💧 Hydration Check! 💧
With summer on our doorstep, staying hydrated is key to keeping cool and energized. Remember, it’s not just about water—electrolytes play a vital role, too! They help maintain energy, muscle function, and hydration levels, especially as you sweat more in the heat. 🌞
Pro Tip: Add electrolyte-rich foods like bananas, oranges, or a pinch of sea salt to your water to support your body even more. Let’s keep those hydration levels up and stay summer-strong! 💪🌊

Remember why you started? 🤔
Digging deep and having a clear understanding of our ‘why’ can be the game changer. It’s reminding ourselves why we started on this journey, on the deepest level of our values, beliefs and emotions and why we aren’t giving up.💗
Our ‘why’ is not simply to ‘lose weight’ or ‘feel healthier’. It’s deeper than that. It’s the ‘I want to lose weight so I can fit into that little red dress that’s been sitting in my cupboard for over a year and wear it to our Christmas party and feel sexy AF!’💃
For me, when I was on the journey of studying for my certification, there were plenty of road trips to and from class spent contemplating and reminding myself why I was on this journey. My why - I am passionate about health and fitness and it brings me joy being able to help someone become a better version of themselves. To know what it’s like to go from struggling, to building confidence and achieving goals and to help and empower people on this rewarding journey achieve their goals.👏🏻
So what’s your WHY?
Let’s inspire each other on this journey! 🙌🏻💫
