Rachel Law Fitness Description
With a passion for making women look and feel their best, I offer a bespoke one-to-one personal training service.
So how did I end up in Personal Training?
Following a Mathematics degree at Leeds University, followed by 3 years Accountancy with Ernst and Young, I pursued my childhood dream of becoming a Nurse.
Throughout my life I’ve been involved in a variety of sport, and having had my family (Will 15, Josh 13 and Owen 11) my nursing career was becoming less practical and it struck me that being in my trainers and gym kit was when I was most comfortable.
I had friends in PT and thought that if they could do it I could too. So here I am 10 years later.
Over recent years I have taken part in several triathlons including the Olympic Distance London Triathlon which I completed in just under 3 hours. I have also done the Run to the Beat Half Marathon and the Hampton Court to Kingston Swim.

When we start talking about postnatal exercise for your core there is one big don't -"DON'T DO CRUNCHES''The still-healing, Postnatal Core doesn't, in general, respond too well to PRESSURE. Traditional crunches make pressure. Pressure builds against a still-healing abdominal wall and any healing diastasis.
Here are some suggestions for a healthy workout to rebuild your core

The push up may just be the perfect total body exercise that builds both upper body and core strength. Done properly, it is a compound exercise that uses muscles in the chest, shoulders, triceps, back, abs and even the legs. http://bit.ly/2XlpnTx #coreexercises #personaltrainer

One of the main issues I come across with nutrition is a lack of green leafy vegetables When it comes to leafy greens, you get a green light to eat as much as you want — that’s how good they are for you!
Why do I keep asking you to eat lots of green vegetables?
Leafy greens are full of vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytochemicals.... They are rich in fibre, an important nutrient for weight loss and maintenance because it keeps you feeling full and helps control your hunger.
