Lets talk Cellulite
Got Cellulite?? GREAT So have most people
Why do we try and hide it?
Why do companies sell shit like Cellulite creams/pants/supplements….do they even know what it is??
Do you know its natural and it looks god damn HOT?
Cellulite……part of the body and genetic make up…you cant get rid of it like you can do body fat…so stop trying to
Embrace it, show it off and stop hiding away because you have it
And if someone tells you its ugly….you have my permission to tell them to FUCK OFF
What goes into a class?
What goes into a class?
We dont just rock up, lash the music on an start teaching…we dont just decide there and then this is what we are going to do and then BAM it all comes to us
NOOOOO we spend endless hours (unpaid may I add) making up routines, getting it to flow, finding the write music, the right BPM, the right moves to compliment each other.
We plan everything from the warm up to the stretch
We spend hours researching new things to bring, all the different ways to do a squat (LOL)
Next time you attend a class – wether it be online or face2face – show some respect and courtesy for the instructor….because I can guarantee they’ve spent hours creating this one class for you to enjoy
There is sooo much that goes into a class….so much love, care and attention
OK so I only speak for myself here cos I dont know what other instructors do…but please know when you attend my classes…be it online, outdoor or at the gym….you will get the BEST I can give, I will have planned and prepared the class an picked the music I think is the best
I care
I Love what I do
Its not “just a class”

Dont Buy Into it
Celebs
You see them promoting it
You see them tell you all about it
You see them giving you a “link” to buy it
You believe in them
You believe they have tried and tested it
You never once think they are just after the commission from their affilliate scheme
So you MUST buy it?
Because they “look good” and because they have made you believe that you need it
Do they care about you? NO
Do they care about your health and wellbeing? NO
So what do they care about…..?? £££££££
Just because a celeb endorses something..doesnt always mean they use it/believe in it/think it works…..it means they are getting paid for it…being told by their management etc that it must be done
But you buy it…cos they say so and you use your hard earned money to buy into it, to fill their pockets
Will it work? Probably not
Want a better option? Use the money to invest in YOU and YOURSELF in a better way…stop lining their pockets

What is the Ideal Body??
Wanna know what the Ideal Body Type is??
I can let you into a secret of the Ideal Body Type
THERE
ISNT
ONE
Thats it…thats the BIG Secret!
There is NO Ideal Body Type
You are never guna look like someone else
Your body will never be the same as the ones you see on “the gram” – tbh half of them dont even look like that themselves
There is NO such thing as an Ideal Body Type/Shape
There isnt…end of!!!
There is no way you SHOULD look
There are NO rules
There isnt a book that tells you all this
You look how you look
You feel how you feel
We are all different
We all look different
Isnt that what makes us unique??
Exercise….does it stress u out???
Exercise
Does the thought of it stress you out?
Dont know where to start?
Worried what others will think?
Will they look at me? Judge me?
Too much confusing info out there?
Not got the time?
Stressed about the thought of it?
Feeling unfit?
Exercise doesn’t have to bring all this to the surface
It shouldn’t add to your stress
We can often over complicate it, think it needs to be something more than it is.
Exercise is simply just moving the body in a way that feels good for you
Need help? – Hire a trainer, Invest in yourself
Dont know where to start? – Trainer/Youtube/Message me
Haven’t got the time? – walk more, take the stairs, get up half an hour earlier
Worried what others will think? – FUCK them
Will they judge me? – who cares? Say more about them at the end of the day
The though stressing you out?- Go for a walk……oh look thats exercise
Feeling Unfit? – we all start somewhere, and until we start we cannot begin to get fitter
Money a worry? – Walk it’s FREE, Youtube…lots of FREE content
There will always be an excuse
BUT there will always be a solution
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself
Just move…anyway
Walk
Take the stairs
Walk instead of email in the office
Park further away
Get off the bus a stop earlier
Take advantage of the lighter nights and go for a walk after your tea
Get out at weekends
Try that class you’ve always wanted to
Do it for YOU and no1 else

Non Scale Victories
Non Scale Victory…..do you celebrate yours?
Non Scale Victory is a way for us to measure their weight loss/progress without being constrained to a single measurement of a scale.
The Scales and the number thats on them seem to get put on a pedestal like its the be all and end all to Health and Fitness…..so often that we forget everything else that we have achieved and everything else that happens off the scales
Do you celebrate yours?
Here are some examples of Non Scale Victories:
- Sleeping Better
- Clearer Skin
- Feeling Happy
- More energy
- Lowered Blood Pressure
- Feeling Fitter
- Breathing Better
- Daily Activities feeling easier
- Clothes fitting better
- Increased concentration
- Clearer Focus
- Wanting to move the body
- Being inspiring to others
- Stronger
Remember the scales are not a measure of success or of your worth
We need to STOP giving the scales and the number we see on them so much credit….Its time we celebrated all our wins
Will you celebrate yours?
What are your Non Scale Victories??

You CANT Outrun your Fork
Guess what……
YOU CANT OUTRUN YOUR FORK!!
Yep…..no matter how much you train if you eat sh*t then its a recipe for disasters
If you train hard all week and then ruin your diet at the weekend…yes thats fine and its your choice BUT the results will never come
They say Abs are made in the kitchen and in a way thats kinda true, what you eat and what your body absorbs will eventually reflect on the outside and your body is a clever little sausage.
If you train a few times a week that can be 4(ish)hours a week….so thats 164 hours a week you are not exercising (give or take)…so its sometimes more important what you do with those hours then whilst you are actually in the gym. (Im NOT saying the gym hours dont count….)
When it comes down to it….you just need to burn more calories than you consume…that is literally the basics….so unless you going to be exercising more than you’re not…it makes sense to look at your nutrition and make those tweaks and eat right, because you will never out run your fork (but not all calories are created equal)
It does go deeper than that above, as certain foods can trigger certain hormonal changes, food is sending your body information and it will in turn react..but let’s not get too technical.
No matter how hard you train,…YOU WONT see results if you have a sh*tty diet.
Match your diet to your training
Moderation is key
Avoid restricting your diet – as this can lead to long term damage
Good eating happens, exercise and harmony within are cornerstones to health, longevity, happiness and overall health
So stop trying to run away from your fork

6 Packs….do you really want one?
6 Packs can be a big “goal” to a lot of people
Do you know we ALL have a 6 pack?
So you get one….and then what?? Is it for the likes on the gram? Will it make a difference to your life?
Are you doing it for recognition from others?
They see pics of fitness models and so on – over on Social Media and in Magazines and they think they inspire to that because it is the ultimate Health and Fitness Goal
And whilst it is great to have a goal….sometimes we dont realise what actually goes into getting this goal….
So Ill keep this short and sweet
If you really want a 6 pack……no matter how many sit ups and planks you do……you will need to have a very LOW Body fat percentage to even get this…and thats the be all and end all
You can spend all day doing crunches but it doesn’t matter if your Body Fat isn’t LOW enough
And “sometimes” it isn’t actually healthy to get the BF that LOW……
So stop wasting your time doing all these silly ab curls and planks…instead how about chose a new goal of “Health” and just being happy?
Will a 6 pack make you happy? I mean really happy?
And if you are still stuck on getting one…..my biggest tip is LOOK AT YOUR DIET! You need to be at a calorie deficit to be able to drop serious Body Fat
