TAKE ME BACK to the surf shack with my favourite workout buddy . And one extra from @edenprojectcornwall, because I was dropping downdogs everywhere and Marnie always loves an opportunity to move with mama! Looking forward to seeing some more of my favourite double acts at #strongertogether later! Sporting @sweatybetty mum & tot twin leggings 🤩.

THE FUTURE YOU PAINT in your mind’s eye is more than your vision, it’s your direction. Choose bold colours. Make confident strokes. Frame it in the everyday actions that take you closer. * Missing this view @bedruthanhotel, but I’m digging deep and returning to a few months of serious BPD (business & personal development) that I hope helps me paint a future which compels me to dive in the way this window does . What’s your go-to personal development resource when you need to move forward and get excited about the future? #books #coaching #exercise #yoga #meditation #journalling #counselling ??? I would love to know what helped you choose your direction !

THIRSTY? Lapping up the waves after a spontaneous 5K along the Cornish coast while the sun out-witted the forecast ☔️. If I lived here I would definitely take up trail running and start a run photography club like ZD’s character in Yes Man . Another reason my page-turning has been limited, but this was without a doubt worth it 🤩. Also added an uphill sprint to save a dog from the cliff’s edge. The closest I’ve ever felt to a hero... and the closest I’ve come to a heart attack . #caninerescue #goodsamaritan #deedoftheday

ME: I really need a staycation so I have time to switch off, read a book, get enlightened... ALSO ME: Oh wait, toddlers need you just as much away from home. Pages read: 18. Memories made: worth it.

PREGNANCY IS THE ULTIMATE ENDURANCE ACTIVITY - so says Herman Pontzer, one of the researchers on a newly released study identifying maximum energy expenditure as the limit of elite endurance athleticism. The study assessed BMR stats from Tour de France cyclists, ultra runners, triathletes and pregnant & breastfeeding women, and found they shared one important thing in common: their total energy expenditure plateaued at 2.5X their BMR in order to preserve their own muscle mass and fat stores for survival. While events like marathon races will spike output up to 16X BMR (respect ), the body under any extended athletic activity will cap around 2.5X after 20 days. Ie, for performance to remain sustainable, the intensity will be necessarily limited. As an interesting peripheral result, pregnant and breastfeeding women sustain around 2.2X their BMR, just under the maximum sustainable limit for elite athletes... if you breastfeed for 6 months, that makes you an elite athlete for circa 448 days! * What this research highlights is A) how bloody brilliant the pre and post natal body is and B) how important it is to prioritise both adequate conditioning and rest as expecting and new mothers. CONDITIONING to prime the body for performance (ie, existing as a pregnant woman 🤪), pre-hab the body against injury or muscular imbalance, and optimise physical recovery. REST to consolidate your good work, repair your body of cellular strain and invite ease where there is repeated effort. Probably the most exciting and compelling scientific motivation I’ve seen to prioritise maternal fitness! #mindbodybump * Source in comments
