|| PT AVAILABILITY || My Wednesday afternoons have become free for Pre & Postnatal PT sessions at the gorgeous @life.bymargot in Crouch End. If you or someone you know might be interested in either short or long term sessions just shoot me a message 😊 Babies welcome! - - #postnatalfitness #crouchend #personaltraining

|| DEEP CORE STRENGTH & STABILITY || I was chatting to a client a couple of weeks ago about how much her core was aching after our sessions - we had done no specific core exercises. We spoke about how since having a baby we have both realised how much your core has to work to complete everyday exercises - squats, deadlifts, press ups etc. I as an instructor and her as a client have said/heard so many times in a class ‘use your core’ ‘switch your core on’ but had always taken it for granted. Postpartum rehab is no joke. I am now 10 months postpartum and my core is far from where it was before. These exercises are staples in my routine to help fire up my core and to make sure it is working properly for my workout. These exercises may look easy but don’t underestimate them! That deep core connection and stability is far more challenging than 50 sit ups! Everyone should be putting theses exercises in their routine, not just if you’re postpartum, so next time you’re warming up try and slot a few in and see how it feels! - - #postpartum #postpartumworkout #corestrength #corestability #coretraining #workout #warmup #activation #personaltrainer

|| RETURN TO EXERCISE POSTPARTUM || It can be scary returning to exercise after having a baby. Your body feels different, you’re not sure what you should and shouldn’t be doing and you’ve got no motivation to actually get started. I definitely felt all those things which is why I decided to create the Return to Exercise PT session. A one off 1-1 in person session to work through core connection, Diastasis issues, glute activation and any extra worries you have when it comes to starting again. This session can be done any time after your 6 week doctors check up as long as you have had a Mummy MOT. For more information and to get yourself booked in please message me or email ljpfitness@outlook@com. - - #postpartumfitness #postpartumcore #diastasisrecti #corerecovery #returntoexercise

|| FEELING STRONG IN PREGNANCY ||
Until I became pregnant myself even though I was trained in pre/postnatal fitness I really didn’t understand HOW IMPORTANT it is to keep moving and keep your body strong.
If you are pregnant or postpartum and struggling with getting back to fitness or nervous about moving I’ve got a workshop this Sunday that would be great for you.
Sunday 13th March at in Crouch End 12-1pm. We will be spending the first 20mins talking through everything you need to know about exercising in pregnancy and after abs then will get a 40min workout in with modifications for everyone.
If you’re interested please send me a DM to get yourself booked in!

|| ACCOUNTABILITY ||
It’s not always easy to find the motivation to workout especially towards the end of the week. So find someone that can keep you accountable. Set your workout clothes out the night before, sign up to a class with a friend or book a session with a PT!
I am all about motivation so if you need that extra boost then send me a DM about setting up a session to get you going!
