Something is better than nothingā¦
I really couldnāt be fu**ed training today.
Itās been a busy week so far. I wasnāt feeling 100%; my energy was low, and after lunch I sat on the couch and stuffed half a packet shortbread into my face š Honestly, I couldāve quite happily stayed there.
I normally drive across town to train and today I just couldnāt be bothered. So instead, I looked at what I had at home and told myself Iād just do three things from my programme.
And thatās exactly what I did.
Did I enjoy it? Not really š Did I suddenly feel amazing once I started? Nope. But Iām always telling my clients that something is better than nothing, so today I had to take my own advice.
You donāt have to smash every workout. You donāt have to do everything thatās written on your programme. You donāt even have to enjoy it! Sometimes you just need to show up and do what you can with what youāve got.
Three things, two things, even one thing.
Because one thing is still better than nothing.
Just a Thursday afternoon reminder from a coach, who for today really couldnāt be fu**ed either. š

š One last ask.
For the past few weeks, Iāve been taking part in the Push-Up Challenge alongside an incredible community of people, all raising money to support mental health.
Together, our Club Lime Moonee Beach Community has already raised over $1,500 for headspace Coffs Harbour, and Iād love to see us reach $2,000 today.
If youāve been following along, liking the posts, cheering us on, or youāve been meaning to donate but havenāt quite got around to it, this is your reminder.
Mental health touches every single one of us. Whether itās you, someone you love, a friend, a colleague or a family member, most of us know just how important it is that support is available when itās needed.
Thatās why Iām askingājust one last time. If you can spare $5, $10 or whatever feels right, Iād be so grateful. Every dollar helps ensure young people in our local community can access support through headspace Coffs Harbour.
Letās see if we can push our community over the $2,000 mark today. šŖ
Thank you to everyone whoās already donated, shared the fundraiser, or completed push-ups this month. Youāve made a real difference. ā¤ļø

What a beautiful way to spend a Saturday morning. šæ
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Yoga & Meditation Workshop this morning. It was so lovely to see so many familiar faces come together, slow down for a couple of hours, and make some time for themselves. Between the movement, breathwork, relaxation and connection, it really was a special morning.
A big thank you as well to the wonderful Tiina for sharing her knowledge and creating such a calm and welcoming space. š
Iām incredibly grateful to have such a supportive community. Thanks for spending your morning with us. āØ

Something I noticed this morning at the gym.
The people who keep showing up week after week and actually get results? Every single one of them has a plan.
Not a perfect plan. Not a complicated one. But they know what theyāre doing when they walk through that door.
The ones who are winging it? You can spot them. Drifting between machines, doing a bit of this, a bit of that. Nothing wrong with being there, but thereās a big difference between showing up and training with purpose.
If you want to stop feeling like youāre wasting your time, a plan is where it starts.

That kid in these photos wasnāt sporty, wasnāt confident, and definitely wasnāt getting picked first.
And thatās exactly why I coach the way I do.
Because I remember what it felt like walking into something and thinking everyone else just knew what they were doing and I was just⦠not that person.
So when I tell you to keep it simple, to just show up, to stop waiting until you feel ready, I mean it. Not because it sounds nice, but because itās what actually works.
And just remember, Iām not special. Iām just someone whoās done this more times than you have.
Coaching isnāt about making you the best in the room. Itās about helping you become someone who keeps turning up.
Confidence comes after, not before. And sometimes it starts with being the one who came last and deciding to go again anyway.
With love, Jen x
If your shoulder press feels a bit off⦠itās probably not a strength thing.
Itās usually your setup.
I see this all the time. People keep pushing through it, hoping itāll sort itself out⦠and then wonder why their shoulder is always a bit niggly.
Make a couple of small changes here and it feels completely different.ļæ½
Better position with more control.
Give this a go next time you press and tell me how it feels.
