24.01.2022 To start 2020 with a BANG I will be running FREE consultations for the rest of this month! If next week isn’t possible for you, send me a message ASAP and we can book for when suits and still be free! Comment ‘ME’ below OR send me DM to book in for your free consultation

23.01.2022 The benefits of complimenting your program with a session of Pilates, or including exercises using foundational ‘mat’ work are far too valuable to turn a blind eye to. This includes exercises such as: - Deadbugs - Hip bridges (s/l)... - Functional TVA & pelvic floor activation - Scapular setting Essentially movements that activate your stabilisers particularly gluteus mediums & your deep core. It’s important to remember these aren’t just used for ‘beginners’ or even just senior clients - these are exercises I see elite athletes use... they’re vital for any rehabilitation programs AND for ensuring a strong foundation of stabilisers which will allow you lift more if you are doing any kind of weight lifting.

22.01.2022 What have you been running from, that’s actually got you stuck? . . Comment below what you will face this week?

21.01.2022 Accountability buddies are a must in life, but it’s important to not forget who has the biggest responsibility... YOU. Your internal dialogue, or the way you speak/think to yourself, is running day in, and day out. What do you think would happen if you were saying and responding the same way to someone else constantly - I can assure you it would be far from constructive.... Others can only keep you accountable to a point, and may only make up a moment in your day, or week. While that mind of yours is with you 24/7 whether you like it or not. So take accountability and ACTION yourself too. Make your headspace and internal dialogue an ally and not your enemy. Because you cannot purely rely on external factors, like an accountability buddy, coach or loved one, it will only have you constantly leaving your life in the hands of others - which is exactly where it doesn’t belong.

21.01.2022 We all have goals right? Goals on where we want to get, things we want to do, and who we want to be But instead of saying, start doing - visualise your highest self, your ultimate self, and start showing up as them. Live like they do, interact like they do, speak like they do, BE THEM.... You won’t always be motivated, today won’t always be easy, you won’t always wake up with a fire in your belly and you won’t always feel like it but, you must instead learn to be disciplined enough to realise... Motivation comes by DOING. So you must DO

21.01.2022 Slowly loading this baby up Second week programming seated goodmornings and giving myself 2 loaded mobility sessions a week and loooovvinngggg it - feel strong, yet the body feels nice and juicy after heavy days beforehand

18.01.2022 This babe had her first session in the new space @strengthonascot last night SESSION 1 and we’ve already got her under the bar for squats - improved patterning - improved ROM... - removed her usual lumbar discomfort when squatting . . . WANTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR TRAINING?! [email protected] @aptitudehealth.co | @strengthonascot See more

17.01.2022 When COVID-19 gives you gym closures, you take things online!! While I’m sure a home-base will come about in the near future - I have instead begun an online platform to allow me to now guide many more clients with their health, training & mindset Currently offering:... Online Coaching Live Classes Health & immunity program Power-up student program I want to support and guide as much as I can at this time, so please be mindful, that if one or more of these interest you, there are (VERY) discounted packages available for just that! Comment or dm ‘ME’ if you are at all interested, and I will send you further details

17.01.2022 RANGE of STRENGTH I see & define ‘range of strength’ exactly as it sounds - are you strong through a joint/s entire range of motion? This doesn’t mean there is value in being stronger in a portion of that ROM, because we almost always are, and that simply comes down to the nitty gritty of muscle length-tension relationships.... However, when we look at ‘injury prevention’ I believe that by avoiding certain movements, or certain ROM’s you then get weaker in that range, hence actually making yourself weaker in that position & MORE likely to injure yourself in that range. DISCLAIMER: that this works with WELL DONE coaching, foundations & progressions. Too much load, can cause injuries at the best of times, let alone in ‘vulnerable’ positions - train properly & train educated people!!

16.01.2022 Coaches & health professionals should never stop learning Are you coach? Are you still learning? Or, do you have a coach? Do they still sees out growth and progression as a professional?... It could be: learning different skills, learning from other professionals, looking at new research, practice what they preach - learning AND applying! In this kind of industry you have the potential to come across a huge variety of clients/patients now and in the future, I always want to take a reliable, and holistic approach. It’s not just about body composition, numbers or results - it’s also about function, health and ability - so, you can never know or learn too much!! This is something I very highly value, and is something I’ve had as a standard for myself on my journey to being and becoming a health & fitness professional. Especially after falling in love with coaching after being mentee, and then mentoring with @coachjarratt for TJT. I’ve since started training & coaching clients online and face-to-face BUT I also do a Physiotherapy internship with @northsdevilsrlfc & have started shadowing @exalto_holistichub as well. You couldn’t love what I do, and what I will do, more. Being in these environments fills my cup, it’s a passion and constantly pushes me personally too! What standards are you holding for yourself (as a coach), or are you seeking in your coaches?

14.01.2022 Don’t ignore your own potential When you’re face something challenging, what is your response or reaction? Do you face it? Do you ignore it? Do you play with curiosity? Run the f!ck away from it? Is there are pity party maybe?... Your ‘success’, or achievements, even your sense of trust in yourself, ultimately stems from your self-efficacy. Which is your own belief or confidence in your capacity to achieve tasks. Your self-efficacy develops in early childhood but evolves throughout your lifetime from experiences, and influences. BUT interestingly can also be observed as an immediate or short-term result of your biochemistry Poor diet, under eating, lack of physical activity, the pill, and chronic stress are all factors that can have negative impact on your biochemistry, which can be reflected in your self-efficacy Think about how you respond to a challenge... that is likely to be a reflection of your self-efficacy.

13.01.2022 Heya . Are you on the Sunshine Coast, or North Brisbane? . .... Are you a woman that is ready to take her life & health into her own hands?! . . I am currently looking for female clients to begin training at my new home-based gym @strengthonascot . . Shoot me a message if you are interested, or to book a consultation & we will get started . If don’t live locally but still interested to start coaching with me, please still DM me because I am still taking on online clients also @ Sunshine Coast, Queensland See more

11.01.2022 This morning was the start of my third week taking the Seniors class @jettsmargate and I can sure my entire heart was it full this morning, to see a group of 50yo+ members: 1. Consistently put in all their effort for each session 2. Everyone’s technique improving! 3. LOTS of new questions, we almost did a whole Q&A this morning 4. ALL of them can now diaphragmatically breathe, and activate their TVA... So, what excuse is holding you back

11.01.2022 Podcast has now gone live on Spotify I began this podcast primarily to strike conversations for women to step into their power & feel guided, supported and encouraged along the way. The goal is to have new episodes weekly and in later episodes I will be talking training & health, having guests and informative sessions.... Listen, follow, rate, share from the link https://open.spotify.com/show/7DCVd8ZqVfyYVsxehSmxQG

11.01.2022 Ever since finding a home-base to start coaching at, the outcome of working with the number of clients I am, seriously sets me on fire Everything I encompass on here, is merely a reflection of what’s transferred when coaching my clients, and it f***en shows! I’m currently running some specials for semi-private group training sessions (@jettsmargate) for anyone who would like to do some sessions with a friend, partner or family member!... Alsoooo, open to any new clients who don’t have access to 1x1 sessions with me, wanting to start online programming and coaching. There is some info on the flyers used in the post, so please shoot me through a message if you’re keen to start!! And, if you have any extra questions Also, if you’re local to the Margate/Redcliffe area the gym runs some free classes, but I have also started up some specialised group sessions, which are only $10 to attend @ Jetts Margate

10.01.2022 ladies & coaches listening up A topic I want to address and will continue to address, no matter how taboo it may seem. Ladies if you are training I want you to be aware of this, and coaches if you are taking your clients training seriously you should at the very least be asking the relevant questions.... When menstruating there is a cascade of hormonal, physiological and biochemical changes going on in the body. So when it comes to training, it shouldn’t look the same to how it was the week before, or it will the week after. More often than not, your body will need to ‘deload’ and sessions decrease in intensity, for some there is no changes - so awareness of your body is vital, and coaches must be adaptable to that intuition. @ Sunshine Coast, Queensland

10.01.2022 Did you know that children as young as 5 report dissatisfaction with their bodies in Australia? . . Did you know that 50% of 13 yo. girls are unhappy with their bodies, and that percentage rises to 80% in 18 yo. girls? .... . Body image is a multifaceted concept comprised of perceptual, attitudinal, and behavioural components. . Body empowerment and confidence to me is far more than ‘health’ and hence requires a different approach. . For me it’s about self-love, it’s about mindset and mental health. It’s raising awareness in the behaviours that come along with poor body image and self perceptions, and understanding when what you may hear, or even notice you’re say yourself may be a trigger to the impacting one of the facets of body image. . . Insecurity, comparison, intimidation, or an unhealthy lifestyle are not in the same mixing bowls. They’re not correlated like some people seem to believe or perceive. They’re not correlated because body image is encompassed into health, not opposing it. . . I could tell you about social media, but I’m sure you’ve already heard so instead I want you to reflect. What is your body image like? How do you perceive the concept of body image? What have you shared, seen, commented on about yourself, or others? . . I ask you, if you aren’t someone who experiences issues with body image, are you a part of the challenge, or the solution? See more

07.01.2022 What’s a tempo lift & why do we do them Such a love/hate relationship with tempo’s! A tempo is essentially adding a count to your movement. This can be done on the eccentric (or lowering), a hold at the top or bottom, or on the concentric (push or ‘up’).... OR all of the above if you feel like torturing yourself They’re something that I would usually incorporate for technique. Plus, when they’re heavy enough & slow enough, they allow you to have much more control under heavier loads.

07.01.2022 Today was an exciting day!! Jetts Margate will be my home base for client sessions - free consults all month & some MEGA specials on PTs so hit me up if you’re interested! Otherwise, still taking Online Clients also... It’s super exciting to see so much of the efforts & learning from last year finally starting to fall together, excited to see the impact it has on my ‘to be’ clients - it’s so inspiring to meet so many people who are so keen to learn & grow, so excciiitttinngggggg!!!!

06.01.2022 Did you intend on coming into 2020 with bang? Have you already lost direction & drive for your goals?

04.01.2022 Repost: @spiritdaughter This is your reminder that growth is waiting for you outside of your comfort zone. Learning to welcome the discomfort that comes from stepping out, is only temporary. Overtime you find comfort in the discomfort of your growth, because in reality... it is nothing compared to the discomfort of being stagnant and stuck within your comfort zone your whole life.

A little feedback goes a long way

02.01.2022 Incline curls are a juicy way to load the biceps brachi through its whole range of motion (ROM). The biceps activate in elbow flexion, but also shoulder flexion, so when we put the shoulder & elbow joint into extension, you have put a ‘stretch’ through the entirety of the muscle. An incline curl, can be complimented by also adding more load to the inner range of the bicep by being prone (face down) on the bench and performing a curl (or a preacher curl), because now the shoul...der & elbow joint will be in flexion at the same time. You also have your usual bicep curl which has the shoulder at neutral. Neither is more or less effective, but combined will show a much larger increase in strength and muscle growth when compared to purely doing ‘standard’ bicep curls.

02.01.2022 I hope that each of you had a moment today to practice or appreciate your yoga practices & journeys thus far for international yoga day . And if you don’t have one to appreciate yet, make sure you join us for next year . .... The light in me sees and honours the light in each of you #internationalyogaday See more

01.01.2022 This is a gentle reminder today on the importance of nourishing your immune system, not just this week, not just the next month but every single day of your life. The mayhem, fear & craziness of COVID-19 has only highlighted for me the lack of understanding, education and value we as a society, have for our immune system & health. The gym is just one example where I’ve seen this, every class and session has been incredibly quiet in the last week, yet my young at heart class w...as FULL. Our most ‘at risk’ population, yet have the value and understanding of the importance of movement in this time, along with extra precautions in hygiene, to still come to class and nourish their bodies. Myself and a couple of other health professionals have considered collaborating to provide an immunity program to provide an educational and practical program to allow you to incorporate practices into your daily lives that will nourish your immune system along with your overall health & lifestyle. Take this uncharted time to learn, to nourish and connect. Have faith, and not fear. Look after yourselves
