I can’t believe this coach called my out on my technique

Is what I’d say if I still thought like before 10 years of training😂

Nah my friend said this n it reminded me of how I used to think about leg pressing / squatting movements.

I thought, the lower/ deeper, the better.

All good n well when you’re working quads.

But for glutes?

I find a more hip dominant movement where the knees travel less over the ankles works best.

Applies to split squats, lunges, deadlifts as much as it does leg presses.

If you’re a 🎀gym gurly✨ trying to grow a dump truck of doom, then I can, believe it or not, show you how to get more out of what you’re probably already doing (wrong)

(Joking, kinda)

Focus on what you’re feeling, that’ll tell you if you’re hitting it right🍑

Nobody likes going to the gym when they feel shtty,

but sometimes those sessions where you feel the worst end up being the best

that’s been true for me as much as it was one of my clients last week.

If you cba going, go anyway.

Progress isn’t made in the moments you most want to do the thing,

But in those moments where you least want to, but do it anyway.

Being held accountable to doing this goes a long way.

So if you feel like that’s what you’re missing rn, DM me “SHOW UP” and I’ll show you how we do it

Once I got started, it was easy to keep going.

Most people delay feeling that confidence in their body not because they can’t do it - but because they put off getting started for so long.

My client said it best in his testimonial the other day there

“I wish I’d started years earlier instead of making excuses.

It might feel like a big step at first, but once you get going you’ll wonder why you waited so long.

It’s one of the best things I’ve done for myself.

I gained confidence that I didn’t even realise I was lacking”

If you can relate, DM me PRIDE - I’ll share a shortcut I learned years later that shifts the feeling in moments instead of carrying it for years like I did

Motivation comes after you start, not before.

It’s the reward, not the starting point.

Every client I’ve helped transform started without it.

Busy, tired, stressed out… doubting they’re even capable of making it happen.

But they started.

Took a leap, made a commitment and kept a promise to themselves.

And a few weeks in, something shifts.

Not the body first. The belief in themselves. They can do this.

They start trusting their own word again.

That’s where motivation actually comes from.

Not a fu***ng quote.
Evidence that they CAN - when they felt like they couldn’t.

You don’t need to feel ready to start.

You need one kept promise to yourself. Then another.

If you’ve been waiting for motivation before you start,
Remember that it works the other way round.

DM me RUT and I’ll send you a free gift to help you find your motivation again.

You’re not the problem.

Your thinking is.

And you are not your thinking.

You use your thinking.

Most people don’t know how to change their way of thinking.

I do. I can help you.

Because when you change your thinking, whatever you think about changes -

Change the way you look at yourself,
the way you look changes

Change how you think about eating, exercising, taking time for yourself,
How you eat, exercise and show up for yourself changes

What I’m talking about here is the thing I do best.

Tell me what your biggest problem is when it comes to fitness. I’ll coach you through it for free in the DMs.

My client told me nutrition was their biggest problem.
It wasn’t.

Underneath it was a work situation taking up every inch of their headspace.

And when your mind is that loud, you don’t make wise decisions with food. You make impulsive ones.

They weren’t eating food. They were eating their feelings.

So we didn’t start with a meal plan. We went to the root.

Asked the questions. Found the answers they couldn’t see at first.

The stress lifted. The resentment dissolved. And the nutrition sorted itself in minutes, because the plan was never the hard part. The noise was.

If your emotions have been running your eating, you’re not undisciplined. You’re overloaded.

There’s a difference, and it changes everything about the solution.

Real change runs in this order: perception, then decision, then action.

Most coaching starts at step three. I start at step one.

If something in this landed, DM me the one thing that stood out. Let’s chat about it.
