⁣
I want to make something clear.⁣
⁣
The last four weeks haven’t been about suddenly deciding to work hard again.⁣
⁣
Anyone who knows me knows I haven’t exactly stopped. 😂⁣
⁣
I’ve worked relentlessly, coached my clients, trained, run my business and continued showing up for the people who depend on me.⁣
⁣
But there’s a difference between being busy and actually making some space for yourself.⁣
⁣
And that’s probably what these last four weeks have given me.⁣
⁣
I’ve started creating again.⁣
⁣
Sharing more of what I genuinely believe about health and fitness.⁣
⁣
Talking about the incredible people I get to coach.⁣
⁣
Training with more purpose.⁣
⁣
And reminding myself why I fell in love with doing this in the first place.⁣
⁣
I’ve also stopped worrying quite so much about whether everything needs to be perfect.⁣
⁣
Sometimes you just need to put yourself out there, say what you believe and get on with it.⁣
⁣
Because looking after myself makes me better at everything else.⁣
⁣
It gives me more energy to coach.⁣
⁣
More enthusiasm to grow Nxtep.⁣
⁣
More capacity to support the people around me.⁣
⁣
And, most importantly, more of myself to give to my family.⁣
⁣
That’s really what The Rebuild has meant to me.⁣
⁣
It was never about starting again from nothing.⁣
⁣

⁣
And that’s exactly what I want Nxtep to help other people do too.⁣
⁣
We’re not here to build lives around fitness.⁣
⁣
We’re here to use fitness to become stronger, healthier and better equipped for the lives we’re already trying to lead.⁣
⁣
Four weeks in and I’m genuinely excited about where we’re taking this.⁣
⁣
Not starting again.⁣
⁣
𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱.⁣
⁣
And we’re only getting started. ❤️⁣

⁣
I’ve had a free afternoon today, so once I had spent time with my amazing children, I boxed off my own training. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes social media makes looking after yourself seem far more complicated than it actually needs to be.⁣
⁣
You don’t need to train every day.⁣
⁣
You don’t need your meals weighed out into matching containers.⁣
⁣
You don’t need to say no to everything you enjoy.⁣
⁣
And you certainly don’t need your entire life to revolve around the gym.⁣
⁣
You need to find a way of looking after yourself that actually fits amongst everything else that matters to you.⁣
⁣
Some weeks you’ll have loads of time.⁣
⁣
Other weeks you’ll barely have any.⁣
⁣
That’s life.⁣
⁣
The goal is to build something flexible enough that you don’t completely stop every time your circumstances change.⁣
⁣
Make fitness part of your life.⁣
⁣
Don’t make fitness your life.⁣

⁣
Katie and Harriet have both been part of Nxtep for years now and I couldn’t be prouder of the consistency they continue to show.⁣
⁣
Katie has just passed an incredible 𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 with us! 👏⁣
⁣
I’ve always respected how seriously she takes looking after herself. If an ache, pain or ni**le appears, she’ll seek the right advice and we get to work on keeping her moving well.⁣
⁣
She also has a pretty cool career in the gaming industry and recently helped with the new LEGO Batman game. My nephew got it for his birthday, so Uncle Chris definitely earned a few cool points when I told him I train someone who helped make it. 😂🎮⁣
⁣
Then we have Harriet…⁣
⁣
𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗽! 🤯⁣
⁣
As a fellow business owner, I have huge respect for how hard Harriet works while still consistently making time for her health. Many people locally will know her for the incredible homemade cakes at the Tea Room.⁣
⁣
We’ve had some great Nxtep & Tea Room collabs. Just putting it out there that the peanut butter and collagen chocolate cupcakes NEED to make a comeback. 😂⁣
⁣
What I love about these two is that they haven’t built their lives around fitness.⁣
⁣

⁣
500+ workouts. 800+ workouts.⁣
⁣
That’s years of showing up alongside careers, businesses, family and everything else life brings.⁣
⁣
That’s what Nxtep is about.⁣
⁣
Building the strength, energy and resilience to support the life you’re trying to lead.⁣
⁣
Absolutely smashing it ladies. Very proud of you both. ❤️⁣

⁣
Yesterday was busy, fun and full of things going on.⁣
⁣
Today is pretty much the opposite. 😂⁣
⁣
I’m getting my training done, catching up on some admin, sorting a few things around the house, getting the washing done and picking up a couple of bits from the shops.⁣
⁣
Then I’ll spend the last bits of the evening catching up on F1 and completely switching off.⁣
⁣
And I’m absolutely fine with that.⁣
⁣
We talk so much about doing more.⁣
⁣
More training.⁣
⁣
More steps.⁣
⁣
More work.⁣
⁣
More productivity.⁣
⁣
But being healthy isn’t about trying to optimise every hour of your life.⁣
⁣
Sometimes it’s about getting the things done that need doing, moving your body, getting yourself organised for the week ahead…⁣
⁣
And then giving yourself permission to do absolutely nothing productive whatsoever.⁣
⁣
Rest matters.⁣
⁣
Enjoyment matters.⁣
⁣
Switching off matters.⁣
⁣
Because the goal isn’t to build a life that looks productive from the outside.⁣

Sunday reset. ❤️⁣
⁣
Tomorrow we go again.⁣

⁣
I got my training done this morning and then the rest of today had absolutely nothing to do with the gym.⁣
⁣
And it’s been brilliant.⁣
⁣
Painting some figures.⁣
⁣
A trip to the shops to choose what we were having for tea.⁣
⁣
Cooking together.⁣
⁣
Games.⁣
⁣
Football stickers.⁣
⁣
And plenty of messing around in between. 😂⁣
⁣
Nothing particularly extraordinary.⁣
⁣
But probably exactly the kind of day that reminds me why looking after ourselves matters in the first place.⁣
⁣
Fitness is obviously a huge part of my life and always will be.⁣
⁣
But the gym isn’t the destination.⁣
⁣
It’s about having the health, energy and physical capability to get more from everything that happens outside of it.⁣
⁣
Your work.⁣
⁣
Your family.⁣
⁣
Your friends.⁣
⁣
Your hobbies.⁣
⁣
And ordinary Saturdays like this one.⁣
⁣
Train hard.⁣
⁣
Look after yourself.⁣
⁣
Then go and enjoy what you’re doing it all for.⁣
