A personal trainer with a love of photography, Frankie Rose has been a freelance PT for 15 years and is currently based at Carrefour Metro in St. Helier.
She has a degree in Social Documentary Photography and has recently rediscovered her love for taking pictures.
She is also a wellness and lifestyle coach.
After a busy day at the gym, she like to unwind by reading something that she can pass on to others, practicing self-care, mindfulness, taking a walk and noticing the beauty in simple things around her.
Eating a balanced diet of freshly prepared organic produce keeps my energy levels sustained throughout my busy days and prevents crashes and snack cravings.
A good dessert at the weekend would be some whole Greek yogurt with strawberries and mixed nuts. I also enjoy the occasional piece of good quality dark chocolate (Waitrose Ecuador 90% is perfection).
I tend to avoid alcohol these days as I value my recovery and am sensitive to the sleep disturbance.
I drink about two-three litres of mineral water every day. Maybe a green tea in the morning if I have a particularly active day or I’m out for a boogie. My go-to treat drinks are KTea Kombucha or a turmeric latte with coconut milk.
If I’m in the gym all day and the music is pumping, by the time I get home I just need some peace and quiet. The calm app has a wide selection of soothing sounds to wind down after a busy day, I am particularly partial to the thunderstorm at bedtime.
At the weekend a walk in nature with just the sound of the wind or the waves is ideal.
I love reading, I get through at least a couple of books a month alongside my study material, all based around my career and my interest in health, nutrition and psychology. Anything to do with the human body and mind just fascinates me.
YouTube is my uni, I get lost down a rabbit hole of podcasts and talks all debating the latest science and research around the current health trends and their validity. If my brain needs a break it will be something like The Diary of a CEO or Will Tennyson’s bodybuilding eating challenges.
