Janet Regan – Success Story
Have A Read Of Janet's Fantastic Story.....
In Summer 2014, I turned 39. I was at least a stone overweight and, food and fitness wise, was in the worst shape of my adult life.
It hadn’t always been that way. In my twenties, I loved being fit. The feeling of having done a hard workout and the rewards you got from it was good. I pushed my body to its limits, just to see what it could do. I kick-boxed, ran marathons, cycled and swam, safe in the knowledge that my body was amazing, and could do whatever I pushed it to do.
My thirties changed all that though. I had two kids, and two long, hard labours both of which ended in C-Sections. I felt that my body was no longer amazing. It had let me down when I needed it most, and I no longer treated it with the respect it deserved. For a long time after my second son was born, I didn’t feel that I was up to physical exercise. I was scared to push my body, and felt it would only let me down again, so I stopped trying.
I ate crap and I didn’t exercise, and slowly but surely, the lack of fitness started to take its toll. I got one minor, niggly illness after another. I had no energy to run after my kids and not much enthusiasm for anything anymore.
Then, with my 40th birthday looming on the horizon, I joined Fitness Formation, as a 40th birthday present to myself. I am now 40 and can confirm that, though it may not (yet) be quite the body I had in my twenties, I believe that my body is amazing again.
Last year, I took part in a 10km obstacle race. I ran a 10km road race in my fastest ever time. I walked the ‘Three Peaks’ as part of my birthday celebrations, and I ran the super-hilly Langdale Half Marathon.
Nobody at FF told me to do these things. They would never push anyone to do anything they didn’t want to do. Their contribution was just to steadily and quietly believe in me, to coach me, to push me to places I thought I could no longer go and, to give me my energy, enthusiasm and self-belief back.
I simply cannot think of a better 40th birthday present than that.
