New Mums: Are you making these 3 workout mistakes?
I was having a conversation with a friend recently. She’s recently had a baby and is keen to “get her old body back”. Hands up if you’ve been there. I certainly have.

Have you ever noticed that in our lives, we often end up sabotaging our own progress? Have you ever done something, and then thought “why on earth did I just do that”?
I’m sure you all know how hard it is to eat well when you’re tired. Been out last night? Baby kept you up? Chances are you spend today rummaging the cupboards and looking for all of the carbs! But do you understand why? It’s all to do with your hormones. Lack of sleep causes disruption to your hunger hormones ghrelin and leptin. These 2 hormones play an important role in controlling appetite and satiety.
The news and my social media these last couple of weeks have been full of these sorts of messages: 48% of respondents to a UK
What is the best exercise for fat loss? We’ve had this question a few times in our sessions recently. [TL:DR] Exercise to build muscle and strength
Strange times we’re living through right now. But if you’re stuck at home, give one of these workouts a go for an instant boost.

I’m supposed to have lots of content telling people to join my group or my courses. And my social media feeds are of course full of people telling me to buy their products, join their courses, or their groups…
There’s nothing wrong with this of course. Sellers gotta sell. But there’s a lot of messaging that really winds my up. I spend my time scrolling past adverts / posts going “ugh” and “ffs”….
Do you ever feel that being healthy is too hard? It shouldn’t be.
But we are constantly bombarded with the idea that we are not good enough. Social media is full of perfect lives and perfect selfies that make feel we need to be thinner but curvier, busy yet mindful, richer while working less, bla bla… From the tabloids to TV to Instagram and Twitter, we are constantly assured that our best self is just out of reach.
I don’t think that it needs to be this way!
So here’s seven super simple things that you can do to be healthier. They are totally doable and that don’t require much time or effort. Pick one or two and try to implement them into your life today!
We all need one. The workout routine for when you haven’t been able to make it to your class. For when you haven’t enough time to go to the gym. Or for when you day has run away from you and it’s 8pm and the kids are asleep.
