A lot of smaller women waste time and effort trying to follow the same rules of training as someone who’s trying to drop their body weight. This is how I approach training and how I’ve helped many of my clients finally go from skinny to strong.
Eating less calories is going to get you nowhere! The calories you need will very much vary from person to person and depend a lot on your lifestyle but if you’re already in a smaller body and you’re increasing your activity levels realistically you’re probably going to need 2000+ kcals per day.
I’m not saying don’t do any cardio, obviously we still want to keep your fitness levels up and your body healthy. But doing cardio with every session or tonnes of HIIT classes is not going to be optimal for your goals. If you enjoy that kind of training you can still do it but you should be prioritizing 3-4 resistance sessions per week to start seeing growth.
Training effectively is key and carbs are your fuel! You’re going to need to be well fueled for those heavy resistance sessions that are going to build your body.
If you’re not getting adequate protein intake theirs no way you’re going to be able to grow your muscles so you need to be on it with your protein goals. 30g protein per meal plus 1 protein snack per day is a great place to start.
If you’re splitting your sessions across specific body parts each time you’re missing out on gains. Increasing the frequency you train each muscle group will help you grow quicker. So try and make sure each group is getting hit twice a week at least.
You don’t need to worry about eating “clean” or avoiding all processed or indulgent foods. A healthy diet is a balanced diet, try instead to think of the 80/20 rule.
You don’t need to be taking a million supplements (and spending a fortune on them) to make progress. I recommend creatine for pretty much everyone, a protein powder is helpful for most people and if you’re following certain diets or have deficiencies some vitamins are worth taking. But other than that focusing on a balanced diet and getting adequate recovery is far more important.
Your body needs time to rest and recover in order to build muscle. So don’t think that
If you haven’t recently, take a moment to look back at how far you’ve come, you’ll be surprised how easy it is to take your progress for granted.
And take this as your sign that if you’re not quite where you want to be yet, there’s no reason you can’t get there.
We all start somewhere, but there’s no reason you can’t achieve your goals if you’re willing to do the work 💗🫶💛

My day in moments.
Finding in joy in the little things and the everyday actions that we take for granted ✨
Starting the day with PT sessions at the gym
I’m still not great at early starts so the makeup only goes on once the day has already started 😅
Coffee break to catch up on messages and admin
Hot and sweaty Hyrox class, thanks Danny!
Cheeky trip to Ora, currently OBSESSED with their açaí bowl
Next work block with more in person clients and updating sessions for some of my online girls. I can’t concentrate unless doodling. I’m quite the artist if you hadn’t noticed 🤣
Quick mobility session before my last session of the day.
Finishing the day and feeling fortunate to be surrounded by so many incredible women
Reunited with my love after a whole day away from him
Honestly he’s so cute I’d die for him
Spontaneous Dominos. Their vegan options aren’t what they used to be but it’s still a yummy treat
And finally chilling out with Physical 100, unironically my favourite show
Just think where you could be by the end of the year if you committed to yourself for the next 16 weeks!
You know I’ll always try and find a positive spin on things, but I truly do believe this is the perfect time of year to lock in and shift your focus on yourself and your wellbeing.
You don’t have to wait to set new year’s resolutions, if you have goals you want to achieve don’t put them off any longer, it’s time to invest your time in you 💗🫶💛
Don’t confuse “simple” and “easy” when it comes to getting results.
Because if it was easy, no one would be struggling to do it.
But that doesn’t mean it’s complicated, it just means you’ll have to put the effort in the right direction.
I’ve always made it clear that I think leading a happier, healthier lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated, but I’m not saying that means it’s easy.
You’ll have to commit to doing the work and making better choices, even when that doesn’t feel easy to do.
But that’s why working with a coach can be such a valuable investment in yourself.
Because it’s our job to keep it simple, keep you accountable and guide you in the right direction even when it doesn’t feel easy.
If you’re ready to start making real changes to your lifestyle, let’s have a chat and see what simple steps we can start to take, drop me a DM today 💗🫶💛
Some days showing up for yourself looks different than others.
Some days it’s working hard.
Some days it’s resting hard.
Some days it’s going all out.
Some days it’s just getting by.
Regardless of what today looks like, make sure you’re honoring yourself 💗🫶💛
Harsh but true.
You’re waiting til you feel ready to step foot in the gym. But what if you never feel ready?
The truth is starting at the gym can feel intimidating, but I promise you it isn’t as scary as you think. Taking that first step will be the worst part, once you’re here you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about.
Confidence is built by stepping out of your comfort zone.
Confidence is built by realising you can do difficult things.
Confidence can absolutely be built in the gym.
And the good news is if you are nervous about going to the gym you don’t have to do it alone. Find a friend to drag along, tag along with a family member, or find a PT who can do a bit of hand holding to make you realise the gym is absolutely somewhere you belong.
If you need a helping hand getting started in the gym, drop me a message and let’s see if we can get you on the road to being that confident gym girly 💗🫶💛
Hot Take - you’re thinkjng the hard work is going to be worse than it is!
You keep telling yourself is going to be so difficult, almost impossible, so you’re stopping yourself from getting it done.
My experience is that nearly always the reality of doing the thing is so much more manageable than what you thought it would be.
And you also shouldn’t be afraid of working hard, because getting through the challenge is rewarding in itself.
It’s time to stop putting off and start doing because you deserve to get to that end point, and I can pretty much guarantee that you’re more capable of doing that hard work than you think you are 💗🫶💛

Kinda chic to be late to the trend because you came up with 40 ideas and had to choose which were your favourites 😅
