Another Wednesday another leg day. Only problem is my right knee isn't quite right at the moment (keeps going off ever since I did a marathon 2019) Been to the doctors previously and keep getting told ots just wear and tear from running when I was overweight. Just wondering if anyone else has knee issues and if there are any recommendations of strengthening exercises

I know I might not get in but if I don't then I'll go for a charity place! I know it's a bit crazy, but I really think this is my year!

I managed to walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes this morning without my pulse going crackers or being ill. Biggest win I could have had this week.

So got up did my weekly weigh in scales stayed the same I think to myself why am I bothering with eating healthy and doing exercise then my dad asks are you going to the gym I said yeh dont know why im bothering tho im not losing any weight he said you can clearly see the improvement in you body so dont be silly. So I dragged my arse to the gym just done hour n hlf head still feeling like its a waste of time but im sure il will pass 🙃

To start something new, to make a big decision, to get out of your comfort zone, to get back in the gym...this is it. Do the damn thing! Me being shit at pole is a running joke amongst my aerial friends. It's my standard answer whenever I'm asked. I was asked today, deliberately, so I would be reminded to get tf out of my own way. 😅🙈 The picture attached is from the 1st time I competed in pole. ...it was also the 1st time I'd performed pole in front of people....ever. ...It was in front of professional spicy workers. ...It was less than 6 months after I started pole training. ...I was not at my thinnest or strongest. ...Those shoes fucking terrified me. (7 inches) As a result... ...I fell off the pole during my performance. ...Forgot part of my routine. ... Didn't care because I had an absolute blast. ... & walked out as Regional Champion for my category 🏆 Which led to my 2nd ever pole performance and coming in 3rd in the country...in 9 inch shoes. ...and yes it was harder finding dog collars that would fit people than it was to find friends willing to let me parade them around stage in one. 🤣💜 Being ready is a myth, you're already so much further along than you think. There are people half as good/prepared as you out there killing it with little more than sheer audacity. Start now. 🙏🏼 ...she says after putting off starting to edit her book all day. *But I AM shit at pole though. 😬
