Over the years we’ve had it ingrained into us that we do 3 sets of 12 reps when training but actually that’s not always the best way, depending on what results you’re chasing

Yesterday, one of my clients couldn’t make 12 reps-and it’s because she’s been doing so well we’ve increased her weight which means she fatigued before 12.

We’re going to continue at this weight and before she knows if the 12 reps will be easy again-and that’s when we just make it heavier for her.

Results aren’t made over night-it’s with consistency and progression 💪

Those days you have no time is when you’ll most likely dive head first into convenience food and drink.

Today I had one of those

Training-to meeting-back to training-mum mode. It’s nearly 8pm and I’ve just got back from my son’s football match and starting work.

The thing is I knew how busy my diary was today, so I planned for it. I had my breakfast prepared and enough to keep me full. Then into snack/dinner which I ate on the go in the car. Was a delicious crustless quiche then home again.

Tea was quite a big one as I was hungry at this point and had a cottage pie with added veg. Perfect. Tomorrow we go again!

I specialise in helping busy ladies lead fit and healthy lives-because I am one!

Monday-Thursday this week has been manic but in all the right ways. Loved seeing the results daily from my clients and I’ve made a real effort to show up for myself, even when I didn’t really want to (see my reel on Thursday)

Then Friday was an “away day” getting my focus on to grow my businesses. I have so many ideas to bring more to people across the region so this was a chance to get that in motion. On another note, if you’re looking for a great venue to work away from home then Eslington Manor is great. They have a package that includes unlimited tea, coffee, breakfast and WiFi too plus great location ☺️

Then this weekend was Great North Run weekend. It’s been a few years since I last ran it but living in South Shields you can’t help but get caught up in the atmosphere. Yesterday we took my son to the Mini run and today was the main event. Great Run

Next week is pretty much fully booked with PT, reflexology and a presentation on Tuesday about fertility treatment training for workplaces (my other business Claire Graham ). I’ll share more with you next Sunday.

Have a great week all and I’ll hopefully see you soon 💪

Good luck to all the amazing runners today at the Great North Run.

I love living so close to the finish on days like this-the atmosphere is something else.

If you’re running today then enjoy every bit 😊

Great Run

This has been the first “real week” back after the holidays and the energy and vibes from all my ladies has been outstanding-even when they are cursing me 😂

The results are coming-some weight related and others not so obvious. Everyone has different goals and different challenges but everyone has shown up this week and that’s how they are seeing the benefits.

It’s not too late to join me for September-I still have space for two more people to join me

If you want to know more just send me a message and let’s have a chat

You might love training but some days you can’t be bothered. That was me this morning.

I was tired, I had a pile of work to do but the reality is if I missed it then it was because I was choosing not to go.

I had scheduled it in my diary this morning because I will struggle to fit it in over the coming days so let’s not kid myself I was going to do it later.

One reason people use a PT is that I turn up even when you can’t be bothered, so it’s important I turn up for myself too.

Ps if you watch till the end I did go and so glad I did! 💪

For those that struggle with meal planning and ideas the guilt free kitchen may just have the solution for you!

I have been fortunate enough to get a sneaky preview at what they have been working on and think you’ll love it. I’ll share more with you next week

Something's cooking. 👀🍳

For months we've been building something that's going to change the way you plan, shop and eat — without the guilt, without the guesswork, and without spending your evening staring at a blank meal plan wondering "what do I even cook."

Guilt Free Kitchen is about to get a whole lot bigger.

Monday 14th September. Mark it. 📅
