<h2><b>2 Important Lessons About Yourself And How You Train</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you ever wish you had a body part like someone, Arnold’s biceps perhaps? Or Gerrard's abs in the film ‘300’? The part of your body you like the least can be a subconscious or conscious focal point in our self critique and we can be so hard on ourselves!</span>

In my younger years Christie Brinkley was my idol....(yes that was a while ago for those who have never heard of her!).....or rather I fantasised about having legs like hers; long, slim, THE inner thigh ‘gap’, slender ankles and smooth soft skin. My own? Well, they were just HUGE, in my eyes!

Now I was a girl who never wore dresses or skirts because of my ‘big’ legs. I was a girl who didn’t feel feminine because of the size of my legs. In my head, my legs weren’t the ‘norm’.

What I hadn’t realised was the legs I had were actually athletic and muscular, and in my younger years, this was much more unique than it is today. Having begun to lift weights in my early 20’s this meant my ‘dancer’ legs developed further with even more muscular curves.

<span style="font-weight: 400;">I spent 15 years distance running with much of my time in running pants or running tights. What genuinely stunned me was the amount of attention my legs would get, and I mean from all sorts of people!</span>

<h3><b>Lesson No 1 - You Cannot Change Your Genetic Make-Up</b></h3>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The first important lesson I learned quite early on was that you cannot change your genetic makeup, you certainly cannot easily change your basic shape (ask any drug-free bodybuilder), in fact, no one can have Christie Brinkley legs except for Christie Brinkley!! </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, if you haven't ever heard of her, here she is.</span>

&nbsp;

You are YOU! Be the best version of YOU!

<h3><b>Lesson No 2 - Stop Focusing On Aesthetics</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The second lesson I learned was using health, fitness and wellness for goal setting over aesthetics. This, in my opinion, gives a far higher chance to feel successful and, chances are, the aesthetics follow anyway. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The profound moment for me was when I received a ‘backhanded’ compliment from a male friend, who is also a football fan. “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wow, you have legs like Stuart Pearce</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">!” “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">No</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">..” I said “ …</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">these are MY legs</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">”.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the same for your Intrinsic Biomechanics - you have what you have and for some there is a higher risk of injury simply due to genetic makeup - hypermobility, femoral anteversion, structural asymmetries etc. So it is vital we look after what we have, make it stronger, train smarter and love our differences.</span>

&nbsp;
<h3><b>The Problem</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Identifying what is happening naturally and what is dysfunction within your client's body/movement is paramount to us being able to prescribe the right exercises, at the right time, for the right person and their goal.</span>
