

You are amazing!!!

Keep going! Keep showing up! Keep trusting the process!

See you next week. 💪

What’s the best thing you can do today that will lead to a strong future self?🤔

Not the hardest workout…
Not the most painful finisher…
Not the one that leaves you unable to walk tomorrow…

The answer?

✨Lift heavy enough that your muscles have to adapt

✨Add weight or reps over time 👉progressive overload

✨Show up consistently, even when you don't feel like it

✨Prioritise recovery like it's part of the workout

✨Stop chasing the burn and start chasing the load

✨Good night sleep…because your recovery depends on it

And use the best fuel…

✨Protein to repair
✨Fibre to fill you
✨Greens to nourish
✨Water to keep everything moving

Honest work that compounds over time.

Your future self is watching!
Make them proud!🙏🏻🌟

Did a "gentle stretching Qigong" course yesterday…

My body this morning: "Gentle? GENTLE?!" 🤭

Tai Chi takes "keeping it gentle" on a whole new level! 🤣

Calves 👉shouting! Back 👉side-eyeing me! Forearms 👉why?!

Would get humbled again though.😆 Love it! ☯️

Went for a walk and kept the “gentle” going…😁🐶

My client, James, is training for Born Survivor in Lancashire this September. He is taking on this event with some of his friends.

BORN SURVIVOR is a military assault course themed event, designed by former Royal Marines Commandos.

It’s going to be muddy, brutal, military-style obstacles, freezing water, hills that never end, and a lot of crawling through stuff you'd rather not think about. 😬

They are raising money for CALM, a su***de prevention charity that runs a helpline and provides vital resources for people who are struggling. It's a cause that matters to them, and I wanted to share their donation link to help push them closer to their target.

Every donation, no matter how small, matters! Let’s give them a little boost!
😁💪🏻🙏🏻
