Train with Aldine

9 months postpartum and feeling like me again 💪🏽 .... 2 months until I reach my goal

I'm not one of those women who snapback and baby weight has never fallen off me without effort. Breastfeeding seems to make me hang on to a few survival lbs contrary to popular belief.

For any mothers out there who feel like it's a struggle, please be assured you're not alone. This s**t is hard!

My biggest hack is to set yourself a goal and keep patiently chipping away day by day. Some days you'll smash it, some days you'll fall down, the important thing is you pick yourself up and keep going. You're gonna get there, it just might take a bit longer 🤎

This is your sign to get your self prepped for the week ahead. Your future hungry busy self will thank you 🙏🏽

If you're approaching or experiencing menopause, self care has never been more essential ....

I coach a number of women at this stage in life and symptoms vary massively. Whilst it's not a one size fits all solution, here are some key habits that help most ➡️

Why I love coaching women . . .

🩷 I spent too many years of heartache trying to find a way to love my body. I'm here to guide you in ways I never was.

🩷 Many women never know what it feels like to be strong and healthy. This is your right not a luxury. I'm coaching you to be more warrior and less of a slave to cardio.

🩷 Most of my clients are intelligent and successful women. All they need is accountability, structure and a little education to build a better lifestyle. I give you the tools, you are the one with the power.

🩷 Highs, lows, tears, victories. I'm here for it all. I've been there and you should never apologise for finding this tough. I want you to win and support is a big part of that.

Thank you to all the awesome women who trust me to coach you week in week out. Always proud 💪

Had the best day with these girls!

Being confident in your own skin is one of the best feelings 👊

Monday thoughts ... Don't let fear make decisions for you 💚

I hear you! Fat Loss can be challenging.

Like anything tough, there is a skill to doing it more comfortably. The good news is, once learnt you have a great base to get and stay lean for life.

Swipe for the hacks I use when in a fat loss phase without suffering from too many hangry episodes .....

As a beginner, I made the mistake of just moving weight from A to B without any thought as to what I was trying to achieve. Things to think about when you're next training:

💪 Am I feeling this movement where I should be? For example, are your quads or hamstrings taking over in the hip thrust? If so, lower the weight!

💪 Am I rushing through the movement in my desire to get this done? Tempo (think slow and controlled) is often a better tool than slamming more weight on the bar.

💪 Can I reposition my feet/hip angle/posture to bring the desired muscle to the party? Experiment.

💪 Is another muscle kicking in when the primary mover is fatigued? For example, is my lower back kicking in when my glutes are not firing or engaging.

And remember, we all have different physiology, limbs, strengths and weaknesses. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for all. Find what works for you and if in doubt ask your coach 💚

Your journey starts with you putting yourself first 💚

It's mother's day 💝💝💝 remind yourself you're doing the best you can .....

When little people rely on you, it's easy to lose your way and forget your own needs.

Parenting yourself with compassion and discipline is just as important in setting standards for your family. That oxygen mask theory is an essential one 🙏

Set yourself up for success ....
