I Feel Comfortable To Be Back In My Togs Again
I have always been active by going rock climbing, abseiling, riding my bike etc however, I dislocated my shoulder twice in the last two years and I dislocated my thumb resulting in the need for surgery. Because of my shoulder injury and now my thumb injury I was unable to keep up my active lifestyle and began to enjoy comfort food and sitting on the couch watching movies to help with the pain. I began to notice that I was feeling unhappy within myself and did not like what I saw in the mirror. My mum was already training with Kieran and encouraged me to contact him to start working with him.
Since I have started to train with Kieran I have re-woken my energy levels and I love to get out and be active again. Kieran has helped me work out what my body can handle, and I have become stronger physically and mentally, instead of saying I can’t do this, I now get excited about my sessions with Kieran.
Now instead of coming home and sitting in front of the television, I like to take my dog for a walk or do something active. I even got up early for boot camp and the running group too! Importantly, Kieran has worked with me to recognise my pain barriers and how I can safely exercise so will achieve results without risking my safety and hurting myself.
I love how Kieran mixes up the training so you do not have to do the same boring thing that you would do at the gym every time. I also like how Kieran uses what is around as part of the training session, as it can teach you what you can do on your own.
I have learnt if I put my mind to it I can do anything. I feel great, I love thinking of new fun outdoor things I can do with my loved ones, I am starting to get back into rock climbing again and have started to take up surfing now that I've lost weight and feel comfortable to be back in my togs again.
