ACM Personal Training As a personal trainer, I advocate a healthy sustainable approach to fitness & nutrition. I have a go

Rely on this and you’ll fall short everytime.

We don’t start anything full of motivation; because we haven’t seen any results at the start. Things feel hard, tiring, boring or like you’re up against the 🌎

You say you feel motivated, ready to go, ready to change, all fired up. You go out all guns blazing. All or nothing. Because in that moment everything seems to align and the timing feels spot on.

But what about the times when things don’t feel 💯 ? You’re tired, overwhelmed, stressed, other priorities, other things to focus on, not seeing the results? That motivation vanishes and a sudden fluctuation sees us feeling lethargic, resistant and really uninspired to stick at what we’ve been doing.

Motivation is such a fluctuating, unreliable state to rely on. Some days it’s there, others it vanishes. But in order to stay overall consistent, we can’t just sack off everything we’ve been working hard on….as soon as that happens.

The real problem isn’t lack of motivation.
It’s noise. Too much conflicting advice. Too many rigid self made rules and pressure. An all or nothing approach that feels shaky whenever it’s challenged with things more prominent.

You can’t do fitness ‘perfectly. No one can.

So instead, building routines, structures and the bigger purpose can help you show up on those less motivated days. Having a reason why.

You don’t see progress through motivation. Flip it 🔄
You build in confidence and motivation, through consistent momentum and self belief. Which comes from having a proactive mindset and building trust in your ability to show up even when you don’t want to!

Am I entering my running ARC? 🏃‍♀️☀️

Swipe for a story and the entire range of emotion from last weekend. From panic attack next told Old Trafford half an hour before, to throwing shapes under the bridge when they gave us Techno beats, before crossing the line and throwing myself into the arms of the paramedic (soz to them).

Quite an eventful 90 minutes and 37 secs tbf.

First running race ☑️
First half Mara ☑️
Therefore automatic PB (I don’t make the rules).

Not my first dramatic finish line pic though 🤷🏼‍♀️ guess it’s my signature?

A moment for the moments, because there’s been a few.

I’ve been busy stacking them and honestly, how it should be.



Training with direction, purpose and seeing progress.
Brick by brick baby.

Mates dates ❤️ when potatoes are involved.

Gadgets that make life easier / satisfying AF.

Goooooood eating (especially when I’m not cooking).

Surviving and not always thriving.

Lil’ pig.

3 layers Goretex is the only way the be and I’ve had chance to test it plenty (still manifesting summer with shorts)

Feeling strong and celebrating it. Cos it’s not something I’ve felt often with endurance sport and so we have to shot and celebrate when I do!

🎨

My people, doing their thing.

Running in the sun = the only way to convince myself it’s enjoyable?

Fashion. Icon. Model. Serving.

Cereal = 🐐 and I won’t hear anything less than.

Touch grass.

I’m a savoury not sweet gal and even my sweat agrees

New gym lighting is 🧑‍🍳💋

Venturing out in other than Lycra.

Golden hour.

I’ll give you a clue… 🕵️‍♀️

Not a single person said that the one word they’d give, was in anyway related to their body. Nobody quoted their body fat percentage or their clothing size.

Nobody gave their VO2 max score (regardless of how impressive) or marathon PB.

Not a single bodyweight was named, or max bench press quoted.

All of the answers had much more to do with a personality trait, achievement or how someone hoped they showed up for others. Which isn’t to say that the more aesthetic based goals/physical attributes shouldn’t be important or meaningful. Especially if they’re things you’ve worked hard and taken a long time to achieve. These things or course hold value in our lives.

But they’re not our sole identity. Or our most valuable trait. The goals and targets we have, can and should be expand past just aesthetics and body based. They shouldn’t become our entire self worth.

Because if your number one quality as a human, is that you have a sub-“x” body fat percentage or you fit into “x” size jeans. Then your actions, behaviours and entire existence outside of that, aligns with it. So much so, that if it’s ever taken away? We can feel lost.

So if I asked you, what’s one word you’d use for yourself….

What’s your answer?

Fitness and health might seem complicated…

But when you use analogies, sayings or cues to help you remember it can start to feel a little more familiar.

If you do anything this week, plssssssss avoid putting diesel in a petrol / leccy car. Give your engine the fuel it needs 🏎️💨
