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…

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.

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…
For me, going to training is going to work. I am in a fortunate position; and I’ve been working towards this for 17 years! Obviously, I have other ‘work’ in KimFit and I thought I could share some of my workout essentials with readers. So if you’re wondering how I keep my body in one piece training five days a week 8am-3pm read on; I’ll share my secrets! I am pretty routined and rely heavily on the products below to…
Hello! How are you? I’ve been wanting to sit down and explain where Get Real with Kimberley has all come from. What drives and influences me in my sport, how I got here and why I have such an interest in health and fitness. So here goes… Let’s go back to the start. When I was a kid I was very active. But as a fussy eater had a very beige diet; you know, waffles, fishfingers, nuggets etc. I always…
