Your body does more than gain weight and lose weight. If you truly understood the power of your muscle, the power in your body type, the power in your mindset, (yes, you!) you wouldn’t be setting the limits you’ve put on yourself. Put yourself out of your comfort zone this weekend and do something new with that incredible body of yours. Let me know on the Facebook accountability group!

This is what I’ve been battling this week in my mind. We’re exhausted. We’re striving, hustling, tidying, cooking, booking, running errands, marathons and households… it’s draining us of our energy… but what else is it stealing from us? “It” being our western society. My answer to this question kind of demonstrates this catch 22 position. With more energy I’d basically “live” more, experience better health, better relationships. Have you ever asked yourself this question? Have you got enough energy?

Society sees a bunch of fitness fanatics. I see people choosing to invest an hour of their day to make the other 23 better for themselves and the people they serve. Society sees a bunch of fit, disciplined people, an unreachable goal. I see a group of normal people I’ve watched train at @northern_soul_fit for 5+ years get 1% everyday, without even realising it. Society sees big wooden boxes they would have thought twice about jumping on as a kid, and “no chance I’d do that now”. I see the 2 inch increments in bumper plates these guys built up from the ground to have the confidence to jump that high. Society has a box to put you in, I have a box to put you on. No matter your story, there’s a 1% improvement we can make for you tomorrow. Get out of your comfort zone and do something crazy tomorrow. Forget society. Grow into you. Message me if you’re ready to start becoming more you. In Manchester or beyond, 1% at a time.

*** Habit to try this weekend for parents *** A great way to fit in/remember to move your body each day is to get into the habit of asking your kids when they’ll move THEIR body that day. This will prompt you as well, but it’ll also teach your kids that moving is just a ordinary thing that’s part of our routine. They’ll grow up thinking that moving is just as important and non negotiable as brushing their teeth, and they don’t have to run a marathon each day - just move! Some ideas for daily move your body checklists for kids. You could…. Walk to school/shops. Do some time trials of obstacles in the park. Home assault course. Create your own workout and make a video. How long can you…. (E.g. Hold onto the monkey bars) I bet you can’t do…. (50 squats!) And if all else fails, we’ve followed some cool kids sports accounts on YouTube, so anytime we are watching tv, we’re seeing kids on bikes, skateboards, gymnastics etc. When will you move your body today?

You need to be lifting weight as if your life depends on it. Because it does. Studies now show that putting your muscles under resistance (with weights, bands, body weight, Tesco bags, children etc) increases your chances against life ending diseases. Not only that, it protects you against bone density loss, again poor posture, against falls and injuries. People usually begin lifting weights with a coach because they want to lose weight, but continue for longer because it’s mentally and physically amazing to challenge yourself under some resistance and to watch your emotional, mental and physical muscles grow. Habit for today: Ask yourself - can I make this heavier without losing my posture? Carry some weight whilst you do your walk. Lift the heavy bag a few more times. Do 3 sets of 15 Bulgarian squats on your lunch break at your desk. Make it a habit and watch your life grow.

Just a clip from my Pep Talk on the podcast to help get you up and moving every Monday. What is the one thing that stops you everyday from doing some self care? I really want to know as I build the new product for @fitting_in_fitness so please give me a DM if you think you’ve got a weird one! 🤣 We’re all weird - and we all need to move! If you’d like to have a listen - the link is in my bio ❤️

Future proof of willpower to run in Med heat. Not to self. Just do it.

A rant for those who've thought that they need to change their body recently. Your body is made perfectly, and where it is right now is just where you are. You do not need more shame to start any journey. You need to love your body before making any significant life changing changes. Everytime you catch yourself looking in the mirror too long, just take a step away and think of some things you're grateful for! Then, if you know your health needs to be a priority, then follow these steps. Move your body daily at every given opportunity Take a moment to enjoy the hormones it pumps in Use that extra energy, focus, determination and happiness to chose foods that will continue that feeling Use the fuel from the food to restart the cycle or plan the next day to MOVEYOURBODY Make sense? End body shame. Move your body. Smile at someone.

20 minutes in and out of the local gym to kick start my week with today’s @fitting_in_fitness programme. 40kg straight leg Deadlifts to strengthen and protect my back against aches in life. Inchworms to strengthen shoulders and abs for lifting my kids onto my shoulders. Ice Skaters to help strengthen the muscles around my knees to keep healing them from my football days. Squats for full body work and mental check when the thought occurs “no one is watching, I could just do 5” 🤣 but remember that a tough workout makes tough times easier. Your health isn’t just about cardio and dress size. Functional fitness helps me function. My programme costs £10 a month and is adaptable to your ability. It mixes strength and mental strength, but focuses on HABITS.

I have so much to teach and so little time!! So I've scheduled this webinar before I’ve managed to get my hair cut (brave, I know) to teach you all small things you can put in place practically to ensure that your life is moving towards health on the illness - health spectrum.  I'm so aware that our 2021 life has so little space in it for new routines, so I'm hoping that has a result you'll find from this webinar 3-4 little nuggets of knowledge that you can fit into your life.  Here's the link to sign up - copy & paste it to share with your family & friend! www.fittinginfitness.co.uk/webinar It’s in my bio! #loveyourbody #loveyourpurpose #habits #healthasahabit #smallhabitsbigchange #atomichabits #gethealthy #gethealthy2021 #moveyourbody #nobodyisnormal #antileanmovement #freehealthcoach #freeevent

Real life what it takes to get a workout in at home during the day. Don't let your circumstances (or your Sophie's) dictate your life. I find that just telling myself that I need to just move my body today stops any frustration when I don't hit peak performance in any task. We all have seasons! This is just a slower season. Your fast season will come soon enough. #workoutsforparents #intentionallife #seasons #mindset #moveyourbody
