Ever bought a Biophotonic scanner on Insta to rip off your clients? Me neither, I rather prep some veg! Let me explain: . . I was contacted by a lady on Instagram this weekend. She tried to sell me a Biophotonic scanner, I then tried to sell her some educational coaching with me in return. As you do. . . . Do you know what a Biophotonic scanner is? Looks fancy! You could fool me if I wouldn't hold several university degrees and know how to do research. And by research I mean proper, adult research. Not the thing where you trust the Biophotonic scanner lady when she shows you 'evidence' on how great the Biophotonic scanner is. Anyhow. . . . You hold your hand against a portable scanner. It measures carotenoid levels in your skin. So far, so good. Carotenoids are antioxidants found in fruits and veg. Many research studies concluded that a correlation between increased consumption of antioxidants in fruits and veg and a lower risk of many diseases very likely exists. In other words, you want to have high antioxidant levels. . . . The scanner tells you your skin carotenoid score - meaning, it can tell you how much fruit and veg you eat. Absolutely ground breaking, right! However, there is little convincing evidence that the antioxidant levels of your skin correlate to that of your entire body. And I'm afraid this is only the tip of the iceberg. . . . Your score is too low? Guess what, the smart entrepreneur who kindly provides you with your FREE scan (because they of course care about your health) has JUST the right supplement for you to increase your antioxidant levels! Sales point? Taking their supplements will decrease your risk of many diseases. Scanner companies have previously been sued over this statement as they have no scientific evidence to make this claim. Just FYI. . . . You know what I'd rather do than use a Biophotonic scanner to sell expensive supplements to my clients? Tell them to eat some fruit and vegetables. A balanced diet is literally all it takes. . . . This is confirmed by clinical trials. Done over decades. On millions of participants. . . . So don’t sell shitty supplements, educate people and let’s eat FOOD!

My reaction to client check-ins saying ‘I let myself down’ ☹️ . . . I hope my face caught your attention enough to read the whole caption 💁🏻‍♀️ . . . Because, don’t we all sometimes feel like we let ourselves down? Be honest?! And your mindset can keep you out of the gym and mess up your food more than a busy life can. Fact! . . . However short you believe you fell of your daily/weekly goals, always remember: YOU ARE NOT LETTING YOURSELF DOWN! This is what I said to my Lift and Learn group after finishing their check-ins this evening: . . . You know who lets themselves down? People who are not actively making an effort to change their habits. People who ignore their health. Who are not even making the slightest EFFORT to become fitter, healthier and happier. Every single one of you is working their butt off to make this work and fit some exercise, better nutrition and self care into your busy schedules. Don't you say to me ever again you are letting yourself down. . . . As long as you genuinely try your best, every single day, and you can at the end of the day honestly say that YES, I have done everything I could today, and although I fell short on some goals I have given it my all, YOU HAVE NOT LET YOURSELF DOWN. You have tried core workouts - EXCELLENT! You managed to stick to your calories - BRILLIANT! You filled in your check-in and stayed accountable each day - FABULOUS! . . . You trained this week! Check out that step count! You try to get your sleep in! You evaluate when and where you fell short and try to improve for tomorrow - HELL YES! . . . The fitness game is never about being perfect. It’s about giving it the best you can, right now, every day, and that will eventually get you results. Progress is made amongst all the other crap life throws at you. Always being able to come up for air and trying again and again each day is what counts more than being perfect. . . . So, take home from this weeks check-ins - just by giving it your best effort each day - it is by default impossible for you to let yourself down 💪🏻 . . . Now please let’s take this very self-righteous mindset, and apply it to the upcoming week to smash some goals 💪🏻🥳

Cardio before or after weight training? Let’s discuss 🐥 . . . Spoiler alert: Neither option is optimal. Research suggests that in an ideal world, you get most benefit from cardio and lifting if you do your sessions on different days. Alternatively, go to the gym twice a day with at least 6-8 hours and a few meals in between sessions. . . . If you need to get everything done in one go, schedule your cardio AFTER your lifting session. . . . Research showed that individuals who trained cardio immediately before lifting didn’t perform as well during weight training compared with individuals who lifted first and then did cardio. . . . If you’re interested in this topic send me a message and I’ll get back to you with the unlisted YouTube link to a video where I discuss different scientific papers and research studies on when to schedule your cardio in relation to weight training in more depth 🤓💪🏻 . . . Until then, this is the take home message we (🙋🏻‍♀️,🐥,🐥) concluded is a helpful guideline for the general population aiming to make the most out of their time in the gym 🤗 . . #determination #progress #motivation #bodytransformation #weightloss #physique #mindfulness #gym #girlswholift #exercise #fitness #workout #gymtime #muscles #girlswithmuscle #fitgirls #fit #lifting #fitspo #strong #girlswholift #instafit #stronggirls #progress #nutrition #coach #personaltrainer #pt #happiness #powerlifting

Still not over how cool it was to train at @powerfitvantaa this weekend 🤩 . . . Definitely going to be back at bodybuilding gyms more regularly again, the atmosphere is just inspiring 💪🏻🔥💣 . . . Not posted any posing or physique updates in over a year, just been chipping away quietly where and when I could. I care more about how I feel, rather than how lean or not lean I am at the moment. . . . It’s awesome to be super lean, but to me it’s more important to sleep well, be happy, have a healthy relationship with food, have energy to grow my business, spare a smile for a stranger, and be an overall pleasant and supportive person to be around for loved ones 🥰 . . . Which doesn’t mean that I’m aiming to stop creating shapes. Never. I enjoy this game far too much. Just at my very own pace 💆🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . #mindfulness #mindset #goals #positivity #strength #success #quote #gym #training #strongwomen #happiness #quotes #determination #progress #business #motivation #change #life #happy #bodytransformation #weightloss #physique #exercise #fitness #work #dream #fitgirls #fit #lifting #strong

Not jealous of her Finnish home gym at all 🤥🙃 @nea_carissa . . . Spent this weekend visiting my online (during term time Dundee-based) client Nea in Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮 . . . Awesome gym sessions, even better food, lots of exploring, spontaneous swims in the sea, Finnish sauna, and beautiful weather ☀️ . . . Kiitos for making me feel at ease in your city 🥰 (I may however learn some more Finnish before my next visit! 🤐😂🙈) . . . Miss you already, and can’t wait to have you back in Bonnie Scotland in September 💕 . . . . . #clientappreciation #determination #progress #results #motivation #transformation #bodytransformation #physique #mindfulness #gym #exercise #fitness #workout #gymtime #muscles #fit #lifting #happy #strong #instafit #nutrition #coach #personaltrainer #pt #happiness #powerlifting #flex #progressnotperfection #progresspic #study

Helsinki - Day 1 ✅ Kiitos for new shorts 🙋🏻‍♀️🇫🇮 #failedminimalism

Greetings from Finland ✈️💆🏻‍♀️🇫🇮 #doratheexplorer

FRIYAY MOOD ✈️😎☀️ . . . The naked truth is this: My AMB business was founded exactly nine months ago, as I handed in my resignation to my full-time work in respiratory research. . . . My first clients signed up with me straight away in September last year. I was fully booked for 1:1 PT by November. I fought my way off gym floor shift and became a rent PT in March this year (if you’re familiar with Puregym you know what I’m on about!). I started seriously expanding my 1:1 online services right after, and my first group coaching programme launched on 1st June. . . . My Dundee-based online clients train in Puregym, ISE, DW Fitness, DC Thomson, The Gym Group, David Lloyd’s, Xercise4less and St. Andrews uni. Some of these said they had no work for me when I first enquired regarding 1:1 PT opportunities. No big deal, I employed myself 💁🏻‍♀️ . . . I currently work with online clients in Australia, Hong Kong, UAE, Finland, Norway, Germany, France, UK and the US. If you would’ve told me this nine months ago I would’ve said you’re delusional. . . . I will NEVER take my business and my clients for granted, and I will always work like a lunatic as if someone is working even harder to take it all away from me. Call me a workaholic; I stopped caring about what other people call me a long time ago. I call myself beyond blessed, and genuinely happy with what I do 🤓 . . . What have I done differently to others? I give a shit about my clients. I know more about them than most of their friends. I created a community. I have knowledge and provide value. Continuously. I keep accumulating knowledge. I have rarely met anyone in my life that beats me when it comes to work ethic. I‘m not afraid of change, and I’m not afraid to be uncomfortable. I have goals and I have a plan. . . . PS it’s ok to blow your own trumpet, when you can back it up 🎺 . . . What have you done in the past nine months? I’ve set myself on fire and taken risks and hits like never before to build my dream. . . . Watch. This. Space. 🔥

My Lift and Learn online coaching course launched this weekend 🤩🙌🏼 . . . We are a diverse group spanning time zones from Australia and Hong Kong to the US, with one common goal: Learning as much about training and nutrition as possible in eight weeks, in a supportive community. . . . I teach Lift and Learn like a distance learning module at uni/college/grad school, and feedback so far has been amazing. . . . Funny that when you put your absolute everything into a project, the value you can provide is absolutely enormous. . . . I’ve had requests to join Lift and Learn after the launch on 1st June already, and decided to run a second round of the programme - starting 1st August for eight consecutive weeks 😀🙌🏼 . . . Get in touch now to secure your space (each course limited to 20 spaces only) and lock in your early bird discount to get lifting and learning with me in August 🤩💪🏻 . . . Until then, follow my current lifters and learners on their journey on here and become inspired to take your own fitness to the next level 🥳 . . . Interested in any of the YouTube learning content? Give me a message and I’ll send you the unlisted link 🤗 . . . . . . #determination #progress #motivation #bodytransformation #weightloss #physique #mindfulness #gym #girlswholift #exercise #fitness #workout #gymtime #muscles #girlswithmuscle #fitgirls #fit #lifting #fitspo #strong #girlswholift #instafit #stronggirls #progress #nutrition #coach #personaltrainer #pt #happiness #bodybuilding
