This week’s meal prep is done.

I made a few dishes, including red lentil dhal with bulgur wheat, and pasta with a homemade tomato sauce and chicken breast. I had plenty of sauce left, so I used it in a few other meals too, adding some green beans, a bit of chicken, and a little sausage from earlier in the week. Simple, tasty, and ready to go.

Meal prepping really does save so much time when you’ve got a busy week ahead. Just take a meal out of the fridge or freezer and you’re all set.

Practising what I preach — keeping things simple, balanced, and easy to stay on track.

Ginger Shots

Ingredients:
• 4 medium oranges
• 1 large lemon
• 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger
• 1 tsp turmeric (generous)
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• ¼–½ cup water

Method:
1. Peel the oranges and lemon. Chop the ginger.
2. Blend all ingredients with the water until smooth.
3. Strain through a fine sieve.
4. Stir in turmeric and cayenne, then taste.

You should feel a warming heat from the ginger and cayenne without it being overpowering.

Give this recipe a try and save yourself a small fortune! Homemade ginger shots cost around 30–50p each, compared to £2.10 or more in store.

What an amazing weekend competing at Raising the Bar again! I’m proud to have made it back onto the podium, finishing 3rd—something I didn’t expect to happen again. The event definitely highlighted a few gaps in my training, which I’ll be working hard to improve. That said, I’m still not sure I’ll ever feel fully comfortable with handstand push-ups! 😉

It was also great to catch up with my competition friends—you ladies inspire me! 💪

Massive credit to the organisers—such a friendly, well-run competition with a great atmosphere. I’d highly recommend it to anyone thinking about giving it a go!

STOP Spending Hours on Cardio!
Here’s a Smarter Approach for Better Results.

Endless treadmill sessions won’t deliver the results you’re after. Excessive cardio can actually diminish muscle mass and slow down your metabolism, making it harder to achieve a strong, toned physique.

A more effective strategy?
Incorporate strength training alongside shorter, purposeful cardio sessions. Resistance training preserves muscle, enhances metabolic function, and promotes sustainable fat loss—allowing you to build strength and improve body composition without unnecessary exhaustion.

Trade in long cardio sessions for a balanced, strategic approach. Your body will thank you.

"Lifting weights will make me bulky" — One of the Biggest Fitness Myths!

Let’s set the record straight — strength training won’t make you bulky, but it will enhance your strength, define your physique, and boost your confidence.

Women lack the testosterone levels required for excessive muscle growth, meaning lifting weights leads to a leaner, more sculpted body rather than bulk. Additionally, resistance training increases muscle tone and improves overall body composition, helping you maintain a strong and healthy physique.

It’s time to move past the misconceptions—embrace strength training and experience the transformation for yourself.

Move Better, Feel Stronger, Live Fully!

Struggling with daily movement? If getting out of the car feels tough, keeping up with your kids is a challenge, or weekend hikes leave you drained—it’s time for a change.

You don’t have to settle for stiffness, weakness, or fatigue. The right training helps you build strength, move better, and feel more capable every day.

Because training isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about lifting your life. 👊

Stay Strong, Stay Young!

Movement is key to aging well! After 50, strength training keeps muscles and bones strong, while interval workouts boost heart health and endurance. Lifting weights helps prevent injuries and keeps you independent, while short bursts of intense exercise improve circulation and energy levels. It’s never too late to start—your body will thank you. Stay active, stay vibrant, and keep moving for a healthier, longer life! Feel free to DM me!

Our Story

Cycling and fitness is something I enjoy in life. For as long as can remember my favourite activity was/is riding my bike from being a toddler to adulthood. So it was natural for me to work in the industry selling bicycles for over 20 years. What I enjoy the most is uncovering the right bike for job. I had a knack for choosing the right bike and with that offering some fitness advice when requested.

What I enjoy the most is guiding returning cyclist back into riding. Helping them recover their bike handling skills allowing them to ride confidently with their mates again. To have confidence to ride knowing they can do this sponsored event or cycling holiday. Life can send you on different journey to what you expected, starting a family, career growth or bad health and fitness. My goal is to help you feel good, healthy and happy and confident on a bike.

This proverb fits my philosophy: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

So let get started! Let me help you get into shape, feel strong and reach your goals. I am passionate about empowering others and making a difference in the lives and grateful to be in a position to create positive out comes in all walks of life.
