FREE DUMBBELL TRAINING PROGRAM 🔸 I had initially intended to create a TRX program. However, having had issues trying to create TRX instructional videos, I decided to change it to a dumbbell program instead. 🔸 There are now three programs to choose from - bodyweight only, resistance band and dumbbell. To access these programs and instructional videos, click the link in my bio! 🔸 #coronavirus #covid_19 #exercise #fitness #gym #health #home #homeworkout #hometraining #lockdown #lockdown #progressiveoverload #recovery #rest #resistance #running #science #socialdistancing #sportscience #strength #strengthtraining #training #wellbeing
⚠️ LOCKDOWN WORKOUTS ⚠️ 🔸 It's great to see so many people using the lockdown as an opportunity to exercise more regularly and we should certainly be encouraging that. However, it needs to be emphasised that the progress you make in your training should be very gradual. 🔸 If you have not run for years, deciding to immediately start distance running four or five days per week is unwise. Likewise, if you've never done resistance training before, performing high-intensity home workout multiple times per week is not recommended. 🔸 Simply, the body will not be able to cope with the demands that is being place under and as a result, the likelihood of experiencing or developing an injury is much increased. Start small and build up gradually! 🔸 If you've viewed my free programmes you may have noticed a trend. The beginner plans use less training volume than intermediate and advanced. As you progress into the intermediate and advanced plans, the training volume and difficulty begin to increase as the body becomes more accustomed to the exercises. 🔸 You can find these programs and accompanying instructional videos in my bio. 🔸 #coronavirus #covid_19 #exercise #fitness #gym #health #home #homeworkout #hometraining #lockdown #lockdown #progressiveoverload #recovery #rest #resistance #running #science #socialdistancing #sportscience #strength #strengthtraining #training #wellbeingwednesday

OUTDOOR TRAINING SESSIONS 🔸 First outdoor training session today and what a day it was for it ☀️ Jennie and Mary seemed to enjoy themselves... Jarvis the dog perhaps less so. 😆 🔸 It looks like outdoor training is going to be the way forward for many for the next few weeks or months. While today's session was at Harrison Park, one of the best things about it is that I can come to you! 🔸 For those of you working at home, outdoor training will provide a little relief from being stuck indoors all day. If you're interested in booking some outdoor sessions, get in touch. 📬 🔸 #coronavirus #edinburghpt #edinburghcoach #health #fitness #isolation #mentalhealth #mentalhealthedinburgh #personaltraining #personaltrainer #pt #selfisolation #selfhelp #stress #wellbeing #thewellbeingpt

THE IMPACT OF SELF-ISOLATION 🔸 #mentalhealthmonday 🔸 Coronavirus is likely to force many of us to go into self-isolation. While this is an absolute necessity, what impact can it have on our mental health and what can we do to look after our wellbeing through it? 🔸 #anxiety #coronavirus #depression #edinburghpt #edinburghcoach #health #fitness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthedinburgh #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthrecovery #personaltraining #personaltrainer #pt #recovery #rehab #selfcare #selfhelp #suicide #stress #wellbeing #thewellbeingpt
TEN deaths have been confirmed in the UK since the first case of coronavirus was confirmed on February 6th. 🔸 Based on the UK average (17 deaths per day), in the same time period, over FIVE HUNDRED people have died as a result of suicide. 🔸 I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of coronavirus, rather highlight the fact the suicide is a epidemic that is constantly being ignored. 🔸 If we reacted to suicide in the same way that the media, governments, and general public have reacted to the coronavirus, there is no doubt in my mind that suicide numbers would not be so high. 🔸 If you know someone who is going through a tough time, give them your support. If you are feeling suicidal, reach out. You are not alone. 🔸 #anxiety #coach #depression #edinburghpt #edinburghcoach #health #fitness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthedinburgh #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthrecovery #personaltraining #personaltrainer #pt #recovery #rehab #selfcare #selfhelp #suicide #stress #wellbeing #thewellbeingpt

THE WELLBEING PT 🔸 Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand the huge impact that regular exercise has on the mental wellbeing of my clients. 🔸 Having suffered with depression in the past, I am also well aware of the many challenges that relate to poor mental health. 🔸 These experiences gave me the motivation to specialise in mental health and use physical activity as tool to promote mental wellbeing. 🔸 Physical and mental health are often treated separately, yet, they are closely connected. Therefore, I created the Re-Vive programme to bring the two together. 🔸 The goal of the programme is to improve mental wellbeing by promoting regular physical activity and self-help strategies. 🔸 It has helped many people improve their physical and mental health while also giving them the understanding and skills they need to look after their own wellbeing. 🔸 Please get in contact if you'd like to know more about the Re-Vive programme. 🔸 #anxiety #coach #depression #edinburghpt #edinburghcoach #health #fitness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthedinburgh #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthrecovery #personaltraining #personaltrainer #pt #recovery #revive #reviveprogramme #selfcare #selfhelp #selfhelpexercise #stress #wellbeing #thewellbeingpt

When you experience a physical injury, you need time to allow for healing. This period can be frustrating as being injured affects so many aspects of life. Once a certain amount of healing has occurred, you can start the rehab work. This can be uncomfortable and challenging, but gradually you do restore strength and function. 🔸 I think it can be helpful to view your recovery from a mental health illness in a similar way. Having a mental health illness can be debilitating in the same way a physical injury is. 🔸 There are also similarities to be drawn in terms of the recovery process. You may need some time initially to allow for the healing process to start. Once you have restored some degree of function, you can then move onto rehab, and over time, things gradually improve. 🔸 In the same way that a severe physical injury take a longer time to heal, severe mental health issues may take longer to recover from. As frustrating and challenging it may be, you must be patient and give yourself time to recover. 🔸 It took me six years to get to the point where I now feel healthy and well. The process was extremely difficult and there were times where I lost all hope of ever recovering and became extremely frustrated as a result... but eventually I got there. And you can too. Give it time. 🔸 #anxiety #coach #depression #edinburghpt #edinburghcoach #health #fitness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthedinburgh #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthrecovery #personaltraining #personaltrainer #pt #recovery #rehab #selfcare #selfhelp #selfhelpexercise #stress #wellbeing #thewellbeingpt
SPENDING TIME IN NATURE 🔸 #wellbeingwednesday 🔸 I would love to say that the first photo is an accurate description of what it's like being outside in Scotland. However, photo two is probably more accurate. 😬 🔸 Research suggests that spending time in nature has a positive impact on our mental health and mental health illnesses. Combining nature with exercise has also been shown to have a highly profound effect on mental health. 🔸 Often, those who have mental health illnesses isolate themselves and tend to stay within the comforts of their own home consequently missing out on the powerful benefits of being outside. 🔸 If you are someone who struggles with their mental health, look to spend a little bit more time outside, if you can manage. 🔸 If you are supporting someone who is struggling with their mental health, something as simple as inviting them out for a short walk can be very helpful. 🔸 #movement #strength #performance 🔸 #anxiety #coach #depression #edinburghpt #edinburghcoach #greenexercise #health #fitness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthedinburgh #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #nature #personaltraining #personaltrainer #pt #selfcare #selfhelp #selfhelpexercise #stress #wellbeing #thewellbeingpt #walk #walking
