I found it difficult to keep on track with healthy eating and it simply wasn\u2019t possible for me to find the time to go to the gym to do the workouts I wanted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was heavier, I felt sluggish and I wasn\u2019t happy with how I looked, so I was always determined to get back into shape as soon as I could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, since discovering POW8r, Felicity has been able to fit in her workouts around her hectic schedule and learned more about the nutritional side of living healthily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started in September last year and I have now lost five stone and feel so much better.

I get up at 6am to either do a run or an online class before the kids wake up and it gives me so much more energy to get through the day and juggle work and family life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do classes four days per week and do runs on two other days, and I\u2019m more conscious of the nutritional side of things now too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy advice to anyone trying and struggling to lose weight is that consistency is absolutely key and that small changes to your diet and lifestyle can make a big difference over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cal Webb, Felicity\u2019s personal trainer at POW8R, said: \u201cFelicity deserves all the credit in the world for her incredible achievement and we are so proud of her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can be difficult to balance the demands of being a new mum with keeping in shape, but combining healthy eating with regular exercise is the best way to lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnline classes can make a real difference for people who are short on time and aren\u2019t able to head to the gym for a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd adding nutritional guidance to a tailored exercise plan can give you all the tools you need to achieve your fitness goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/diets\/1844286\/mum-weight-loss-app-POW8R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A busy mum has managed to lose five stone after struggling to stay in shape after the births of her three children in three successive years.
