⚠️ Baby Oil Alert 2/3 ⚠️

Looking back at my shoot pictures in December, just over 1 month later I can tell you now I certainly do not look like this currently…. And definitely no where near this tanned! 👻

However to stay this lean all year round is unrealistic for most. You have to be incredibly disciplined around nutrition 🥗 . Consistent with training 🏋️‍♀️ and as far away from alcohol as possible 🍺🙅🏼‍♂️ All things I DEFINITELY did not do over the last 5 weeks! 😂

Am I a bit gutted I have not controlled myself out from this condition, in short yes. However I had a brilliant Christmas and new year with my friends and family. I was lucky enough to see everyone who mean a lot to me (including my old friends Guinness ☘️ and red wine 🍷

My first week back in the gym started on Monday and I won’t lie I am sore as f*ck! 💀 However we go again, set some new goals and enjoy the process 📈 here is to 2022!

📸 UP photoshoot done and dusted! 📸

It was a tough 6 weeks, but I am happy to say carbs and I are friends again! 🥧

The next two pages show the difference in 6 weeks of cardio, training and dialled in nutrition.

(Not forgetting the difference a tan can make 👻)

There will be a lot of hours and studying 📚to put in to reach the level of the other trainers there, but I cannot wait to get started!

🌧 🇬🇧 vs 🇦🇺 Summer ☀️


Not much comparison really, however that said I am glad to be back.


I was lucky enough to work and live in Australia for a 5 months 😎


The lifestyle is very different, it has to be said. Health and fitness is so important for all ages 🏃‍♀️


We may not have the weather, but we can still get ourselves to feel, move and look better by adopting some of their ways 📝


Firstly eat a balanced diet 🥗 (I appreciate salads in the rain are not as fun). Get plenty of exercise 🏋🏼‍♂️, regardless of age and ability, there is something for everyone.


Finally well-being, doing things that help our mind and body will leave you feeling energised and happier 🧘‍♂️ 😊


But in return if Australia could share some of that sunshine with us, that would be great! ☀️ 🙏🏻

📆 It Has Been Too Long 📆


It looks like we are closing in on most things opening back up again. I can’t tell you how excited I am to get back training clients 1-1 like this 🏋🏼‍♂️


While we know normal will be a little different and important we stay safe, it is going to be great to get our freedom back again 🙏🏻


I love helping people and can’t wait to get back to it again in 🌃

☀️ Here’s to this Weather! ☀️

I think everyone can agree this has been a phenomenal weekend weather wise 🤸‍♂️

I love being outdoors and a question I ask my clients is “how much time do you spend outside on an average day” ⏰

Now this isn’t me being a nosey so and so. But more to get an indication of how much daylight the person is exposed to 🧐

There are many reasons which make this important, but for me it’s all about that Vitamin D ☀️

Getting outside more is a sure fire way to boost your Vit D Levels which in turn has been shown to benefit many things, like mood, weight loss, immune system plus much more! 👩‍⚕️

So get out in this glorious weather as much as you can 🚶‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🧗🏻‍♂️🧘🏾

You will feel loads better for it 😁

👋🏻 Remember Me? 🙋🏼‍♂️

It has been a while since my last post, as I have been concentrating on a few different things to grow the business 📈

It has been a great week with new clients joining the team 🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️ we have been laying the foundation of achieving their goals and I cannot wait to share the results 🥇🏆

Finally to take the business to the next level I started working with Mikaela and after one call I know I made the best decision. 🧠 ⚡️

Was back out shooting some new workouts today and will share them soon. Take it easy and enjoy the sun ☀️

Ps. To all the haters I told you I would get a tan 💁🏽‍♂️ that isn’t fake!

“Take me back” 🏄‍♂️
You hear that a lot at the moment. It is easy when we are locked in to think on this time I was or I should be... right now!
Looking at this photo, I had that thought 💭
However if you are able to flip that view and mindset, to something “how great was that” then you are practicing gratitude.
Not always easy especially if there is a big event like a holiday that you have missed out on.
Finding those little wins and moments you are grateful for can turn a sh*tty day 💩 into a good one pretty quickly ☀️ 👌🏻
What was yours of 2019? Surfing in the Pacific Ocean has to be up there for me!
Ps wetsuits in 30 degree heat are not the one 🥵

🎻 Who is missing the gym? 🤔
It can feel like all progress has stopped training wise or that you don’t have the kit at home to train ‘like you did’ 🏋🏼‍♂️
It’s true life without barbells is not the future I want to live in 💩
But those days will come back and if anything this gives us a chance to get creative as f@ck when it comes to training! 💡
I used to think bodyweight and bands meant boring 😒 but I was so wrong! it can be really challenging and have loved creating workouts with them! Better coach ✅
We will get under the barbells, swing those kettlebells and pump those dumbbells again soon. But until then get creative ⚡️
If you are struggling with anything fitness or nutrition related, hit the link in my bio and book in a free consultation. I would love to help and have a chat 👨🏼‍💻

💭 “Squeeze the muscle...”💭
Have you ever had a coach say this to while you were training and thought - ‘the F@ck you on about mate’? 🤷🏼
This is a phrase a lot of PT’s (including myself) will say to their clients 🗣🔈
Basically we want to increase the tension on the muscle you are working to stimulate it more.
By squeezing (contracting - geek term) the muscle, you are creating much higher stimulus in that area, leading to more possible muscle growth and can really help blast through plateaus 💪🏻🔥
This is a great tool to use when we are working out at home without access to the machines and heavier weights 🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻
