We all have goals. But I want you to think BIGGER.

Let yourself dream. Give yourself permission to want something that’s bigger than you know you’re capable of right now!

Why?

1. Because its FUN!
2. Because when you start to break that seemingly impossible dream down - it often becomes clear that it’s not impossible at all!
3. Because I love the process of watching people discover they are capable of SO MICH MORE!

When you work with me, I encourage you to have big goals. To dream, to include fun into your sessions and achieve things that are actually meaningful for you! 🫶

It’s easy to get pulled toward all the flashy ‘extras’ in rehab.

But for most people, real progress still comes down to the fundamentals: staying consistent, building strength, sleeping well and being patient.

Exciting? Nope
Powerful? Absolutely!

What’s one basic habit you’re focusing on right now?

Drop a ✅ if you’re sticking to the fundamentals.

Send this to someone who needs the reminder to keep their rehab simple.

Rehab can be a slow and frustrating process but the earlier you start, the faster you will recover.

We used to think that rehab should not involve any pain but things have changed. We now know that pain is not a good indicator of damage or risk of re-injury (or making a current injury worse).

Every person will have a different level of tolerance meaning the amount of pain they can handle will look different for everyone. SO, it’s important to not compare!

BUT when you understand that the pain you feel when doing an exercise is not causing more damage, it can actually change how intense the pain feels and allows you to do more of it.

Remember - every situation is different. This is general advice to point out that rehab does come with a level of pain - and that’s OK!

‘Pain free’ is not necessarily a good indicator as pain is simply part of the process! As always, it is recommended to get specific advice for your injury 👌

Over the weekend I got injured.

I actually don’t know when it happened and I’m not sure what caused it. But how and when doesn’t really matter, what matters is what I do next.

I have to reduce the amount of walking I do initially as that aggravates the injury and make sure I modify my training so that any lower body exercises that hurt past a tolerable level are swapped out for something more suitable right now.

I have also started some gentle, specific and pain controlled rehab exercises that directly target the affected area. Studies have shown that the sooner rehab is started post injury, the quicker the injury recovers (this even extends to surgery!)

Follow along to watch my progress and see how long it takes to get back to full recovery ❤️‍🩹

When you reach 40+, your body doesn’t respond to stress the same way it did before.

When you’re sleep deprived and overtrained, your cortisol levels are always high.

This tells your body to do two things:
1. store fat (usually around your stomach)
2. break down your hard-earned muscle for energy.

You’re not failing but you’re not recovering.

The Solution:

Stop trying to push your body into submission.

You don’t need MORE.

You need a better strategy.

When you stop fighting your body and start fuelling for results, you will start to see them.

Isn’t that the whole point?

I help people over 40 reclaim their body and health by trading the ‘grind’ for a smarter, more enjoyable way to train.

Push-ups are an excellent functional marker of overall fitness, cardiovascular health, and muscular endurance that everyone should aim to achieve. They are considered a foundational movement pattern that tests the integration of the core, shoulders, and chest.

A 2019 study found that men able to perform more than 40 push-ups had a 96% lower risk of cardiovascular disease events over 10 years compared to those who could do fewer than 10.

40 is a big number, so you don’t have to aim for that - but it simply highlights that if you are able to perform a push-up, your risk of disease will be much lower than those who can’t.

It is a highly scalable movement, so no matter where you are in your journey, there is a scaling option that will be suitable for you.

* Beginner: Wall push-ups to build foundational strength.
* Intermediate: Incline push-ups (hands on a bench) to increase difficulty.
* Advanced: Standard floor push-ups, diamond push-ups, or decline push-ups (feet elevated).

For a balanced approach, it is recommended to pair push-ups (a “push” exercise) with a pulling exercise, like rows.

If you haven’t done a push-up in a while, give these options a go and see which one is your starting point 👌

Not enough sleep.
S**t recovery.
Not enough nutrients.
Stress.

The picture is almost never going to be perfect. If you wait for the ‘perfect’ time to start or to do the next workout - it will never happen.

Pick yourself up and get it done, even if you feel like s**t. It will get easier the more you do and you will feel better for it.

Action drives motivation!

December and January have been tough for me.

I’d love to pretend that I am an unwavering benchmark for health and wellness, but sometimes life gets hard, for all of us.

I have been ‘burning the candle at both ends’ as they say, and this week I have felt burnt out, tired and overwhelmed.

As parents with jobs and responsibilities taking up the majority of our time and headspace, life can feel like it gets on top of us sometimes.

In these times, it’s important to recognise what you need: for me, usually it’s some rest, time to fill my cup spending some quality time with the ones I love, doing things we love, and then a steady rebuild.

My training is definitely something that helps re-fill my cup, clear my head and give me clarity so that I can continue to give more to those around me.

Remember that workouts or missed workouts behind us don’t matter, it’s the next one that counts the most.

If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed and stressed: go and do something, start small and get some runs on the board today - no matter how messy they are.

Tomorrow, add a few more. I guarantee you that things will start to steady themselves.
