Success Mindset
I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.

Abs-olutely No Regrets
Your core does a lot more than make you look good in a T-shirt. It keeps you steady, supports your back, and makes everything from standing up straight to tying your shoes that bit easier. Basically, it’s your body’s powerhouse - and it deserves a little attention.
The good news? You don’t need a gym, a mat full of fancy equipment, or endless sit-ups to build strength. This 10-minute beginner core workout on YouTube is short and simple.
You’ll work through moves like planks, crunches, and glute bridges (yes, your bum gets involved too). And there’s a bonus: two trainers show you both the easy and more challenging versions, so you can pick your level and still feel like a champ.
Ten minutes. No gear. No excuses.

Meet the Badass Gran!
Ouch, I fear this amazing human puts a few of us in the shade. Meet Celia Duff, aka Badass Gran, who is a double world HYROX champion at aged 70! A well-earned alias, that's for sure.
If you've not heard of HYROX, it's a fitness trend that involves competing around 8km of running and eight functional workout stations, including rowing, sandbag lunges and sled pull. So, pretty hardcore 💪 Celia started competing aged 68, encouraged by her HYROX-keen daughter, and says it's changed her life. "I'm fitter and stronger than ever" she told Women's Health. "I walk taller both physically and mentally... I’m proud to show that ordinary people can do extraordinary things..."
Did you know that only around 6% of people meet the full activity guidelines for adults with most people coming up short on the the amount of strength training we should be doing? We should be doing strengthening activities that work all the major muscle groups at least twice a week.
Let's all try to be a Badass Gran/Pa/Mother/Father/Daughter/Son!
