My advice to my younger self or my little lady would be….

…to start weight training earlier in life.

….. and that being me was brilliantly enough - I didn’t need to compare myself to anyone else.

Also, drinking more water is ALWAYS important.

I also think I didn’t realise how key getting enough sleep was in maintaining mood and weight and resilience. I’d have gone to bed earlier and at a more consistent time if I’d realised how important it was for circadian rhythm.

“The greatest love of all”.

A song about learning to love yourself.. one my favourites.. got me to thinking..

If I could give my younger self one piece of advice… what would it be?

Maybe something like:

Stop worrying so much about what everyone else thinks.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You don’t need to be perfect.

You don’t need to compare your journey to anyone else’s.

Trust yourself.

Take up space.

Say yes to the things that light you up.

Say no to the things that drain you.

or Maybe?

Look after your body: it’s going to carry you through so much. ❤️

or

Don’t wait until you’re older to realise just how amazing you already are.

You are enough, exactly as you are.

Keep growing, keep learning, keep laughing and keep being YOU. 💚

What advice would you give your younger self, or maybe your daughter?

Especially around wellness… I would love to know…..

What a wonderful message to receive regarding our lift lean programme.

“Hi Jo. I just wanted to share my very positive experience of two weeks Lift Lean. I've lost 4lb in weight and an inch and a half off my waist.....I know I've lost from the top of my thighs too..I just didn't measure there! My diet is much better, I'm drinking more water and I can hold a plank position for a while, when I couldn't even do it before. I am so pleased….If anyone is "flip flopping" deciding about this course , I recommend they do it..the results are amazing..just like we are! Thank you so much Carol 😁 xx”

Hi, how does it feel when you walk into a class on your own?

Have you ever done it?

Have you ever had the courage to walk into a gym or a fitness class for the first time, maybe with a friend or even more scary on your own?!

It can be very daunting if you have done it. I recall it all too well 🫶

You think everyone will know each other, or everyone will be fitter than me, or everyone will be super skinny, or they will all look at me if I don't know what I am doing, am I right?

Well even if they do all know each other they probably only met through that class and if you say hi they will usually say hi back! Lots of my members have made lifelong friends in class and meet up outside class, go to the theatre and some even go on holiday together!

Yes some of them may be fitter than you but guess what they had to start sometime and if you start coming to classes you will get fitter too!

Chances are there will be people of all different shapes and sizes, in my classes they certainly are.

And lastly believe me no one is taking a blind bit of notice of what you are doing. As an instructor I can tell you they generally do not take their eyes off the person up at the front!

So if you have been thinking about coming to class then just do it, you might just enjoy it and what is the worst that can happen?

That applies to trying anything different. Don't be scared of a new class or trying or changing something, again you might just like it!

🏃‍♀️ Always busy, always on the go?
😮‍💨 Longing for some proper downtime, but never quite managing to make space for it?

Then Strong & Calm could be exactly what you need. ✨

This is your invitation to press pause on the busy-ness of life and make some much-needed time for YOU.

As women, understanding and connecting with our bodies can help us recognise what we need to truly thrive. So, for one afternoon, we’ll slow down, tune in, move, breathe, nourish and reconnect.

Think serious Strong work meets beautiful self-care. 💪🏼🧘‍♀️

A space to:

✨ Connect with your health dreams and goals
✨ Enjoy peace and stillness through mindful meditation
✨ Move your body in a way that feels GOOD
✨ Reconnect with your body and listen to its wisdom
✨ Enjoy a delicious, healthy homemade lunch
✨ Feel inspired and uplifted by a room full of like-minded women
✨ Be seen, be heard and be appreciated
✨ Leave feeling stronger, calmer and more connected to YOU 💚

Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop, breathe and give yourself permission to take up some space.

🌿 Strong body. Calm mind. Happy heart.

What is self care to you?

Have you ever considered dance to be self-care?

Did you know that dance can really help your mental health and wellbeing, as well as your your physical well-being?

Let’s get physical……

Dance is a great way to stay active and improve physical health. It can help with cardiovascular health, flexibility, strength, and coordination.

What about anxiety and stress?

Participating in dance has been found to decrease levels of stress and anxiety. The focus and concentration required during dance can also help to quiet the mind and promote relaxation, reducing cortisol levels.

But what about confi..dance?

Learning new dance moves and performing them can help to build confidence and self-esteem.

And community?

Dance is a great way to connect with others and build social connections. Participating in a group dance class can help to develop teamwork and social skills.

If you want to focus on you in a fun way that combines fun, fitness, friendship and dance… let’s connect

Some weeks are a little tougher than others… That is when it is so very important to focus on the small things that put a smile on your face…. like….

A message from a lovely wedding couple…

“We just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for everything you did for us. Our dance turned out AMAZING and we genuinely cannot thank you enough for all your effort and your patience! We loved every second of it and we are getting so many messages about the dance even now!”

And some lovely ones from the lift lean team too…

“Great classes this week! Yet again loving the variety and challenges 😊 x”

And pt clients getting super excited by their progress…..

Life is good, it really really is, even on days when you have to dig a little deeper ❤️❤️

Happy Friday one and all, have a great day
