Happy New Year! 🥳

Looking back to one of my highlights of 2025 - getting back to a Spartan race after having our daughter in 2024 🙌🏽 October’s Beast happened to fall on her first Birthday! 🎁 Now we have a future Spartan lined up! 🤗

If you’re looking for a new challenge in 2026 I really recommend trying a Spartan🛡️ They’re so much fun and a real test of what you’re capable of! 💪🏽

Come train with me and be ready for whatever awaits this year!! 😅

Looking back to a year ago today in Woolacombe 🌊 - just over a month away from having our amazing daughter - how time flies!!🤰🏽👶🏽💓

Keeping fit during pregnancy was difficult with all the changes and challenges, but it was also hard mentally having to scale back from my previous routine as I was used to hitting the gym hard before pregnancy!

Finding the right balance was important, and what worked me for was:

🚶🏽‍♀️ Walking everyday, I aimed for at least 1 hour…although some days all I managed was waddling to the fridge for another snack!

🏋🏽‍♀️ Resistance training 1-3 times a week (over the months reduced the weights and upped the reps - focus on maintaining strength and core stability)

🏊🏼‍♀️ Cardio 1-2 times a week (Spin at the start then switched to mainly swimming in 3rd trimester)

🍪 Eating well most of the time but also chomping down an entire pack of biscuits when needed!

😴 Often skipped the gym and had a nap instead!

All about keeping your body moving and energised, maintaining strength where you can (plus your sanity) and not trying to chase any PBs or pushing too hard.

Any movement you do, and getting rest when you need it, will help in the long run - both in pregnancy and once you have your little one to look after! ❤️✨

~Every pregnancy is unique so always follow the advice of your own healthcare team~

Impressive transformation from my amazing client Veena - confident now in the gym, getting so strong & growing some guns!! 💪🏽🙌🏽

Consistently putting the work in every week at the gym & always smiling 🌟😁

“I have been training with Annabel for nearly a year, and it has been physically and mentally transformative for me! I had never done strength training before and never used a “scary” machine in the gym. I have a disc bulge issue with my back so I needed to train my core for stability and I needed a trainer who appreciated my limits. And Annabel was that trainer and by training with Annabel, I grew from strength to strength, literally! My back pain subsided and I now train confidently on my own in the gym. Annabel pushed me to be better and stronger, but always at the right pace and to the right level. It has been a joy to have Annabel as my PT and I’m so glad I found Annabel - it has changed my exercise routine for life! Thank you Annabel ❤️”

Thanks Veena 🥰

Race pics from the Spartan Beast in Sussex last month with …I always love the obstacles - the worse part is still the running! 💪🏽😅❤️

If you’re after a tough challenge and don’t mind getting muddy then I recommend signing up for a Spartan! 🤩 (also helps if you like monkey bars & carrying things 🤣)

Be patient - results take time! ⏳⏲️🕰️ Consistently put the effort in at the gym 💪🏽, in your day to day 👣, and in the kitchen 🥘…whatever your goals might be, and the results will come! 📈

Super 6 month progress pics from my wonderful client D - great work! 👏🏽😊 What the pics don’t show is other progress she has made - like her motivation to come to the gym on her own between sessions, improvements in her form and pushing herself harder!🏋🏽‍♀️🙌🏽
