Run, run, run 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏾‍♂️ I wrote this little social post for @newbalance and @womenshealthuk to promote running’s feel-good power. Now we’re gym-less and holed up, suddenly more people than ever are lacing up 🎉👍🏽 🏃🏽‍♀️ woohoo! We might be here a while so we got to keep moving people! 🤜🏽🌈👟 nifty animations and production by @chartmp @designbychar @hearststudio 🤜🏽😎 . . #running #quarantine #quarantinelife #runtofeelgood #movementismedicine #runchat #runchatuk #runnersofinstagram #keeprunning #feelgood #positiveenergy #positivevibes #runldn #newbalance #newbalancerunning #brandedcontent #hearststudio #animation #digitalanimation #digitaldesign #fitnessmotivation #fitnesseveryday #keepmoving #dailyrun #runningmotivation #exercisemotivation.
Aaand breathe...😅 I wrote about how traditional yogic practices help to rebuild our connection with the world around us, nature and ourselves. There’s no better time for this 💛 🌱 read it in @bloom_the_magazine latest issue, spring no.5 #getitnow 🤜🏽 illustrations @robertsaeheng 🖊 . . #yoga #bloommagazine #nature #yogainspiration #yogalife #yogapractice #yogaeverywhere #naturelovers #naturelife #connectwithnature #positivevibes #positiveenergy #breathwork #breathworkhealing #meditation #meditationpractice #meditationtips #traditionalyoga #yogastudies #yogaandnature #healthandwellness #mentalwellness #mentalwellbeing #independentmagazine #positiveaction #positivethoughts #inthepress #readthis #recommendedreading
💯 💯 💯 102kg deadlift PB 💥💥💥 I’m not big on powerlifting and I find deadlifts pretty boring 😴 so I rarely do them but coach @nabereu has got me testing some lifts this week post-comp and today was another PB day 🎉🎉🎉- with all the weird and fun faces that come with hitting another new number (@ 55kg bodyweight) 😆🤪😅💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 . . #deadlift #deadliftpb #pb #100kgdeadlift #womenwholift #liftheavy #shelifts #ohmydays #heavymetal #barbellclub #powerlifting #powerfulwomen #instafit #instafitness #royaldockscrossfit #crossfitgirls #crossfitlife #crossfitlifters #deadlifts #deadlifting #deadliftface #fitnessmotivation #fitnesstracking #testingtime #liftingface #stronggirls #strongbody #strongmind
‘The beauty is not in becoming the strongest lifter, it is the learning of valuable life skills that will serve you throughout your entire life. . ‘Look beyond the focus of winning and achieving success and see that the arena of training and competition is one of the finest classrooms somebody can ever have.’ #repost @welift_ 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 #quotes #quoteoftheday #wordsofwisdom . . So true!💥💥💥 - there’s a misconception that you need to be good to compete - you really don’t (not at amateur level anyway!). You just need to put the effort in to train and show up. I’m certainly not the best or strongest lifter but I throw myself out there, see how far I can take it and what I can learn along the way 💫💫💫 . . #lifelessons #sportislife #lifter #motivationmonday #liftingmotivation #liftingweights #weightliftingwomen #weightlifting #weightliftinggirls #qotd #welift #shelifts #crossfitlifters #positivitybreedspositivity #fitnessmotivation #mondaymotivation #regram #medalmonday #medalmonday🏅 #olympiclifting #olympicweightlifting #crossfitgirls #crossflife #fitnessbloggers #womenwholift
No better way to celebrate #internationalwomensday than competing at British Masters Weightlifting - a sport that women weren’t allowed to internationally until 1986 and not at the Olympics until 2000! 😳😱 . . Makes the journey even more worthwhile 🎉 Hopefully will inspire others (women especially!) to aim for mini milestones (in fitness or rest of life) and feel good along the way. It doesn’t have to be perfect, you just have to give it a shot 🤜🏽 . . So happy with my scores today: Snatch: 43 ✅ 45 ✅ 47 ✅ 🔔 Clean & Jerk: 53 ✅ 55 ✅ 57 ❌ Total: 102 🔔 . . Thanks to alllllllll the support crews IRL and online! 🥳🥳🥳 And my superstar coach @nabereu 💥💥💥 . . #happywomensday #olympicweightlifting #olympiclifting #genderequality #womeninsport #womenwholift #shelifts #sheliftsheavy #snatch #cleanandjerk #olylifting #crossfitgirls #crossfitlifters #feelgood #womensupportingwomen #womenempoweringwomen #girlswholift #girlsrock #strongwomen #stronggirls #womenfitness #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #fitnesslife #fitnesslove
#throwback 🤣- to just a few years ago when I was smashing out marathons AND CrossFit.... . Then I focussed my training, sorted out my nutrition and worked on my mind... now super excited to be ONE week away from my third weightlifting meet - British Masters here we come 👊🏽 . Shout out to the coaches and pros for their wise words and inspo along the way 🤩 ... @nabereu @royaldockscrossfit @coach_david_marshall @benbreenchiro @coachdanshowkum @red.beard.1 @sinead.feedfuelperform @londonstrengthtraining @luketyburski ... . Woohoo! . #fitnessjourney #tbt🔙📸 #beforeafter #weightliftingwomen #weightliftingjourney #fitnessgoals #crossfitlife #positivementalattitude #weightliftingmotivation #weightliftingmeet #competitiontime #fitspo #fitspiration #mindset #mindsetchange #mindsettraining #fitnesstransformation #fitnessforlife #crossfitjourney #beforeandafter
