Today was a Good Friday ☀️ #goodfriday #londonzoo #familytime #somanyfirsts

TWO WEEKS!!! Unreal that this lands in just two weeks. Thanks for the sneak peek shares by some early recipients - the first here by @clairemahowe, founder of @figure_fit and mum of 1 + another beauty brewing (and mega-strong FBC client ); the second by my 2nd trimester model mama whose on-set bump has become beautiful baby Ottilie . If you haven’t already pre-ordered, WH Smith is offering the book half price from now until the end of May (discount applies online only). The feedback has been really positive and enthusiastic so I can’t wait to see how the book is received once it’s available to everyone in the UK, US, Canada & Australia . Swipe for the discount code .

RAN OFF THE GRID for an unplanned break from social media. Felt a bit disconnected, so I decided to disconnect. At its best, social media can inspire and connect. At its worst, it can deprive and demote the interactions with the people who are right in front of us. In a world where our network is so much wider than it has ever been before, a common thread I see everywhere is increased loneliness. You can share photos, collaborate on work projects and take an exercise class from a single device, but that device can never embrace you in a hug, its laughing emojis are no replacement for contagious belly laughs, and your on-screen cheerleaders can’t give you a sweaty high five when you achieve a new PB. I believe the handful of people who move you, cherish you and support you in real life will still mean the most when we look back on our lives. Sharing your life is not simply a case of posting the best bits on a grid... it’s about living all the best bits, worst bits and in-between bits as fully as possible with the people you love most. It’s funny... ‘off-grid’ is defined by urban dictionary as ‘life lived without connection’, but occasionally and committedly slipping off the Google/‘Gram/Gmail grid is the first step towards the very opposite. Semantics, yes, but also one of the biggest challenges of our generation.

SCROLL SENSIBLY... When you’re scrolling the ‘gram and something makes you think ‘I didn’t know that’... do you stop to consider that the person posting it may not know it, either? The most important filters you can apply to your social media practice are 1) common sense and 2) science. If it doesn’t make sense, follow your instincts. If the science doesn’t hold, question it seriously... science doesn’t usually lie (unless it’s funded by product-shifting conglomerates, so check that out, too). Postpartum plyometrics peeps, here’s looking at you (whilst wincing and hoping your followers’ newly reorganised organs stay put ).

MY ‘BALANCE’ MEANS remaining flexible about the way I take care of myself, but never compromising my commitment to do so. I know that I can only be focused if I have given my brain space to breathe, and that I can only be strong if I have made time to train, but fixating on a set number or length of sessions is an unhelpful barrier to exercise. In the run-up to my book launch, things are pretty busy, so I’m adapting my training by focusing on lots of compounds that fit multiple movements & benefits into one exercise, so I can get in and get out, without burning out. Here are 3 which create a full body workout you can do in under 30min (inc proper warm up and cool down). 1️⃣ Trap Bar Deadlifts - 8-12 2️⃣ Prone bench ham curls - 10-15 (you may need a buddy to pop the dumbbell in place, otherwise prepare for some wiggling! Keep your hips pressed into the bench so you isolate your glutes & hams and support your back) 3️⃣ Dumbbell squat to low row 10-15 ⏱ 5 rounds
