These things have helped me with my running, and may help you too....

1. Lift weights πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ

Once or twice a week I do a weights session in the garage. I do around 3x8 reps of each movement with weight that is heavy enough that I can barely lift it by the last rep. To start with I was very sore, but now I am used to it and reaping the benefits.

2. Strides πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Once a week at the end of an easy run I do roughly 4 x 80m "sprints". This helps to dial in my running biomechanics, especially on tired legs.

3. Run less πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ

If I am having a patch of horrific sleep, illness or mentally have too much going on, I reduce or skip the run. Historically I would have just powered through but I have learnt to trust my body on what it needs. Whilst training on empty might have mental health benefits, it has absolutely no physical training benefits.

And if you want help with your running, this is my jam πŸ‘Œ

We come to the end of another summer break.....and it was a goodie πŸ„β€β™€οΈβ›°οΈπŸ¦β›±οΈ

The start of the new year always brings a bit of reflection. 2025 was supposed to be the year of keeping it simple.....but it soon turned into the year of over committing (had my fingers in too many va**nas so to speak 🀣).

So this year I am back to only committing to a few projects that I love - please hold me accountable to this πŸ€ͺ

However, there are a few exciting things already in the pipeline including a bit of a brand refresh and new website.....watch this space πŸ‘€

For now....booking for both clinic and the postpartum class are open online. And I look forward to sharing more with you soon 😊

Wow it has been another massive year for Project Mum 🀯 and 2025 has brought some really cool projects for me.

**This is very much a highlights reel, and absolutely does not show the hard work (stress and tears) that has gone into these things. BUT I also think it's super important to celebrate the wins! So here are some of my top moments....

πŸ‘­Hundreds of incredible women have been through my clinic door, classes and workshops, amazing to be part of your stories.

πŸŽ„The Project Mum Christmas Party '25 πŸŽ„

Being a mum is the hardest job in the world and yet nobody throws you a party or gives you a Christmas bonus.......so this was a celebration for us πŸŽ‰

A huge thank you to this massive group who came this morning. There really is nothing better than good company, mimosas and a side of pelvic floor πŸ₯‚ 🀣

Thanks to for the 🧁 and .nz for the πŸŽ₯ and my good friends who always help me with events like these 🀍

Merry Christmas 🀢

Rich food, less movement, staying in different accommodation....just some of the reasons we can get a little bunged up over the festive period.

Remember that the best thing you can do to look after your pelvic floor is to NOT be constipated or strain on the toilet.

Some things you can do to help....

πŸ₯¦ Eat foods that you know keep you regular.

πŸ₯€ Keep hydrated, especially if you are having more alcohol.

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Try to engage in your normal movement regime.

🚽 Don't hold your poo in when you are in unfamiliar toilets....go when you need to go!

Term 1 booking is now open πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

If you want to learn more about your postpartum body, get some exercise in with a little mini alongside you and meet some other like minded mum....this is for you!!

The sessions vary from floor based Pilates, to beach frontpack and usually finish with a mount treasure hunt.

Note this block is from 10th Feb - 7th April, over 9 weeks but 8 sessions with no session on 17th March as I will be away

Babies need to be 6 weeks or older on the start date. There is no upper age limit but usually mums are between 2-6 months postpartum when they start.

Link in comments or bio. Any questions πŸ‘‡

Look forward to meeting another gang in Feb!

And that's a wrap for the postpartum classes in 2025 πŸŽ‰

Another 100+ women through groups this year and it has been my absolute pleasure to see you all learn more about your bodies, get stronger, make connections and of course snuggle your babies ☺️

Thanks for joining me and I look forward to meeting another bunch of mums in the new year πŸ™Œ

As we head into silly season, us mums seem to drop even lower down the list 🀣

Now is not the time for big goals, but my top tip for getting through this time is to set yourself a "mini goal" that is just for you.....

Some examples:

πŸ’ͺ Do 2 minutes of glute exercises everyday

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Have 30mins of solo exercise every weekend

πŸ‘ŒNo morning coffee until you have completed your pelvic floor exercises

Having something to tick off that is just for you always brings a bit of joy in a time that can feel overwhelming.

And if you would like to take the thinking out of mini goals....then join the Pelvic Advent Calendar, an extremely achievable, cup filling, mini goal. Link in bio or flick me a message πŸ™Œ
