Mixing It Up: Finding Strength in a Different Kind of Training

Since being in the UK, my usual routine of functional fitness has been swapped for something a little different - more running. I’ve been slowly building up my distance and time on my feet. The result? Sore hips, tired legs… but also sunshine, fresh air and a surprising amount of mental clarity.

It’s been a good reminder that sometimes, changing things up in your training is exactly what your body and mind need. Running has given me the chance to reset, refocus and enjoy movement in a different way - not chasing a barbell or the clock but simply putting one foot in front of the other💥

I’ll admit, I’m a little curious about what this will mean for my strength levels when I get back under the barbell but I’m confident the foundation of fitness we build at Fortis is adaptable. Strength isn’t just about what you can lift - it’s about resilience, endurance and finding joy in the process 💪

So, whether it’s swapping your usual weights session for a walk, a swim or even a stretch in the sun don’t be afraid to mix it up. Your body will thank you for the variety and your mind might just feel a little lighter too!!
