A little update from Personal Gains:

I will be taking a couple of weeks off from personal training. My ankle is becoming increasingly more painful and swollen, due to being on my feet all day.

I need to follow the advice that I give you all regularly, which is to listen to your body. I am finding that participating in the gym and assisting clients with their sessions, is becoming more and more difficult and demanding on my foot.

The good news is the gym will remain open for personal use. I will still prepare your plans which will be easy to follow. I am also extending your sessions to one hour and including a protein snack and drink.

I will be on site when possible but not in the PT room. If you need support or guidance, I'll be able to give it to you - just text me & I'll come through!

I have spoken to some of you last week about this and I'd like to thank you all for continuing to come to the gym during my physical absence & for your understanding and support.

For those of you who don't use Facebook, I will be in touch separately over the weekend.
I know that you might get to know through others that do...so please await a personal message. I will be in touch with everyone over the weekend with your appointment times.

Thank you.

Get used to seeing my extra body part! 🦿

I've had several clients and associates recently asking why they see me wearing the medical boot sometimes but not all the time.🤔

To clear up any misunderstanding of its use - it is simply to stabilise my 'end stage' arthritic ankle whilst weight bearing and walking. I do not particularly enjoy wearing it of course, but it does do it's job & makes life pain free, which is a huge relief. 😮‍💨

I am now on the waiting list for a full ankle replacement, but I could be waiting anywhere from this week, up to a year! 👎

You will often see me working in it, simply because I'm on my feet most of the day in the gym. You will also see me walking in it, if I need to walk further than 100 metres! 😕

You will not see me in it on a night out! 😃 (Only, if I have to walk any distance). However, you'll definitely see a carrier bag with me, containing my essentials, ie, my beautiful shoes, to change in to!! 😁 👠

You will neither see me in it, if I'm doing my own personal workouts in the gym, or if I'm cycling.This is simply because, I usually only exercise for 45 -60 mins at a time in the gym. Whilst cycling, there's usually not much pressure going through my ankle, so no need to wear it.

I'm still exercising weekly, I'm still working, I haven't given up!! I'm simply adapting to my extra body part! 😊

My Grandchildren have got the right idea! 😁

Why use their own legs, when Mummy's and Grandma's will do! 🦵 😂
