Feel good Friday...
.
It’s not my happy news I’m sharing... but I bet the photo got your attention 😉
.
Six months ago I met a really special client with a really special goal ♥️
.
Swipe the image to see the text I received yesterday... I swear if I could bottle this feeling I’d be a billionaire.
.
She did ALL the work, I just gave her the tools to get the job done. But what I’ve learnt and what @martinnutrition and @macnutrition have taught me is that it takes knowledge, science, experience and empathy to know what tools to use for what client.
.
I could have put her into a huge calorie deficit and hoped for the best... but experience and knowledge of my client told me it would undoubtedly lead to bingeing and feelings of failure.
.
She needed building up, not something else that was going to tear her down.
.
So we went steadily and we increased physical activity hugely. She’s not only lost weight but she’s so much fitter, healthier and stronger... she’s a little pocket rocket too, flew round her first non-stop 5k in sub 35 minutes!!
.
And now exercise is such a part of life that we will keep it up through the IVF and beyond... and hopefully she’ll be buggy running before we know it. ♥️
.
Happy bloody Friday 🥰🥰🥰

Do you lift? 😍
.
I talk a lot about the benefits of strength training. They are numerous, well documented and proven by extensive high quality research.
.
Here’s something you might not know if you’ve always avoided the free weights part of the gym...
.
In addition to:
🌟 Reduced injury risk,
🌟 Improved strength, balance, stability & flexibility,
🌟 Improved posture,
🌟 Improved sleep,
🌟 Improved bone density...
.
Other side effects of picking up a barbell include euphoria and feeling like an absolute, total badass 💪🏼
.
These last couple of days I’ve felt a little overwhelmed and anxious... today pulling a 100kg deadlift reminded me just how strong and capable I am.
.
Give it a try - drop me message if you want some advice or ask someone at the gym for help if you’re nervous. Any good PT will spare you a few minutes to get you started.
