Absolutely! The Self-Improvement Project is designed to be much more than just a weight-loss program. It's about holistic self-improvement that encompasses your entire well-being. Here's why The Self-Improvement Project can be a great fit for you, even if weight loss isn't your primary goal: Personalised Goals: We focus on your unique goals, whether it's building strength, improving endurance,increasing energy levels, managing stress, or simply feeling better overall.

Calorie tracking can be a valuable tool, but at The Self-Improvement Project, we understand it's not for everyone. Here's how we approach it: Focus on Goals: We prioritise your overall goals and preferences. If weight loss is your primary focus, calorie tracking can be a great teaching tool. But if your goals are more about building strength, improving energy, or creating healthy habits, then meticulous calorie tracking might not be necessary. Personalised Approach: We discuss your comfort level with tracking. We can offer guidance on mindful eating, portion control, and making healthy choices without needing specific calorie counts. Data-Driven Adjustments: If you do choose to track calories initially, we'll see how your body responds to the recommended targets and depending on how this feels for you - this could eventually lead to a more intuitive approach to eating without needing to track your calories, which is the end goal for our clients. Focus on Sustainability: Our goal is to help you develop sustainable, healthy habits. While calorie tracking can be informative, we don't want it to become a source of stress or hinder your enjoyment of food. We'll work with you to find the approach that best suits your needs and preferences. Whether you choose to track calories or not, we'll provide the tools and support you need to achieve your goals and develop a healthy relationship with food.

Absolutely! We understand the importance of staying active during pregnancy, and many women find exercise to be a great way to stay healthy and feel their best. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know: Doctor's Clearance is Key: While exercise during pregnancy is generally safe for most, it's crucial to get clearance from your GP (General Practitioner) before starting any new program. This ensures your doctor is aware of your specific situation and can advise on the most suitable exercises. Women's Health Expertise: We're fortunate to have Chloe, a women's health physiotherapist, as part of our Self-Improvement Project. If you have any questions or concerns related to exercise during pregnancy, Chloe would be happy to provide guidance and support. Listen to Your Body: Even with doctor's approval, remember to listen to your body. Pregnancy is a unique experience for everyone, and your fitness needs may change throughout. Start with gentle exercises, especially if you weren't training before pregnancy, and gradually increase intensity as you feel comfortable. Community Forum: Connecting with other expecting mothers in our community forum can be a great source of support and motivation. We encourage you to stay active during pregnancy, but prioritise safety by consulting your doctor and taking advantage of the resources we offer!

I just had a baby. Can I join? Congratulations on your new arrival! We understand the excitement of getting back into fitness after childbirth. Here's a breakdown on restarting exercise after having a baby: Recovery Takes Time: Most new parents should wait around 12 weeks before resuming exercise but at a minimum we would require 6 weeks post-partum your doctor's clearance. Your body has undergone a significant change, and it needs time to heal and recover. Doctor's Clearance is Crucial: Before starting any program, get clearance from your doctor or women's health physiotherapist. They can assess your recovery progress, including things like abdominal separation and pelvic floor function. This ensures a safe and effective return to exercise. There are so many resources that Chloe has put together to ensure that you are aware of the things to pay attention to when returning to exercise Listen to Your Body: As mentioned above, it is so important to prioritise listening to your body. Pregnancy and childbirth change your body, so your fitness needs will likely be different. Start slow, with gentle exercises, and gradually increase intensity as you feel comfortable. Manage Expectations: Be kind to yourself! Your body will not be exactly the same as it was before pregnancy.Embrace these changes and focus on meeting your body where it's at now.
