Hello. This is my first blog of 2022! It’s been two months of training hard and preparing for the up and coming competition season. Unfortunately I’ve also had Covid, so my training suddenly had to stop while I was ill, but I am back and feeling good and pretty confident and nearly ready for the English and British Championships. I hope it goes well and goes to plan. Here’s my kind of diary. I haven’t had much spare time to write lots down as my GCSE school work has also taken my time when I’m not in the gym! Thank you for being interested in my gymnastics journey. Tuesday 4 January 2022 4-8pm ..read more

Hello again. This is my last blog for this year. I can’t believe how quickly 2021 has gone! The last three months have been good, but also sad and difficult at times, but I still love my gymnastics and I’m feeling positive about 2022 and I’m focused on the English and British Champs in March, so not long! Thank you for reading my blog. Here are my last three months, as a bit of a diary… October 2021 A memory popped up from five years ago today! It’s me in my GB kit. I look so young! haha. 9-16 October 2021 Sunday. This week I did my bars routine from A to B! That’s exciting. It’s really comi ..read more

Hello. It’s been another three months since my last blog. I can’t believe it. During this time it’s been a real rollercoaster. It’s been really difficult at times and I’ve felt so frustrated, but I’ve kept trying to move forward and now I’m really happy with how my gymnastics is going and I’m feeling confident and believing in myself. My skills and routines are feeling good. Here’s what I have been doing, and some of my training videos and competition videos of my routines! Week 28 June. It was normal training times in the gym for me this week and on Friday I received my England Squad kit in t ..read more

Hello again. My last blog was in March, and now it’s June! We’ve been back in the gym for the last two months. It’s been really hard getting back to doing actual gymnastics in the gym. I found it difficult for things to work and for my skills to click into place, I felt pressure from myself and I’ve been worried and at times it was all feeling too much. However, I talked about my thoughts and then pushed on through and now my gymnastics is going brilliantly well! It’s been so busy with my normal hours of school, homework and all my normal twenty six hours training in the gym every week, t ..read more

Hello. Thank you for reading my blog. Since the last time I posted, it’s been a strange start to the year as we have been in lockdown again (lockdown 3.0) due to Covid-19. It’s been ten weeks now. I’ve been trying to stay fit and as motivated and as positive as I can through the winter and while the dark nights have been here! Hopefully we are now looking to more sunshine outside and being back in the gym soon. I hope! Here’s my journey over the last ten weeks. WEEK 1 Monday 4 January 2021. Boris, our Prime Minister, gave an announcement at 8pm. He announced to the country that we have to go ..read more

Hello again. It’s the end of 2020! It’s been a year of spending lots of time learning and working out at home! I never thought it would be like that. I only got to do one competition this year. It’s been crazy and strange, as normally I am in the gym or at school most of the time, but I’ve been able to be with my family much more which has actually been quite nice! Here’s my blog about December in the gym, and how I’m looking forward to 2021. Sunday 29 November 2020. It was a fancy dress gym zoom training day today. Haha. Captain America for me! Tuesday 1 December – Tonight I was watching ..read more

Hello and welcome to my new blog. This autumn I’ve been getting my skills back, achieving new ones and really flying high (I really felt like I was doing amazing gymnastics things again)! However now we are two weeks into another national lockdown due to the coronavirus and the gym has had to close for 4 weeks again. It’s a shame, but we have to do what’s right for everyone to stay safe. Friday 18 Sept. It was a full all day session at gym with Kelly 10am – 5pm. It was a great day.  I achieved a lot today and I was much quicker! I loved being in the gym. Here’s a video of me doing a ..read more

Hello again. Here’s my blog about returning to the gym during the summer holidays after 4 months of lockdown at home, and then coping with going back to school as well! It’s been seven weeks of trying to build things up again very slowly with my gymnastics, adding my hours carefully and getting used to new systems and programmes, but it’s been so good to be back in the gym doing real gymnastics again! Monday 27 July 2020 We did a Zoom training session at home for 45 mins from 8.45am, as it was wet outside. I got all hot and sweaty. Then, I changed into my leotard (the first time I have put on ..read more

Hello. It’s been eleven weeks since my last blog and now a total of 18 weeks in lockdown! I can’t really believe it. During this time I have done so much running, cycling and hours and hours of conditioning every day, daily challenges and lots of online school work. I’ve been so busy everyday. I feel fit and strong, and so excited to be getting back in the gym to do ACTUAL gymnastics after four months. But I need to take it slowly as I don’t want an injury and I think it might be a bit difficult and take time to get my skills back. I think the beam with look very high! I will stay positive and ..read more

Hello. It’s been another five weeks of isolation. Actually it’s gone quite quickly! I am keeping myself very busy and as fit and conditioned as I can and eating well and taking care of my body so that hopefully I will be strong and ready when I get back in the gym. I really like getting outside to exercise with my family and seeing the countryside where I live as it helps my mind to keep positive too! Here’s my blog. Week 4 in isolation due to the coronavirus 13 April – 19 April Easter Monday – the daily challenge today was calf raise hold. That is standing on my tip toes for as long as possib ..read more
