I’m sure that you don’t always want to hear a step by step account of my daily activities, so whilst I may some times blog about this, I thought you might find it interesting to find out my thoughts about other areas of the health and fitness world, starting with an advert I saw last […]

Read articleMaking Exercise A Priority
The last couple of days have been great days, great personal training sessions with my clients and my own training has gone really well. One of the common things I’ve talked about to my clients in the last couple of days is about making exercise a priority and prioritising their nutrition. I appreciate that everyone […]

I’m going to blog ‘properly’ later, but I just wanted to share a quick thought with you…..as a personal trainer in Leeds many of my clients, friends and family often ask me what is the best exercise for the abdominals.

Don’t you just love the lighter mornings and evenings! It has great this week at both motive8 North personal training studios in Leeds. The milder weather has meant we can take our clients outside and soak up a bit of Vitamin D! Spring is in the air….I can feel it, it’s just around the corner! […]
Read articlePushing Yourself out of Your Comfort Zone
As a personal trainer we often challenge our clients to push themselves out of their comfort zone. On Tuesday night I taught Spin and Pump for Kate at Saxton, and I will be honest….I was nervous! Not because I didn’t think I couldn’t deliver the class but because I know that Kate is an amazing […]

When the alarm went off this morning I thought I had slept in! Through one eye I looked at my phone and realised it was only 5:10am and the start of another week! Yippee! My day started off with some scrambled eggs and veg whilst I got ready for the day ahead. This weekend my […]

Thursday was a 6am start as normal, people often ask me if I mind the early starts and late finishes but I’ve always accepted it as part and parcel of my job – most people want to work out before or after work so if you work in the fitness industry you have to be […]

Whilst I was driving to work at 5:45am this morning I reflected back on my day yesterday. My clients had all worked their socks off, right from my first session at 6:30am, to the last session at 7:30pm, but this wasn’t just the common factor of the day as my clients always work hard! The […]

Last night I had a dream that I was walking through Leeds and saw Chris Baird smoking!! I woke up in a cold sweat and started thinking about whether it was a disciplinary and then remembered it was a dream….phew! As I sat eating breakfast (porridge with seeds and cinnamon this morning) I reflected on […]

I’m about to fly out to Paris for a weekend away with my husband this morning. My friends will think I’m crazy, but my personal training clients will expect nothing less about what I’m going to say next. I’ve been sat here since 6:15am working and drinking water so I can get out for an […]
