This is a bit of a different post for me, but something I have been wanting to share.

How I train to keep up with my job 🐑💪

As a lot of you guys know, I spend some time through the summer shearing sheep…

I can’t shear all year round — so I have to train smart in the off-season to get the most out of every summer. Shearing is a massive physical challenge, so this is how I have structured my training to fit around being a seasonal shearer, helping me to reach PB’s both in the gym and in the sheds…

🔹 Pre-season — Build strength & endurance. Lay solid foundations so my body is ready to handle the workload when the season kicks off.

🔹 During the season — Shift focus to mobility, flexibility, and recovery. Stretching daily, keeping loose, protecting my body so I can keep performing at my best.

🔹 Post-season — Time to rebalance, even out any gaps, maintain consistency, and build gently back up. No rush, no big pushes — just steady, gradual improvements.

I adapt my training to fit my work and my year — not the other way around.

This isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being prepared, resilient, and consistent.

And that’s exactly how I approach training my clients too: training built for YOUR life, YOUR goals, YOUR routine. No one-size-fits-all. Just what works for you.

After a quick summer break, I’m shaking up the Pilates schedule to find the perfect fit for all you fabulous folks!

Shoot me a message to snag a spot in any of the classes on this list, or if you’re itching to join but the trial dates don’t work for you.

Kicking off next Monday, 10th August, we’ll be test-driving this schedule for 4 weeks. Post-trial, I’ll whip up a brand-new timetable based on your attendance.

So, message if you’re keen,

As a coach with a massive focus on mobility, I offer many services that can help each person reach their goal! 💪
Each session, whether a personal training session or a class, is designed with intention and purpose to create the best versions of ourselves!
1-1 personal training allows you to set the goals YOU want, whatever they may be!
Through the classes we work as a team to learn and improve, whether it’s on the mat at Pilates, or during the chair class, I aim for 2 things - have a laugh and watch you improve! 🧘‍♀️
Week by week we see gradual improvements in both physical and mental capabilities. I am lucky enough to watch and be a part of goals being smashed, personal bests, and watching the enjoyment that exercise brings people! 🔥
Pop me a message if you have any questions about my services

Please share!

I’m on the hunt for a qualified fitness instructor around the Kelso area who can help me out for a few weeks through the summer!
I need someone to be able to take 2 chair exercise to music classes on Wednesdays for a few weeks.
Please message me if you can help, tag anyone that might be able to give me a hand
Cheers

A little bit about what I now offer….

I have spent the last couple of years expanding my knowledge base and earning extra qualifications to allow me to progress my business so that I can give you guys the best experience possible. I have recently gained a qualification in Swedish massage to go alongside my other credentials, which is already enhancing my ability to provide the best training and advice to all my existing and new clients.

Feel free to send me a message regarding this, I have limited availability but I’m happy to answer any questions you have. Links to book into Pilates classes and massage is in my bio. For personal training please send me a message.

💯The hundred💯, what is it and why does it seem to feature in so many Pilates classes? I know that’s exactly what you were about to ask me, right? 😉
Well here are the answers you’ve been waiting for!

What is it?
💯The Hundred is one of Joseph Pilates classical mat movements. It involves raising the legs, head and shoulders off the mat and pumping your arms up and down.

💯Now the most important part is, say it with me everyone, BREATHING! During the hundred we are inhaling for 5 counts, and exhaling for 5 counts, repeated 10 times, making a total of 100 (coincidence?🤷‍♀️)

💯The Hundred is often performed close to the beginning of a class, during or straight after the warm up…

Why?
I’m so glad you asked!

💯Blood flow… The Hundred works the entire body, increasing your heart rate. It’s a fantastic way to warm up for the class ahead!

💯Breathing… something I say about 100 times a day, whether it be throughout a Pilates class, or during a PT session: breathing is important! The hundred helps to regulate your breath and increases your oxygen intake. So much of Pilates is built on correct breathing. The Hundred sets you up for success!

💯Core… everything we do stems from our core. The hundred engages your deep core muscles, which can then help to reduce back pain, improve pelvic floor function, improve posture, improve balance, I could go on!

The Hundred can feel quite humbling, but there are so many amazing benefits to this movement. While we are going through the motions of different classes and exercises, it is important to remind ourselves of the whys. Why we are there, why these movements are going to help us.

Off the back of yesterdays post, I thought I would show a little comparison of another lovely lady I have been working with.
The same goal of ‘improve mobility’ but vastly different training.
This shows a lot on how mobility can impact EVERYONES day to day, as well as how we can better future proof now!

The sooner we start training for strength and mobility, the more our older selves will thank us
