👀Bit of an update on nutrition and training 💪 🗓 After a festive hiatus and a lockdown 3 sulk on maintenance......I'm a couple of weeks into the 8week @rpstrength app shred, my adherence is good right now, I've found it easy to fall back into the eating habits I had last summer and pre-Christmas. The results are coming quickly which is good, although I'm very mindful to keep my eye on the process rather than outcomes (braingains courtesy of @mindsetrxdnutrition 🧠😉) How is it affecting my energy levels, gymnastics, training volumes and intensity? 🤔 🏋️‍♀️I'm spending a lot of time training my weaknesses and focussing on the basics, lots of squatting (finally got me some quads and ass thanks to #projectthiccness) lots of snatching, lots of strength building.💪 😍👖 Loving my @_rebeluk training gear right now❤ #mindsetrxd #mindset #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #happy #happylife #nutrition #diet #progresspics #squatbootiesruletheworld #squatsfordays #backgains #rebelclothing #update #unleashyourpotential #mindsetrxdmethod (at Ansdell, Fylde) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLBoSiTgfGJ/?igshid=eqjr3ht7vr1i

👭Best friends can be soul mates too!❤💪 ▫️ 🧠 "We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with" - Jim Rohn So choose wisely! I'm lucky to have found this belter and her other half (now hubby) a few years back when I began my CF journey; never looked back and gone from strength to strength since❤🙏👌 ▫️ 🥰 I'm super fortunate to have a support network around me who root for my success as much as I do for theirs, in this dynamic we all win, because friendship and success are important to me in equal parts. ▫️ 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ Fun bit of synchro work this morning with @lindsey__roe at @sargentfitness. Get us back out on that competition floor!! ▫️ #beasts #hench #girlswithabs #gainstrain #sargentsquad #sargentfitness #samesexpairs #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #mindsetrxd #mindsetcoaching #Crossfit #crossfitwanker #lean #shreddsville #besties #bffs #instafit #wemisscompetitions #covidgains #lockdowngains (at Sargent Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CETl92qggHX/?igshid=1dc5mxj56t5hh

💪 on Friday's, we flex 💪 ▫️ 👀 11 weeks down and one to go!! ✂️Final week of my cut and I'm pretty happy about where I'm at physically and mentally 😬 ▫️ 🧠 I'm going to put something in my story about my @rpstrength diet experiences over the last 3months. But safe to say I'm very happy and impressed with the results. As ever a good diet and nutrition plan are only as effective as adherence allows, but I'll discuss that in another post. ▫️ 🏋️‍♀️ I'm still getting within 90% of my max lifts in training, my gymnastic ability has gone through the roof, my engine is purring like a kitten and I'm coming into the test phase for a back squat strength cycle. This diet and templates have supported me through all of this, no it's not been easy, but its definitely worth it!🙌 ▫️ #mindsetrxd #rpdiet #projectthiccness #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #happy #happylife #happyface #flexfriday #mindsetrxdnutrition #nutrition #diet #cuttingdiet #shreddsville #progresspics #oneweekout #greatlighting #alwaysposeinthegoodlight (at Sargent Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3Ne4RAvy5/?igshid=921o8qpbitc3

💪Do you even lift bro? ▫️ 😆 Theres not even any weight on that, I'm just flexing for the 'gram🙃 ▫️ 🙏 Grateful to have such good friends around me to spot me when things get heavy, not just on bench❤ ▫️ #bench #benchpress #mindset #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #friends #besties #training #girlswithabs #gainstrain #happy #happylife #girlswholift #Viking #powerlifting #Crossfit #crossfitwanker #lean #weightlifting #mindsetrxd (at Secret Squirrel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDJ4PNeA3R1/?igshid=vt0yfsa1x2kk

😬💪 ▫️ 👀 Well this has been a long time coming...... strict muscle ups baby!!🤩🙏 ▫️ 🤷‍♀️ In typical style, I've gone from struggling repeatedly for months (read years actually) to get over the rings at all, to banging out three in a row and 7 in one session! 😏Go figure🙃 ▫️ 🙏 I'll be honest, I needed this today. I was cold, tired, ravenous hungry and struggling with motivation. Bloody epic timing universe!🥰 ▫️ 🙌 Still got alot to do to tidy these up but I'm having this win. Lockdown goals almost fully achieved, nicely in time for gyms reopening..... 10 days left to nail handstand walking, I've got this right?!🤨 ▫️ #muscleup #ringmuscleup #strictmuscleup #mindsetrxd #mindset #DMG #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #gymnastics #calisthenics #Crossfit #strictstrength #falsegrip #Crossfit #crossfitwanker #progress #embracehardship #consistency (at Secret Squirrel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCtPjPkAtyI/?igshid=1hwm6hmcey38t

😊Happy Tuesday y'all!! ▫️ 🤔 Not been posting much lately (on this account but my foodie account @biffsbootyfuelbites has been busy!🤤🍽) due to life and stuff. All is well, I'm just plugging away getting my physique and nutrition into shape, training hard, working on my weaknesses, studying, working, parenting and enjoying life❤😇 ▫️ 👀 I am lurking and observing, lots of inspiration as life returns to a kind of 'normal' with a twist, makes me super happy seeing so much positivity in these strange times.👍 ▫️ #mindsetrxd #mindset #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #athlete #mum #student #employee #PayrollManager #keyworker #CIPD #CIPP #parenting #singleparent #coachbiff #embracehardship #mindsetovermatter #goingright #rp #diet #nutrition #happylife #happyface #happy #grateful #teambraingains (at Heyhouses, Fylde) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCVOx-wng4d/?igshid=1nk9yeizapi11

"Don't look back - you're not going that way."

😶Excuse the sweaty bare face, I'll be honest, I've pretty much given up wearing any form of makeup(not that I wore much anyway) so you'll just have to get used to it 🤷‍♀️ No filter, as is, natural state 🙈 ▫️ 🦵 Oh the quad burn was so real after the metcon, see the end of the video. The position your legs are in for the ab mat sit up almost guaranteed the build up of lactic acid in the quads couldn't go anywhere, if you transitioned from one movement to the other immediately😣🤣 ▫️ 💪 Still trying to grow myself some lats🙄 ▫️ #mindsetrxd #mindset #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #happy #happylife #stayathome #covid19 #lockdown #lockdowntraining #quadzilla #quads #quadburn #pecstick #latsincomming #metcon (at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHnM8SH5Ra/?igshid=1h8efbwk0n2l3

🏋️‍♀️I do like a barbell complex....featuring the worlds fluffiest ponytail (damn you clean hair!!🤦‍♀️🤣) ▫️ 🙌 Thought I'd give this one a whirl today: Hang Cluster, stoh, fr squat, hang power clean.... it got heavy quick😣😝 ▫️ 🧠@mindsetrxd ▫️ #barbellworkout #barbellcomplex #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #mindsetrxd #mindset #mindsetforlife #OLYLIFTING #olympicweightlifting #vikingwoman #Viking #Crossfit #crossfitmindset #embracehardship #mindsetovermatter #HFPO #massivehair (at Blackpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8G_VAvHc8B/?igshid=19casxranxtk9

🤔What is she doing now??🤷‍♀️ ▫️ 👀 Got any hip flexors mate?! I do not after this little finisher!!🤣 ▫️ 🤸‍♀️ Im no gymnast and this is VERY gymnastic-y, but with great cross-over benefits for anything requiring lower abdominal strength and hip-snap. So leg lifts, hollow body, toes-to-bar, Olympic lifting handstand control, skin the cat, back lever....etc.. If you're looking for those action man hips (definition in your lower abs/obliques, or inguinal crease if we're being fancy🤷‍♀️) this will switch all the right things on! 🙌💪 ▫️ 💪 The further away the hands are from the body, the harder the movement.....I know, I'm working on it!! The hardest part for me is concentrating on only using the correct muscles (mind/muscle connection) and not recruiting my back or upper abdomen to do the work (or my traps!!🙄🤣) causing a pike motion each rep, drawing my head down and using my bodyweight.🤦‍♀️ ▫️ Give it a go and tag me in your videos👀 🙏Thanks @rhymen for the inspiration 🙌 ▫️ #gymnasticsdrills #calisthenics #stalderleglifts #legseleven #leglifts #stalder #straddle #hipflexors #hipflexorstrength #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #mindsetrxd #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #stayathome #covid19 #lockdown #lockdowntraining #Lsit #yogablocks #iamnotagymnast (at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_602gVHB1q/?igshid=smjaho3bdc0z

🍮🍪 Who says you can't have dessert when you're "dieting"!?!🤷‍♀️ ▫️ 🤔 I hear people say things like "I need to be good" or "no bad foods until..." Classifying foods as good/bad develops negative relationships with food and can distort your view of your eating long term🚫 ▫️ 🤔 Being mindful about what you eat is huge, what you eat and how you eat it. This for example is my #treatnotcheat. I know in an evening I'll often crave something sweet and have found myself longing for a dessert or pudding to finish off my meal🤤 ▫️ 🍪 So here's my compromise, sugar free biscuits with @musclemoosehq peanut butter mousse. Sweet and treat enough to satiate my cravings without breaking off my nutrition plan, sticking within my macros and daily calories. This is a treat, doesn't happen every day! I like to allow for something like this once or twice a week so I don't feel restricted and pushed to rebel and sabotage my work to date🤯 ▫️ 🧠 Understanding yourself and putting in place solutions like this really help set you up for success, not failure💡 ▫️ Need help with your diet and macros? 🍴@box_nutrition ▫️ Want to know how to stop self sabotage?🧠@mindsetrxdnutrition ▫️ #mindset #nutrition #dietdoesntmeandeprived #eattotrain #diet #nutritioncoaching #boxsquad #boxnutrition #feedmyfitness #teambraingains #mindsetrxd #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #biscuits #dessert #pudding #mindfulness #aimup (at Stay at Home and Keep Positive) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kR1mqnIBM/?igshid=glz824ubpav6

🧘‍♀️🤸‍♀️Wake up and move! ▫️ 🧘‍♀️📙 Anyone having followed me for a while will know I wake up at the crack of dawn (pure habit, don't even need to set an alarm!🤷‍♀️) meditate then journal. For the last week and a half I've used my extra time gained, due to the lack of commute, to add a new practice into my morning routine.....yoga! ▫️ 🤸‍♀️ Now, I've always known that the additional mobility work would help with my fitness and general day to day movement (or lack there of with a desk job) but I've always found a reason to not do this one specifically. Mainly as I had dabbled before and felt clumsy and lacked finesse like many of the other ladies in classes. But now there are no classes and a wealth of amazing on line resources to use. So I'm on it! ▫️ ⬇️🐕 I've been using the @downdogapp, you've probably seen it in my story, a few of you have already got involved which I'm LOVING!!❤🙌 It's really easy to follow, not patronising in the slightest and fully customisable to your needs. I've put in extra chest and shoulder stretches, plus worked on hip openers as I'm notoriously tight.....*insert lewd double entendre here*🤣 ▫️ 🤨 Anyhoooo, it's free until the end of May and if you haven't tried yoga before it's a great little introduction, give it a try! ▫️ #yoga #downdog #downdogapp #lockdowntraining #covid19 #lockdown #stayathome #mobility #mobilityflow #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #mindsetrxd #mindset #buildingabetterme #createyourownreality #neversettle #trynewthings #aimup #getafterit #betheexample (at Stay at Home and Keep Positive) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_E8EF7nslY/?igshid=1a8qlcq3b7vzh
