A little update from me! ❤️

I’ve been a bit quieter on here while I’ve been getting to know Poppy and adjusting to life as a mum.

It’s been a huge change, and I’m still finding my feet with it all. And probably will be for a while!

But it’s also given me a new perspective on something I’ve always believed… that looking after yourself isn’t always as straightforward as just knowing what to do.

Sometimes you’re exhausted.
Sometimes your body feels different. Sometimes you’re juggling so much that finding time for yourself feels impossible.

And sometimes you just need someone to help you figure out where to start without making you feel like you’re getting everything wrong.

That’s what I want my little part of Coached by Matthews to be about.

Personalised fitness, Pilates and a realistic approach to women’s health that recognises we’re human beings with complicated lives, not robots who can fit in five workouts a week and eat perfectly every day.

I’ll be sharing more about strength training, Pilates, women’s health, confidence, my own experiences and all the things that can make looking after ourselves feel a little more complicated than it should.

If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve been around for a while, thank you for sticking with me 🥰

Recovering after a c-section is no joke.

Surround yourself with a great support system that reminds you when you’re doing too much 💜

Happy 3rd wedding anniversary to my husband Mike Matthews

Things are looking a little different this year and our lives have changed massively in the last few weeks. I knew Mike would be a good dad but he has honestly been next level.

The birth was not what we wanted and the recovery is looking very different, but his ability to adapt and look after both Poppy and me has been incredible. He didn’t leave our side at the hospital, sleeping in a chair for 3 nights and looking after our baby girl when I couldn’t.

I cannot say thank you enough for his support over the last few weeks. I’m sorry you can’t get as drunk today as you did at our wedding 😆

Thank you for everything you do for me, Poppy and Lola 💜

There can be so much pressure when it comes to health and fitness.

Pressure to do more, be more disciplined, and be perfect. But for most of us, this is completely unrealistic and unnecessary.

You don’t need to be doing everything at 100% all the time to make progress on your goals. You just need to find a way of looking after your health that fits into your life and that you can realistically stick to.

Those small, consistent actions will always take you way further than constantly chasing perfection.

I love reading my client wins!

Wins are different for everyone, but there’s always something so lovely about others noticing your hard work.

Its not about validation from others, but there’s something nice about people complimenting others 💜

I’m a personal trainer and I haven’t trained properly for weeks.

Do I feel guilty about that? Yeah, sometimes.

But right now, my body is heavily pregnant, I’m uncomfortable, I’m dealing with aches and pains, and my priorities are changing by the day.

Could I force myself to train? Probably.

Would that necessarily be the best thing for me right now? No.

I’ve spent years learning that movement is important for physical and mental health, which is absolutely true. But listening to your body is part of being healthy too.

There will be times where you can train hard, make progress and push yourself.

And there will be times where your version of looking after yourself is walking, stretching, resting, eating well and simply getting through the day.

Neither makes you more or less committed to your health.

You don’t lose your fitness mindset just because you aren’t currently training the way you normally would.

Sometimes, knowing when to step back is just as important as knowing when to push yourself 🤍
