A Body Forever #2

18/02/2025

I’m turning 40 this June, and I can confidently say I look and feel better than I did at 20. I’m taking charge of my pre-perimenopause journey, ensuring it doesn’t take charge of me.

If you’re in your late 30s or early 40s and want guidance on getting into the best shape possible for this next stage of life, DM me. I’m now offering health assessments at my London studio to help women navigate perimenopause—understanding where you are and what steps you need to take to feel strong, confident, and in control.

Let’s take on this next chapter together!

Your spine makes up half your body.
So often we only move in one or two directions.
Good spine mobility is important for many reasons:

*Reducing back pain
*Joint health
*Function of the nervous system
*Balance and stability
*Enhanced breathing
*Overall muscular balance and function
*Improved circulation

Emotional trauma and stress can manifest itself in many ways and can affect our body showing up as:

*Muscel tension
*Postural changes
*Central nervous system impact
*Psychosomatic symptoms

Move your spine, breath, release, let things flow.

To be honest this is also relevant with drinks. Fake drinks, fake foods, it’s not good for you. It is a fact.

There is so much s**t on the market these days it’s ridiculous and I think the health and fitness industry has a lot to answer for. I see influencers doing “a day of food” etc. and I will see packet protein bars and snacks. Why? Why would you choose packet food over real food? Chemicals over nutrients. It is a no brainer. I don’t even like protein powder to be honest but, everything in moderation.

I am not saying I don’t eat packet food. I am busy, I am on the go a lot, but I am super conscious about the type of packet food, and it definitely isn’t my go too. It is in desperation if I haven’t been organised or on the weekend when I want to eat my fav salt and vinegar crisps.

Awareness is the first step. Be conscious of the food you eat and what you drink. Look at the ingredients, some packet food is better than others.

Love Amy.

There are many ways to train but split training for me has been the most effective for my body. If you want to bulk, you go to town and break each day up - chest, back, legs, etc. but for me I like to group it. I want long and lean.

1 x Lower Body - in this reel there is a bit of upper body, some days I will purely focus on lower body.
1 x Upper Body
1 x Cardio / HIIT
1 x Mat Pilates (ABF)
1 x Reformer Pilates

This is basically my week. Sometimes I will also dedicate my reformer workouts to either lower or upper.

I feel I get the most out of my lower and upper body days when I dedicate my session and exhaust the muscles. I have seen changes in my body and really notice a difference, plus being religious about how consistent I am.

If you have been training for ages and aren’t seeing any results you may have your weekly split wrong? Too much of one thing, not enough of another. Stay connected and in-tune with your body and don’t forget to ask for help if you are in doubt.

Love Amy.

124 DAYS LEFT OF 2023

The question is - what are you going to do with it. As a society we live in a yearly cycle. The years have ebbs and flows and mini seasons within. Some parts of the year we are working harder and others not so much. This is life.

Most of us slow down come December and then everyone is full steam ahead come January. This means we have from now until December to kick some goals in the butt.

I offer a 90 Day Elevated programme which is perfect for busy women who need coaching, guidance and mentoring within the health and fitness industry. I am able to help anyone who is willing to do the work and the results are guaranteed.

In 90 days you will....
*H**e more energy
*Get fitter, stronger and more toned
*Feel more confident
*Sleep & eat better
*Shift weight (not that this is a focus, it is a bonus)
*Help you come in 2024 a step ahead of everyone else

This programme is so easy. You just have to follow my steps, and everything will follow.

If you want to know more, DM for details.

Love Amy ###x

ELIMINATE BACK PAIN | THE IMPORTANCE OF THORACIC EXTENSION

As we age, we tend to lose mobility in our back – especially our thoracic spine. The thoracic spine/upper back makes up 80% of our trunk rotation and is really important for keeping our neck, shoulders and arms healthy and pain free. The thoracic spine and rib cage create a stable base for your neck and shoulders to sit on, so they can function efficiently. An immobile thoracic spine forces the lower back, shoulders and neck to work harder as they are now placed in inefficient positions, which over time, can cause pain and dysfunction.

In this video I demonstrate how to extend properly over a barrel, but these teaching tips can cross over to any time you are extending your thoracic.

Abs on

Neck long

Head heavy in hands

Shoulders down and away from the ears

Ribs in, anchor your hips

Breath

It is always nice to move from extension to flexion (rounding the spine) to really get the back moving. Then of course, going into rotation and lateral flexion to finish.

People with exceptional neck and back mobility (i.e. gymnasts and dancers) are usually able to extend their necks with no issues, it also looks better in photos, but it is always about understanding what you are doing, where you should be feeling it and eliminating tension in the body when you do it. We carry a lot of tension in our necks so you could really injure yourself if the neck is not supported.

Back mobility is really important. Don’t forget to take time out to stretch your spine most days or after every workout.
