Thought for the day

This is what I just said to my client who was bench pressing his personal best “you need to trust your body”

Same thing can be said about many other things “trust your body, trust your choices, trust your heart “

Performing exercises from a kneeling position is often harder eg shoulder press on your knees or the exercise below. When kneeling it removes some of the stability provided by your legs and forces your core and upper body to engage more to maintain balance. Without the full support of your legs, other muscles, especially your core, glutes, and stabilizer muscles, have to work harder to keep you steady.
In a kneeling position, you often reduce your ability to use momentum making the movement more controlled and challenging. This can lead to increased muscle activation and make the exercise feel more intense.

Your body is your temple look after it and it will look after you.

Walking backwards may look weird but there are both physical and mental benefits.
1: makes me focus on the job and block out everything else because I don’t want to fall.
2: makes me aware of my body and muscle movements.
3: great for balance and core.
4: focuses on more of the posterior muscles.
5: reduces the pain in my knees
6: I find it more challenging and we all love a challenge.

Fridays or Saturday or Sunday’s workout just make sure you do some form of movement. Your body will thank you for it 🧘‍♀️🥊🏋️🏃

What do we need to do yes we need to train✅ yes we need to eat well✅ quality sleep reduce our stress etc however without a positive mindset you will struggle to implement the above ..

Finding time on the weekends to train can be challenging.
Mondays can be tough after a weekend every day can be a challenge. You need to make a habit of it and remember Motivation is what gets you started Habit is what keeps you going.

This workout can be done any where each station is 1 minute after completing the circuit rest for 1 minute and repeat another 2-5 rounds. Any exercise you can’t perform change it to something you can do there really is no excuse not to move for the majority of us.

Ps don’t forget to warm up and stretch

Only 4 exercises once complete rest for 1 minute and repeat another 2-5 rounds. Any exercise you can’t perform change it to something you can do eg
30 sit on chair and stand (squats)
40 punch arms (jab crosses)

30 alternating heel taps
There really is no excuse not to move for the majority of us.

I ❤️ this photo anyone who knows me knows I have a GREAT APPETITE I even consume more food than my husband who is triple my size. It’s what you eat that counts yes my serving sizes are double than his Sunday -Thursday eg he will have chicken and oven baked chips and I will eat the same not so many chips but an additional plate of vegetables or salad. I try and eat healthy nutritional foods and stack up on the vegetables, salads, lean proteins, yogurts, nuts and seeds. The weekends are a little different we go out to dinner and we both indulge in a three course meal and two glasses of wine.
You don’t have to go hungry you just need to make the right choices and be consistent.
I do appreciate that fact that I am fortunate to have a job that keeps me active allowing me to consume more calories than most.

Some days are tough even on those sad and challenging days I try and find a positive. If you are suffering remind yourself of all the people that love you, don’t give up, ask for help, just stop, breathe and relax. My life is like a roller coaster with its wonderful, beautiful highs and challenging and scary lows. I enjoy every minute of my highs and hold on tight with my lows knowing I won’t be there for long. Stay strong

Do you want a perky BUTT!🍑
At the moment training your glutes is a high priority for many who are looking for a nice tight butt. However let’s not forget some other reasons why glute strength training is important:
⭐️ It improves your posture which then helps maintain proper pelvic alignment and reduces the stress on the lower back.⭐️ It improves your athletic performance since your glutes are a large and powerful muscle in the body. They play a key role in running, jumping, and lifting, which means that strengthening them can improve speed, power, and endurance. ⭐️
Injury prevention weak glutes can lead to overcompensation by other muscles eg lower back, hamstrings, knees, increasing the risk of injury. Strong glutes helps distribute loads more evenly and stabilize joints.⭐️Strong glutes improve hip mobility and balance, essential for everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or squatting.
So work those butts so they look 🔥 and for the other above reasons 💪🏾🍑🏋️🦵.

DYING TO BE THIN”
Unfortunately I see this regularly clients wanting to be thin at any cost. I also witness eating disorders, over training, taking steroids and weightloss medication. Some people are looking for perfection, there goals are unrealistic and unsustainable. The stress, heartache, frustration, sadness they subject themselves to is heartbreaking. Lets not forget about there families and friends who are also effected by there illness.
If you are reading this and suffer with any of the above disorders never be afraid to ask for help. I am only a trainer I am happy to listen to you but I am no professional, you need to seek professional help ASAP the longer you leave this the harder it is to break this unhealthy cycle.
