The days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder and it's getting harder to workout. None of these things make it any easier to workout first thing in the morning or after work. It's miserable, it's cold, and the last thing you want to do is start working out. I get it. So what's… Continue reading How To Overcome The Winter-Workout Blues

Comparison – the thief of joy
I think this is something we are all guilty of... It's so easy to open up Instagram and compare yourself to the first person that comes up on your feed. You may not even notice you're doing it, I think half the time this is something we do subconsciously, and then wonder why we don't… Continue reading Comparison – the thief of joy
The importance of setting goals
One thing that I have learnt since I started taking my fitness seriously, is to never underestimate the importance of having a goal to focus on.

How to Feel Confident in a Gym
I completely get that Gyms can be scary places at times. There is nothing more intimidating than when you're first starting out, and it feels like everyone else around you knows exactly what they're doing, how to work everything, and you really don't. But everyone feels like this initially, the key is to keep going. I'll… Continue reading How to Feel Confident in a Gym
