POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This year, I made a commitment to myself to feel stronger.

I have always been fairly fortunate that I haven’t ever gone down a rabbit hole on my figure however waking up tired, with aches and pains during perimenopause, made me realise I wanted to give my body more care and attention.

Yes, I am on HRT, and it’s helping me in ways I need right now although this is something I would love to not be on long term and will try to find my way with this when I feel the time is right.

In the past, I would have tried to change everything at once though, This year, I’ve chosen to slow down, listen to myself and build from there.

My sound sessions have given me more than I ever expected. Creating space for other people to slow down has helped me hear what I need as well 🙏. Sometimes that’s movement and a little push. Sometimes it’s rest.

A big thank you to Adrian @functionalmovement101 for being such an amazing coach and mentor. Your passion shines through, and it inspires me to keep trying and see what I’m capable of.

Although, let’s be honest… halfway through a session as my face demonstrates in the video half way through, your voice isn’t always my favourite sound! 😂 All said with love and I know you want the best for us all that come to your bootcamps.

Over the last couple of weeks, I haven’t felt too well, so I have listened to my body and taken a break however I’m ready to get back to it. I miss the banter, the encouragement and all the lovely girls in the group, and I’m looking forward to building on what I’ve achieved this summer over the winter months!

For me, Rise & Realign is about listening to yourself and making room for what you need. This year, I’m learning to live that a little more. 🌿

Here’s to getting stronger, at my own pace. #wellness #bootcamp #fitness #soundhealing #gettingstronger💪

Did some wide grip pulls (despite telling myself to rest my hand). Asked my friend @functionalmovement101 to film me. No fancy song to cover the original audio of the encouragement I got - @clare_calisthenics always providing support! Thanks @tezzaj1979 @clare_calisthenics & @functionalmovement101 ☺️

Cali gives you wings!

First time at @farm_fitness with my fav gym bro 😎🌞🔥

Had the whole outdoor yard to ourselves and played on almost everything.

Can't recommend this place enough. If you love Calisthenics, Hyrox, Crossfit, any functional stuff, you've gotta try this place out.

Set in the Essex countryside of Dunmow, surrounded by fields and the odd flying pheasant, this place rocks with its setting and equipment combined.

Loveliest staff (shout out to Laura and Max) - we were given the warmest welcome and made to feel completely at home 🙏🏻 Literally can't ask for more than that.

Will definitely be heading back here soon 💛

After PT with Clare, I did some handstand practise.
Some little holds with a welcome interruption in the middle featuring Adrian… one of my biggest supporters!
Was a good morning 😌

DEAD HANG CHALLENGE 🥅 Your bodyweight in kilos = seconds to hang. My toughest dead hang so far 🫠

Came up with this idea and couldn't get it out of my head...

Could I really do this? Hang with my own bodyweight strapped to me - like a whole other person - and just hang there for that same amount of time in seconds... is that even a thing?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

So, I had to try it.
And this was the result.
Not at all what I expected 🤯

Shout out to my superb time-keeping & cheering-on squad @functionalmovement101 and @clare_calisthenics 🫡

ℹ️ Bw: 58.5kg / 128.97lbs
ℹ️ Height: 5ft 5in / 165cm

Anyone else trying this one? 🤝🏼

Tagging a few extra strong peeps who have done some crazy hang challenges and might fancy giving this one a go 💪🏻

⚠️ I wouldn't even attempt this challenge unless you can hang by your own bodyweight (no additional weight) for at least 1 min.

Starting the year with a quick grip strength test to see how this 40+ yr old body holds up.. actually went a lot more smoothly than I thought it was going to. Might shoot for 2 mins next time 🤪

Targets for optimum muscle mass & signs of longevity are:
🎯 90 secs (1m 30secs) for females between 40-50
🎯 120 secs (2 mins) for males between 40-50

Who's trying this one next? 🙋🏼‍♀️💪🏻

I've tagged a few of you in this - let me know how you get on - for some it will be a walk in the park 😉
