This week I was delighted to chat to Jaime Toff from the Compound Club in Lingfield talking about the many benefits of boxing, strength and resistance training.

Also to Emily Nuttall about why she became an ambassador for Grassroots Su***de prevention and her determination to complete the Brighton half marathon and the London marathon.

Emily completed the Brighton Half Marathon on 1st March 2026 and is going to do the TSC London Marathon on 26th April 2026. Grassroots is deeply personal to her, and she is a lived experience advocate. She has worked alongside the charity for two years using her experiences to help shape life changing projects
Grassroots provided support to Emily when she needed it most. Now she wants to give back and break the stigma around su***de and show others that recovery is possible - offering a message of hope through her challenge events.

If you haven’t listened to Gaby Hewitt from BodyAmbition talk about the powerful benefits of strength and resistance training, it’s definitely worth another listen! 💪✨
Gaby shares how lifting weights and resistance training aren’t just about building muscle — they’re about building a stronger, healthier, more resilient YOU.
Here are some of the key benefits she highlights:
🔥 Boosts metabolism – Strength training increases lean muscle mass, which helps your body burn more calories even at rest.
🦴 Improves bone density – Essential for preventing osteoporosis and keeping bones strong as we age.
❤️ Supports heart health – Resistance training can lower blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health.
🧠 Enhances mental wellbeing – Reduces stress, boosts mood, and builds confidence.
⚖️ Improves balance and coordination – Helping to prevent falls and injuries.
💥 Increases functional strength – Making everyday tasks easier and improving overall quality of life

Take inspiration from olympian Duncan Scott and Irene Riach, performance nutritionist for Team GB, as they share simple behaviour changes that can help keep your health goals on track.
Start the day with a nourishing breakfast, be kind to yourself when things don’t go perfectly, and create the opportunity to help make those changes such as keeping a fruit bowl visible on the kitchen counter! Small, consistent habits really do make a big difference.
What’s one small change you’re focusing on this month? ✨
