Tonight I really didn’t want to go. 🥶⚽️
It was cold. It was getting dark. It was raining.
And after a long day, dragging myself out to football training was definitely not at the top of my list.
But I went.
And honestly? I laughed my way through it. 😂
I started playing women’s football just a few months ago — completely new to me, in my 40s, and very firmly outside my comfort zone.
I’m not particularly good. I’m still learning. I still have absolutely no idea what I’m doing half the time. 😂
But I LOVE it.
And that’s the bit I want to remind women about…
You don’t have to wait until you’re fitter, stronger, more confident or “good enough” to try something new.
You’re allowed to be a beginner.
You’re allowed to feel uncomfortable.
You’re allowed to be rubbish at something and still have the BEST time doing it.
Because fitness in midlife isn’t just about changing your body.
It’s about building a body and a mindset that lets you say:
“Why not?”
Try the class.
Join the team.
Lift the weights.
Run the race.
Learn something completely new.
Get out of your comfort zone.
Have a laugh.
And keep surprising yourself. 🧡
That’s what I want Impact Fitness to be about — helping women feel strong, capable and confident enough to LIVE their lives, not just work on their bodies.
