Yesterday morning I woke up and it was Sunday Runday 🏃🏼♀️ – a day I have been looking forward to every week - but I didn’t think I could do it! ✧
However, after spending a little time really tuning into how I was feeling, I decided to give it a go anyway, because, I felt I could if I really put my mind to it.
✧
And, I gave myself the chance if I started and then my body told me it really wasn’t up for the run, to be ok with pulling it back just to a walk – at least I was still nurturing my body with some movement, fresh air and a little ‘me time’.
✧
But, guess what? I did it!….. and, you know, so can you!
✧
So, next time you feel like you can’t do something – can’t find time for a walk, to fit in that workout, prepare yourself a nourishing meal, get to bed earlier - really dig deep and make sure the reason you can’t isn’t just because you’re telling yourself that.... Because, I bet you actually could!
During pregnancy and in the early post-natal period, it is very common for expectant and new mums to feel stiff into the middle and upper back
✧
This all comes from the increased weight of our breasts and changes in posture during our pregnancy, often exaggerated by hunched over work postures 🤰
✧
And then, in the early days of motherhood, new mums spend a lot of time leaning forward, and holding, carrying, changing and feeding their new little addition 🤱
✧
In our sessions we always integrate some gentle thoracic mobility exercises to help relieve this stiffness, combined with stretching of the chest muscles
✧
To complement this, later in the session, we work on mid-back strength to assist with better posture and alignment, and, of course, relieve that stiffness and soreness that is often experienced in the middle and upper back

Without good health how do you live YOUR life to it's fullest? You don't! It's quite simple, without good health, it is almost impossible to thrive in all other areas of your life!
✧
So, why do so many woman, especially mums, invest so much money on their children, on cosmetics and skin care, on fad diets, on clothes, on their homes, but rarely invest in their health and fitness?
✧
I am so passionate about encouraging and empowering other women, other mums, in transforming from the inside out, physically and mentally, as it has been this transformation for me that has finally put me on the right path to living the life I've always dreamed with my beautiful family!
✧
And every mum, including YOU, deserves to thrive and live the life YOU want, both as the woman YOU are, and the mother YOU have become. And, the best first step to ensure that this happens is to invest in YOUR health, fitness & wellbeing!
✧
I encourage you to make 2019 the year that YOU step into your power, and start on your journey to being the healthiest, happiest version of YOU by ensuring you invest in YOU every day!
