Robyn Lanham: From Post-Retirement Fatigue to a Total Transformation
Retirement was supposed to bring Robyn Lanham more time, instead it exposed how much she'd let slip. Low energy, weight gain, and fatigue had quietly become part of her daily life, feeding into health issues she could no longer ignore.
Her first step with Her Smile was the 10-day Spring in Your Step challenge, a light, motivating way back into movement. From there, Robyn committed to weekly personal training with Adele Haussmann over Zoom, and it's here that the real shift began.
Adele's focus on correct technique and attention to detail helped Robyn build genuine strength and mobility, not just go through the motions, until daily movement became something she looked forward to rather than avoided.
‘I have to admit some sessions were tough, just extending my comfort level a little each week,’ Robyn says, ‘however, Adele has always offered support and encouragement, and I always felt exhilarated, and sore, after each session.’
The transformation didn't stop at fitness.
The Her Smile 30 Days to a Revamped Wardrobe gave Robyn the push to reassess her whole approach to getting dressed, and she describes the clean-out of her old wardrobe as genuinely therapeutic.
A Her Smile weekend retreat brought everything together: exercise, shopping, makeup, personal colour analysis, nutrition guidance, and time with other women on the same path, alongside a High Tea and a Broadway show.
Food has remained the hardest part for Robyn, so much of her social life is built around it, but she's made real changes: eating clean, choosing minimally processed food, drinking more water, and saving alcohol for special occasions.
The result shows up in more than the mirror. Robyn's blood tests have improved dramatically, to the point her doctors are thrilled, and her weight is down 10kg.
A friend recently told her that watching her walk, you'd never know she'd had a knee replacement, her posture simply doesn't give it away.
Robyn describes the whole experience as a total personal transformation. She feels energised, fit, healthy, and happy.
Her advice to any woman waiting for the right moment to start: stop procrastinating and make the move.
