My fitness story is a life-long journey of learning to listen to my body and give it what it needs. I started by losing weight. It was a necessary first step, but my instinct to eat less and drop pounds wasn't ultimately what was best for me. I needed to build muscle, and eat more healthy, protein rich foods to support that muscle growth. Strength training has been one of the best things I have done for myself. It has supported me through many stages in life- from competing, to having a baby, to going through the first stages of perimenopause. And I'm not done yet!
I love fitness. I love working on my body. I do it every day. But I would be lying if I said I am motivated and excited about it every single day. I share some of the things I do to overcome the urge to be stationary. My top tip- find something that brings you joy when you exercise and do that regularly. It will shift your whole perspective.
