In a world that constantly demands our attention and energy, finding the time to focus on our own wellbeing often takes a back seat. As women and mothers, we are natural nurturers, putting the needs of our loved ones ahead of our own. However, in this selfless pursuit, we often overlook the incredible benefits that come with prioritising our physical and mental health. One thing I believe that has the potential to completely transform and reshape anyone’s life is weight training.
INNER STRENGTH
Let’s be honest, the term ‘weight training’ might conjure up images of bulging muscles and intimidating gym equipment, but I’m here to reassure you that weight training is not just about building biceps or chiselled abs. It’s about tapping into your inner strength, enhancing your overall wellbeing and gaining the confidence to take on life’s challenges with renewed vigour.
As a former professional athlete and a personal trainer, I understand the unique demands that women face. We juggle multiple roles, tackle diverse responsibilities and often put ourselves last. It’s time to flip the script and recognise that investing in our own health is not selfish - it’s a vital step toward becoming the best versions of ourselves for our families and, most importantly, for our own selves.
