Empowered. Strength & Wellness Coaching

To my fellow mummas. All I can say is, I've been there. Sometimes it feels impossible to priorities anything for yourself, let alone exercise. But honestly, a happy and healthy mum is a benefit to the entire family.

Dont put pressure on yourself to train like an athlete. But if you can slowly increase your daily movement, your energy levels will rise, your confidence will improve, stress levels reduce (hard to believe sometimes 😅🥴), mood enhances, you're equipping your body to handle physical demands and we can't forget - SETTING A POSITIVE EXAMPLE!

It's going to feel hard on nights with no sleep, days where nothing you do will settle the baby... but I promise the benefits do come! As long as you don't permanently give up ❤️❤️❤️

This client already had great ankle mobility and depth for her squats, which is usually a common issue seen.

She did however struggle with engaging her core & the 'butt wink' at the bottom of the squat.

We fixed this with 3 things.
1. Core engagement drills
2. Slightly widening her stance
3. Cueing her to sit between her heels/knees & break at the hips and knees together rather than trying to excessively push her hips back first.

& boy did she notice the difference! She went from feeling weak and not very confident in her standard squat, to squatting under a barbell straight away! 🙌💪

Not everyone will benefit from the exact same cues and changes. It depends where your starting point is & what cues 'click' for you. Even simply wording the same cue differently for people can make a massive impact to how they understand and put them into play 🤌

Just dying at the end of a double session after Muay Thai 🥴

Some days its just about simply showing up. Other days its about pushing way past the point of comfort.

Today was one of those days 🥵
