75 DAY FITNESS CHALLENGE – WHO’S IN? 💪

I’m starting again on Monday 16th March.

After injury I know exactly what I need to focus on:
• Ankle strength and mobility
• A steady calorie deficit
• Being consistent

Nothing fancy. Just turning up every day.

And here’s the motivation…

☀️ There are about 77 days until the start of summer (1st June) — enough time to make a real difference to your fitness, strength and confidence.

For 75 days the rules are simple:

✅ Eat well
💧 Hydrate properly
🏃 Move your body every day

It doesn’t have to be extreme.
A walk, a class, strength work, mobility, a run… it all counts.

If you miss a day…
You add it on at the end.

Because this challenge is about accountability and consistency, not perfection.

And this is especially important for women in perimenopause and menopause.

Research shows hormonal changes during menopause can lead to loss of muscle mass, reduced bone density, fatigue, poor sleep and weight gain. Regular exercise helps counteract these changes and improve overall health and quality of life.

Regular movement can help:

🔥 Maintain muscle mass
🔥 Support metabolism
🔥 Improve mood and sleep
🔥 Reduce anxiety and brain fog
🔥 Strengthen bones and joints

Movement really does become one of the most powerful tools for health and wellbeing.

So here’s the plan…

👇 Comment “I’M IN” and tag me underneath this post.
I’ll add everyone to a Messenger group so we can check in daily, share progress and keep each other motivated.

And if you want some support with your training, come along to Chris’s CAW Fitness sessions.

They’re not just about exercise — they’re about community, encouragement and keeping fitness part of our future.

So whether you're returning from injury like me, wanting to lose weight, build strength, or support your body through menopause…

This challenge is for you.

Starting Monday 16th March.

Let’s hold each other accountable. 💪

CAW Fitness & Wellbeing
It starts with accountability.

Chris taking on The Grizzly 9 Miler today… and if you know this race, you know it’s no joke. 🏃‍♂️⛰️
A tough, hilly course that really tests your legs, lungs… and mindset.
Watch his core — upright, strong, controlled.
That’s the key to a powerful running position and efficient movement, especially when the hills start biting.
At CAW Fitness we focus on building strong foundations:
✔️ Core strength
✔️ Running posture
✔️ Mental resilience
Because when your form is right, the miles feel easier… even on the hills.
And remember…
“Hills are friends.” 🤣
Want to run stronger, move better and push your limits?

Well done to everyone who ran Stubbington 10k today 🎖️

Last year we ran Woolacombe Dunes parkrun while hosting one of our Devon retreats.

This year’s retreat (29 May – 2 June) is based nearby, making it a lovely option for anyone who enjoys destination parkruns alongside time to rest, walk, and reset.

Not a running camp — just movement, nature, good food, and recovery.

We currently have 6 spaces remaining.

Message me if you’d like more details.
