💗My marathon journey💗 “You are never too

💗My marathon journey💗

“You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream” C.S. Lewis

A year ago I took up running. Yesterday I completed my first marathon @londonmarathon in 4:20 a most humbling amazing experience.

A reminder that it’s never too late + you are never too old to set a goal!

I honestly had a lot of self doubt along the way. 48, perimenopausal, dodgy right knee + with family life + work to juggle I knew it would be hard!! But it was consistency + baby steps that got me there - the same applies to whatever you want to achieve. 💗

Well done to everyone who ran, who supported, who messaged, who shouted my name + who sponsored my amazing charity @samwestfoundation
Thank you! 💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻

I hope this perhaps offers you a little inspo to maybe try something new or set another goal?! Let me know!! 💗

💙10 Minute Bitesize Low Impact Workout 💙 It

💙10 Minute Bitesize Low Impact Workout 💙

It’s amazing how you can still get the heart rate up + work the cardiovascular system without jumping around.

Whilst a little plyometrics work (jumpy stuff) is good for bone health, we don’t want to be continually hammering the joints during Perimenopause. I have found these exercises brilliant whilst I have been marathon training - great to strengthen the legs, get the pulse up but keeping it low impact.

💙Lunge to lift (20 secs each side)
💙Narrow squat reach
💙Crab walks
💙Half jacks
💙 Curtsy squats

💡 Watch your knees!! Make sure they are straight + track in line with the toes to avoid stress or injury!

Try x40 secs of each exercise x2 sets for a little low impact blast.

Do you find exercises like this easier on the joints? Or do you like a bit of a mix? Share + save for later!! 💙

💕Improve your Push Up💕 Sloooooow it down!!

💕Improve your Push Up💕

Sloooooow it down!!

Practise the lowering, or eccentric part of your push up. Eccentric muscle contractions produce more force than concentric contractions, so practicing the eccentric phase of a push-up will help your muscles get stronger + improve your push up! 💪🏻🎉

You can apply to doing it on your knees or a higher surface such as a kitchen worktop. I count a slow 1,2,3 in my head as I lower down.

How’s your push up? Work in progress? Nearly there?? This will help!! 😍

Save + share with someone who wants to improve their push up! 💕

🖤Test Your Balance!🖤 How’s your balance?

🖤Test Your Balance!🖤

How’s your balance? Is it as good as it used to be?! As we age, our balance can decline. Various factors such as eyes, inner ear + the feedback we receive from our ankles, knees, spine + neck can affect it. As well as hormonal imbalances during Perimenopause!

Exercise can help! Strength training + exercises that practice balance, can hugely slow down deterioration + help maintain our bodies complex balancing systems. It’s a case of use it or lose it!

We do a load of balance work in Fitness Bites - unilateral exercises like single leg deadlifts, lunges, skaters are all great. Building muscle + core work also helps with supporting our skeletal system.

I know you love a challenge!! Try this flamingo functional age test. 🦩

Stand on one leg, arms crossed, eyes closed + see how long you can balance without putting one foot down. ⏰

The balance time equates to your balance based age. Give it a try. What age are you?!

4 secs = 70 years
7 secs = 60 years
9 secs = 50 years
16 secs = 40 years
22 secs = 30/35 years
28 secs = 25/30 years

I’m aiming to remain 25 forever, how about you?! 🤣
