🎂 THE BODY RECOMP CLUB IS TURNING 1 🎈

And so, in true BSG fashion, we’re celebrating with a challenge

Because what screams one year birthdayversary like a month filled with all the Big-Strong-Girlie-Consistency-Queen energy ✨

30 days
One big sexy challenge
Training, movement, nutrition, prizes and a GC that is about to give drunk girls in a bathroom (although I can’t be held responsible for any competitive streaks in the girlies 😅)

It’s not about being perfect
It’s not about losing the most weight
It’s about showing up, getting strong, ticking off the habits that actually move the needle...
And feeling like your strongest, sexiest self going into autumn

Basically, if you’ve been thinking “I really need to get back into a routine”...

THIS IS YOUR SIGN

Because we all know September is the new New Year

And I fear the FOMO is going to be real when September rolls around and you’re watching everyone else post their challenge wins 👀

📅 Starts 1st September
💸 £19 for the month

Took almost a month off socials for a bit of a reset but we’re back so let’s catch up with what life has been looking like lately because there’s a lot to catch up on… 💫

first year growing at an allotment and it really does blow my mind that I’ve not killed every single thing off 👩🏼‍🌾

lil lady wondering what veg there is for her

the most exciting update…meet Saffy ✨🧡

like come on…

I perfected the wfh set up for sunny days 🌞

one of the og (and I mean OG) BSGs got hitched 💒 I first met this girl in October 2020 and it’s the biggest privilege to see her do life 🥹

my steps have tanked but savouring the solo moments

went for tacos and margs with some of the BSGs 🌮

BEAUTY SALON | BEAUTY TRAINING | GLOUCESTER ✨ is still my hero and saviour 💅

why is sitting in the sun so much worse than doing manual labour in it??

one of the big strong girlies had her own mini big strong girlie 🥹💕 (peep luna also checking on her 😭)

you really don’t know what people are doing in their houses

fruit, yoghurt and granola for me…fruit and yoghurt for the puppers 🍓🫐🍌

brunches have been looking a little different

training + movement might’ve taken a hit but we control the controllable and focus on nutrition 😌

current fave way to spend breaks between coaching clients

all that hard labour redoing my mum’s garden, just to take over and turn it into a temporary home gym set up 😅

the first home workout ✅

the rare bit of quiet time in an otherwise mad house

EXPENSIVE(ISH) THINGS THAT ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY: HEALTH & FITNESS EDITION 💫

Lmk if you think I’ve missed any 👇🏼

🏋🏼‍♀️ A GYM MEMBERSHIP

And one that you’ll actually go to…

If you’re a train-from-home gal, the money you’d be spending on a membership should be going into kitting out a home gym instead

Resistance bands and 2.5kg dumbbells aren’t going to cut it forever 👀

💁🏼‍♀️ A (BLOODY GOOD) COACH

And £10 apps with minimal contact and chatgpt don’t fall into this category…

I spent years figuring it out myself and made SO many mistakes along the way and my only regret is not hiring a coach sooner

Yes, you can absolutely figure it out yourself. But having someone to take the guesswork out, keep you accountable, teach you want actually matter and help you adjust things?

Worth it’s weight in gold

🚶🏼‍♀️‍➡️A WALKING PAD

I’ve always been a ‘get-outside-and-go-for-a-walk’ kinda gal but I swear my walking pad changed the game

Rainy? Walking pad
Multi-tasking work + steps? Walking pad
Break up long stints of sitting like a prawn? Walking pad

🧦 GOOD QUALITY GYMWEAR

I’ve had a LOT of gymwear in my time and spent an eyewatering sum on it

But the expensive stuff is built to last

Pick stuff you feel good in, that makes you want to train and that you aren’t having to adjust every other minute

(Top tip: scope out sales, TKMaxx + remember quality over quantity)

🍈 A SUPPORTIVE SPORTS BRA

I’m v much a fashion tiddy girlie but even *I* know the importance of a good quality sports bra that supports the girls

And yes, I feel for you gals that are blessed with more ample bosoms having to pay more but I promise it’ll be worth it

👟 SHOES

If you can train in socks for a strength session, sensational!

But the second you start adding cardio, conditioning and running into the mix, you’re going to want to invest

Or at the very least pls stop wearing running trainers for exercises that you’re then working harder to stabilise

Take them off and see how much easier it is when you’re not having to correct your balance every 0.5 seconds
