The first week back in routine can feel chaotic. S The first week back in routine can feel chaotic. Schedules, to-do lists, lunches, work… it’s a lot. But here’s the thing — waiting for the perfect time to get back into your workouts? That’s a trap. You don’t need to crush a full gym session or tick every box in your plan.You just need to do something. A 15-minute walk. A quick bodyweight circuit. A short strength session. Stretching while watching tv or scrolling. .Movement clears your mind, boosts energy, and reminds you that you’ve got this. This week, aim for consistency over intensity. Because something really is better than nothing. Let’s break the cycle of putting it off. Start now — however small #backtoroutine #mumlife #womensfitness #moveeveryday #somethingisbetterthannothing

As with all my gals. Not just clients but friends. LOVE that I got to catch up while she was in town on her summer holls

Always the reminder that fitness and fitness classes are never ‘just’ about the workouts, but also about people, connection and moments of together with like minded wonderful humans. And that stuff matters ❤️

So glad we got to catch up. Until next time 😘
If you’re a woman 40+ don’t shy away from impa If you’re a woman 40+ don’t shy away from impact training. Power and plyometric training isn’t just for athletes — it’s one of the keys to aging strong and ageing well. Here’s why:

Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibres – As we age, these fibres decline faster than slow-twitch ones. Without training them, we lose speed, reaction time, and the ability to move quickly when it matters (like catching yourself if you trip).

Muscle Elasticity – Plyometrics keep muscles and tendons springy, which supports better movement efficiency and helps reduce injury risk.

Bone Density – Jumping, bounding, and other impact work sends powerful signals to your bones to stay strong — crucial for preventing osteoporosis.

Metabolic Health – Power training can improve insulin sensitivity and keep your metabolism more responsive.

Tthink squat jumps, med ball slams, or power push presses, or rebounds like I’m doing in the video. Start small and build over time, once or twice a week can make a difference.

Start feeling stronger, faster, and more resilient. Join my FREE 5 Day Kickstart Challenge and I’ll show you exactly how to incorporate this type of training into your week.
