Do you find it hard to switch off? Constantly thinking about your to-do list? Always striving to do that bit more? Guilty. I do. My head is constantly buzzing. Constantly. What do I need to do to be ready for training tomorrow? What posts do I need to schedule for KimFit? When can I work on my sponsor proposal? How am I going to get clients for KimFit? How am I going to afford a, b, c? The problem here…
I saw this meme a while back and it literally sums up my whole attitude to the fitness industry so perfectly I had to use it. I, of course am the fairy godmother in this meme. Poor cinderella represents the hundreds (thousands probably) of girls that believe there is a quick fix to getting the body they want. IT MAKES ME SO MAD. Honestly, people ask me all the time what is my secret? Train, six days a week for…
I saw this on Instagram (@kimfitbath) and instantly LOVED it! It is so so easy to focus on areas of improvement whether that be personality, looks, career etc etc but how often do you stop, take stock and actually identify things you LIKE about yourself!!? Plus it’s Valentine’s Day (or it was when I wrote this blog) so it’s the perfect excuse to spread the love! ❣ It’s great to strive to improve but I know that I am always…
This is a blog about the importance of rest and recovery. I wrote it last year on holiday … I’ve just taken my first holiday abroad in six years…. I know what you’re all thinking “she’s on a plane every other weekend, six years! Lies.” 😂😂 Yes, I’m a frequent traveller. Yes I have also had time off from training in the past six years. But training camps (even warm warm weather athletic ones) do not count as holidays. Getting on…
GUEST BLOG ALERT! Get to know me better, courtesy of James, my boyfriend! I’ve added notes in italics! 1. Kims school nickname was “Toot”…maybe best not to ask. Charlotte, Emma, Lauren… there is no need to comment. 2. Kim is a marmite fiend. I take marmite away with me on circuit over the winter. #failtopreparepreparetofail 3. Kim knows all the dance routines to the S Club 7 hits. And what… 4. Despite being sporty, Kim does not deem Sports Direct as an…
Hi! So in part 1 I hopefully provided some basic nutrition education which has maybe changed the way you perceive your diet. I guess what I was trying to get across the eating is good and food is good, you just need to know what to pick. Healthy is not a size 6, 8, 10 etc. Health is … ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.’ Thanks World Health…
First things first. We eat to fuel our bodies for life. Depriving yourself of certain foods or restricting food intake is NOT I repeat NOT sustainable and will not lead to long term wellness. Likewise, skinny teas, fat loss pills/supplements will not result in good health. Your diet (what you eat) should be consistent day in day out more or less. Because that’s the best way to maintain and achieve healthy. Of course, consistently eating pizza or MacDonalds every day…
Post core #squad struggles! Before I moved to Bath I trained for skeleton solo. Not because that is what I prefer but because I was on a programme that only I was doing. Since starting skeleton I gradually moved away from training with my lovely jumps group in Edinburgh simply because we weren’t doing the same work or even structure anymore and I missed it a lot. My training group were split up across the country; all of us still…
Training can seem pretty complicated can’t it? Here at KimFit I like to empower, energise and educate clients as well as simplify health and fitness. So read on to better understand some of the core principles of training that I employ with all my clients. Specificity – this just means train in a way that gets you closer to your goals. For example if you want to run a marathon the majority of your time training should be focussed towards…
Getting started is one the most difficult things when you make a change. Are you always thinking I’d like to try yoga, running, HITT, spin etc. but never quite get round to going to a class? Do you scroll wistfully through Insta thinking how amazing those dishes of food look but never actually make them? Or are you simply a bit fed up and demotivated with life and want to change it? If so, then this easy guide to getting…
