He said: “One) Start Slow and be cautious of over exertion. Laura Woods and Love Island boyfriend Adam Collard announce they are expecting a baby in adorable post”Ask yourself a question of how hard am I working? “Perhaps use an RPE (Effort) scale of no more than 8/10 effort on all things whether it be your weights or your cardio output.”Two) Get a Plan from a professional.”Some exercises are out of bounds during pregnancy, or at least become that after 2nd and 3rd trimester. “So do your homework, or get a professional to create you a programme or take you through a few sessions.”Three) Don’t beat yourself up.How Laura Woods tamed Love Island bad boy Adam CollardHE was one of Love Island’s most notorious bad boys – but one woman seems to have changed all that.Personal trainer Adam Collard, 28, has been dating Euro 2024 presenter Laura Woods, 36, since 2023.The former loverat has called her “The One,” spent Christmas with her – the first time he’s done so with a girlfriend since he was 21 – and kept their relationship relatively out of the limelight, seemingly on Laura’s wishes.It’s a far cry from the man who admits himself he’s been “ruthless” in the past, claims to have had 25 girlfriends, and spent many years partying and juggling flings with girls including Zara McDermott and Lottie Moss.Relationship expert Jo Hemmings says: “He’s now 28, he’s a professional with a job, and I think he just went off the whole idea of ever realistically meeting somebody on a TV show.“He’s now met somebody who is also a professional, and is only on TV as a byproduct of what she does in sport.“He’s got himself in a comfortable place. Financially, he’s older, he’s more mature, he’s more settled.“He once played into this roguish character that people saw him as, and became a parody of himself. But look who’s laughing now.“He’s got a fabulous girlfriend, they’re in a long term relationship, he’s well off, he’s still in the public eye, and he’s getting on with his life in the way that I think he always wanted.”Read the full article here”Some days may be 10 minutes, some days may be an hour. Some you may want to hit the gym, some days you may want to stretch at home or walk. “Listen to your body, and the little one inside you. “They have a good way of telling you when to move, and when to rest.”Any movement is a win, I’d say 2-3 short, lower intensity sessions than pre-pregnancy is always a good routine for most (but this does differ in each individual based on your pre-pregnancy fitness levels).”Woods managed to keep her pregnancy a secret throughout the entirety of Euro 2024, before making the announcement before she jetted to Paris to cover the Olympics.And in even more exciting news, Woods and Collard announced they were engaged in September.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe happy couple started dating last year and the reality TV personality got down on one knee on the beach in Cornwall to pop the big question.Woods then showed off her dazzling ring on live TV while presenting TNT’s Champions League coverage.Woods said she was ‘fighting’ for her life during the workoutCredit: Instagram @adamcollardShe was also seen lifting weightsCredit: Instagram @adamcollardWoods showed off her baby bumpCredit: Instagram @laurawoodsyEx-Love Island star Collard and Woods announced they were engaged in SeptemberCredit: Instagram More

      Paul Scholes in shock Amorim U-turn and claims Man Utd rivals are ‘JEALOUS’ days after saying ‘feels like Ten Hag again’

      by

      PAUL SCHOLES has performed a U-turn on new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim by insisting he is now “really excited” about the Portuguese coach’s arrival.Last week, the legendary Red Devils midfielder claimed the hype around Amorim “feels a bit like Erik ten Hag”.Paul Scholes has made a U-turn on his assessment of Ruben AmorimCredit: TNT SportAmorim will officially take charge of Manchester United on MondayCredit: GettyWhen discussing the Sporting Lisbon boss’ tactical ideas – namely a three-man defence and possession-based style – Scholes also cut a concerned figure as he admitted it is “something United don’t really do”.But ahead of his former club’s 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night, Scholes transformed his comments into overwhelming positivity.It came just two days after Amorim’s Sporting thrashed Manchester City 4-1 in the Champions League.Speaking on TNT Sports, Scholes said: “I am really excited about it. We have been in for managers and players who we haven’t really had any competition to try to sign.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”Especially some of the players where there are not the likes of Barcelona, Man City and Liverpool – the big clubs being after them.”I think with Ruben Amorim, everyone is looking and they are a little bit jealous, because I think some of them really, really wanted him.”I know he has been spoken about with City once Pep goes, so he has been thought of in that high regard.”That is something we haven’t really had before. We had [Louis] van Gaal, who getting a big job at that stage of his career was a surprise.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”For [Jose] Mourinho, it was probably his last big job and it was a bit surprising for the Chelsea rivalry.”This is the first one where you think, ‘yes, this is a real coup’. We have got in there ahead of three, four, five top clubs around Europe and it is exciting. I can’t wait for him to come.”Man Utd legend Paul Scholes names his top 5 toughest Champions League opponents of all time Amorim was heavily linked with the Liverpool job earlier this year before Arne Slot was appointed as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement.He flew to London for talks with West Ham, while there were also reports he was being lined up as Pep Guardiola’s replacement at Man City.But Man Utd is where he has ended up – a position he will officially begin on Monday.His first match in charge comes after the international break on November 24 when they travel to Ipswich.Interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will take the reigns for a fourth and final time on Sunday when Man Utd host Leicester.Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man UtdWHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes Jordan Davies.Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers. The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won’t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.
