Iv heard many times… I’ll wait until im fitter Iv heard many times… I’ll wait until im fitter before going to the gym. Or I’ll wait until iv lost some weight. 

You don’t need to be slimmer or fitter before you get started, you just need to do it

Allow yourself to be a beginner, allow yourself to be rubbish at it and start messy

As someone with a bigger belly, the tummy control As someone with a bigger belly, the tummy control on these leggings is 👌. Compression but still lots of stretch and super comfortable.

I have done an updated review on @fankaofficial leggings, and they are currently running an amazing Black Friday offer and you can get an extra discount with my code 10Emma. Comment below if you want to see the full review first and I'll send it over.

Health and fitness advice is boring!! Stop chasing Health and fitness advice is boring!! Stop chasing trends and do the basics that work. Get your steps in, drink your water, get enough sleep, train at least 3 times a week and most of all NUTRITION!! Eat less shit and if you want to lose weight be in a small calorie deficit. Over time this is where you will win 🙌

Go and do something hard. Every time you take on s Go and do something hard. Every time you take on something difficult, you rewrite what is possible for your. You push your limits. You might not win, but you’ll always grow. That’s the part people miss… the challenge is the point, not the outcome.

Skipping isn’t just cardio, it’s longevity tra Skipping isn’t just cardio, it’s longevity training and an important skill we often lose as we age.

When was the last time you jumped?? Jumping helps keep your muscles springy, your calves and Achilles strong, and your reflexes sharp, all key for balance and resilience in midlife.

It also boosts lymphatic flow, supports digestion, and builds explosive strength to help reduce your risk of falling.

Never underestimate the power of a simple skip or any jumping work. Don’t skip it if you want to age well. 

@everjumpfit to help support your juno training.

Iv heard a lot lately of people taking melatonin t Iv heard a lot lately of people taking melatonin to help with sleep. But the studies tell us it should not be taken lightly. Supplementing with melatonin can cause a down regulation of your natural production

So instead of slapping another supplement on it. We need to look at addressing the reasons behind poor sleep. And I know sometimes, espiecially in midlife that can be more complex reasons such as hormones or overheating at night. 

I always suggest a sleep routine and supplementing with magnesium as a first port of call. There are a kit of habits that can support improved sleep but they can take a little discipline to practice, especially when it comes to limiting devices at night

Show up for yourself — because no one else can d Show up for yourself — because no one else can do it for you. 

You don’t need Monday, the perfect plan, or a new year to start.

You’ve got 60 days left in this year — that’s 60 chances to build momentum, to feel stronger, to prove to yourself that you can do hard things.

Don’t wake up one day wishing you’d started sooner.

Start now, and your future self will thank you. 💥

Full body session 💥 This one’s all about sta Full body session 💥

This one’s all about stability, control and quality movement.

We’re mixing things up with slightly higher reps and a lighter load — a great way to build endurance, joint control and improve your mind–muscle connection. 💪

👉 Eccentric chin-ups for building pull-up strength
👉 Bosu squats for balance and ankle stability (perfect ski-season prep!)
👉 Hip thrusts for glute power and lower body endurance
👉 Marching side planks for core control and adductor strength (strong knees)

Remember — not every session needs to be heavy. Alternating rep ranges helps reduce plateaus, build strength through different phases and keep your body adapting.

Stronger. More stable. Ready for the slopes. 

Locals book your sessions for this block, or if you want to join DM me. Non locals save this workout for your next session. Let’s go 🙌

Workouts are way more than just building muscle or Workouts are way more than just building muscle or maintaining fitness. Fitness is for the mind just as much as the muscle. It becomes your you time, a moment when everything slows and you get to tune in with your own body. 

Use fitness as your moments of self care. When you look at it as self care you somehow want to do it more often.  #fitnesstips #fitnessmindset #fitnessover40
