Good luck!

This is what’s possible when you decided to take the first step!

This is my client .ferguson8 who never had stepped foot inside of a gym before starting with me. His goal was to learn proper form, feel good about himself and gain muscle. After 4 months of training and nutrition with me, this is what we have achieved!

He has gone from only knowing how to perform a few exercises to now being able to perform exercises with confidence by himself in the gym. Not only that he feels the most confident he has ever felt about himself!

If you want to take that next step to become the person you want to be, then please drop me a DM📲

When you first start you want to learn all the cool-looking exercises you see online. This was once me when I was new to the gym.

This is great but when you are focusing on trying to learn 5 or 6 new exercises each session you’re more than likely not going to get them all right and forget how to do them when you come around to do them the next time!

If this sounds like you! Then learn the basics first. Focus on getting your compound exercises really good for each body part such as your squat, deadlifts, bent over row, bench press and shoulder press. This will give you a good understanding of how the body moves and how to target different areas of the body.

Once you have mastered all of these exercises then try to look at adding other exercises to your workouts!

If this helped you or if you would like further help please send me a DM📲

⚡️Top tip for results⚡️

One thing I wish I did earlier when I started lifting weights is logging my lifts!

This is when you track your reps, sets and weight for every lift you do each session. This sounds like a lot of hassle but honestly is easy to do as there are many apps which are easy to use!

The benefits from doing this is that you are always progressively overloading lifts as you always know what weight you should be working, this makes sure you aren’t wasting any time in the gym! This is a great way to easily improve and also it’s amazing to see how far you have come! Celebrate the little wins!

If you would like any help or more information on how to log your lift feel free to DM me📲

Strength training🏋🏼‍♀️

Everyone should be doing some sort of strength training!

Strength training isn’t just for power lifters or athletes. Everyone no matter the ability or age should be doing strength training, ideally with someone that knows what they are doing if you are just getting started.

The benefits include:

-Increase in strength
-Increase in bone density
-Improves the heart health
-Improves brain health
-Lowers blood pressure
-Increase metabolism
-Improves your mood and mental health
-Improves joint function
-Increase mobility
-decrease the chance of injury

These are just some of the top areas that strength training can better your life, there are many more positive effects. So this is why everyone should be doing some sort of strength training every week. For younger people it will keep you fit and healthy and also for older people it will have a great effect on slowing the negative effects of ageing.

If you would like some help with your strength training or would like to start some strength training please drop me a DM📲

Motivation has a big impact on some peoples training.

When most people are highly motivated their training will be amazing! However when they aren’t they will more than likely give up on what they are doing until they find the motivation to start up again.

Motivation is a great tool to help us push towards our goals but creating discipline is what is going to help you keep doing the thing you need to do to get to your goals!

Discipline is doing something when you are unmotivated to do it. When you discipline your self to do something like training when you don’t want to this will create a healthy habit. This will eventually make something like training feel more like a lifestyle than a chore.

A easy way to start creating discipline is making your self accountable. You could make a to do list or find someone that you can work with to help you become more accountable such as a PT or a coach!

If you would like any help with becoming more disciplined towards training and nutrition please drop me a DM📲

What is the right amount of rest in between sets?

The best amount of time is as long as it takes to recover from the set before! When lifting close to failure your body uses up a lot of energy, fatiguing the muscles. Your body then needs time to recover from this so it can lift a weight that is still working the muscles hard enough.

If you are going too soon after your set before you will fail before the amount of reps you are aiming for. If this happens, often you will end up dropping the weight down before your next set because you don’t feel like you have the energy to do it.

So next time you are not ready for the next set try to rest for a little longer so you can work that extra bit harder!

Give me a DM if this tip works for you📲

Do you feel pain whilst lifting?!💥

When I am mean pain I don’t mean the burn you feel after completing a set! I mean a sharp shooting pain or a aching pain.

Lots of my clients before starting with me often tell me during deadlifts and squats their lower back hurts or their shoulders hurt after doing shoulder press and bench press.

This is almost every time because of their form when doing the exercises and they are trying to go too heavy for their current ability to perform the exercise.

Form is the most important part of lifting if you can’t perform the exercise properly you aren’t going to get the full effects of the exercise. Also you are putting your body at risk of injury.

Here are some ways you can improve your form!

1. Drop the weight down! Don’t go heavier unless you can perform the exercise with good form to keep you safe whilst doing the exercise. Don’t ego lift!

2. Get some one to film your set. This way you can look back at your exercise and adjust the form from the video.

3. Hire a coach or a PT. Someone that knowledgeable will be able to notice things you might not even know you were doing wrong. Having someone there to help you improve, give you understanding and will teach you skills you will have for life.

If you found this helpful or if you are looking for a coach to help you improve your form give me a message 📲

Exercises should be enjoyable! If it isn’t you are doing the wrong thing!!

You should never dread to go and exercise, it is something that you should be looking forward to doing! So if you hate running you don’t have to do it! There is no type of exercise or exercises you MUST do!

If you are doing something you hate for exercise, you are 100% more likely not going to do it all together!

So my advice is to do something you love doing, like a sport which you are more likely to stick to and want to do more of! This will make exercising feel like you are not even exercising!!!

If you want more advice on how to make exercising more enjoyable my DMs are always open!

How to balance drinking and training 🍺

I love to enjoy a few drink every now and again! I’m sure lots of you do too!

But trying to balance exercising and still be able to go out for a some drinks is hard especially when the weather is getting better!

The dreaded hangover the next day and also worrying about how off track you have gone is how most of you probably feel afterwards.

This often puts a stop to training and leads to you completely going off track for a few days after drinking.

Now what if I told you that you could still enjoy drinking and also stay on track with your training!

Here are some things you can do to guarantee you stay on track!

1. Try to reduce your calories on the days leading up to the day you are drinking. As the average pint is around 180 calorie by reducing your daily calorie intake in the days leading up to your drinks you can still stay on track with your calories! Try to prioritise protein as your main food source when doing this! Still get a good meal in before drinking as well.

2. Try to go for lower calorie drinks. This is not a must but can help if you are having quite a lot to drink! Often spirits are lower in calories than pints!

3. Increase your exercise leading up to the drinking day. Try to make sure to increase your step count and exercise on the days leading up to alcohol consumption! Also try to go for a walk the next day, I find this helps the hangover and also makes sure you are increasing your exercise!

4. Plan your rest day for the day after drinking this makes sure you don’t miss a day of training because you went out!

5. Stay as hydrated as you can before, during and after drinking alcohol. The day after have a drink with electrolytes in! This will help you feel less rubbish the next day🍻

Hope these tips help next time you go out for a drink! Any questions or help with how to stay on track please give me a DM📲

If you find yourself lacking energy in your gym workouts. Here are 3 things you can improve for instant results!

1. Improve your sleep. Improving your sleep routine by having set bed times and wake up times is a easy way to get more sleep and plus get the full befits of feeling more energised and maximise recovery. 7 to 8 hours of sleep is the recommended amount per night😴

2. Hydration! Improving your hydration before, during and after your workout will help maximise your body’s full potential for your workout! Hydration will help the body become more efficient for energy use, body temperature regulation and also help with recovery. 2 litres is the recommended amount per day!

3. Routine! Having a daily routine will make sure you are mentally prepared to bring your best to each workout and make sure you are working out at the best time for you!

These 3 tips are small things which can have a massive impacted on your training and the way you feel! If you need any help with improving these things please don’t hesitate to DM me 📲

The best £5-£10 investment if your goal is muscle gain or “toning up”!

No this isn’t protein powder for once!

If you find your limiting factor when lifting is your grip, invest in some lifting straps!

When training for muscle gain or “toning up” you have to be pushing the body hard enough to make the muscle adapt. This means to have to progressively overload the muscles aka train harder than before. So if you find your grip on your pull and some leg exercises is reason you can’t go heavier lift straps could be the solution.

Lifting straps work by creating a loop around the bar or dumbbells making the weight attached to your hands/arms, this takes your hand grip and your forearm strength out of the lift meaning the actual muscle you are trying to target get more work!

The best way to use them so you are still working on your grip strength is to only use them when the weight becomes to heavy to hold normally! This is definitely something everyone should be using if goal is muscle gain/toning up not just bodybuilders!

If you want any more info about lifting straps or how to use them please send me a DM📲

What is the best amount of times to train a week?

I often have clients asking how many days should I be training and how many days is enough to see results!

When I started the gym I always use to think I should be training 7 times a week. Thinking if I missed a day I would not get results!

Luckily this isn’t the case! Rest days are just as important as working days! This gives your body a chance to repair so you can work as hard as you can in the next session! I would recommend at least 3-5 working days a week depending on your workout split and exercise selection 💪🏼

Do you find your self training abs all the time but seeing little results with them! Doing endless crunches and sit ups!

The common mistake with training them is that people think that this will reduce the fat in this area. Sadly you can’t spot reduce fat from doing exercises for targeted areas of the body.

It’s all about the amount of body fat in that area. To be able to see the abs you have to be a very low body fat percentage which is often very hard to obtain and maintain. This means to have to be in a very harsh calorie deficit for a long period of time!

The effects of this are-
👉🏼you are going to feel tired all the time
👉🏼you will get cold easily
👉🏼you will be moody
👉🏼you will probably have to lose some muscle mass to get to this level!

Also for females getting to this low body fat percentage is very dangerous causing risk to their fertility and other health issues.

So if abs are your goal maybe look for a goal which is going to make you feel good and is something you can work towards such a strength goal!!

Should you be taking supplements?

There is hundreds of different sports supplements out there now, all claiming to perform amazing results! Some sounding too good to be true!! Most of these supplements contain ingredients we have never heard of and cost crazy prices!

So should you be buying them?

The answer is it depends!

Supplements are there to supplement or add to your diet if you aren’t getting enough of that nutritional aspect! So if your diet is lacking something then supplements can be a big help to reach your goals!

However there are only a few supplements out there which are worth taking which are backed by scientific research! Meaning they actually work!

These are the ones worth taking-

Whey protein- This could be normal whey protein, which is a milk base blend or clear whey which is similar to squash! Protein helps with repairing the muscles making it one of the most important nutritional requirements!

Creatine monohydrate- This is found in red meats and fish! The key benefit in this is to add short bust energy stores and has shown to help brain health.

Lastly Pre workout- This often contains caffeine which is taken before a workout and is shown to boost energy! This is one of the supplements which is definitely not needed unless you are lacking energy, you don’t want to rely on this for every workout!

These are the top 3 supplements that are worth taking, if you want anymore information on these supplements please drop me a DM📲

Eating out and results🍟

Everyone enjoys a meal out but often find them selfs feeling guilty and completely off track from reaching their goals! This leads to “oh well” or “I will start again on Monday” attitude with their diet, sending you in to eating overdrive and making you unmotivated to exercises!

What if I told you that you could enjoy at least one meal out a week and still reach your results in the same amount of time! Guilt FREE! No more turning down social outings!

Here are three things you can do to make sure you stay on track when eating out🍔

1.Increase your step count! Everyone underestimates walking this is a easy way to burn more calories! Try parking your car further away from the shops and going on daily walks! Try to aim for a minimum of 10k a day!

2.Track your calories! Tracking how many calories you are putting in your body, this will help you to allow for some extra breathing room when you do decide to go out to eat!

3.Plan your training! If you do know you are going out for lunch or dinner, make sure you can still fit in your exercise around it 💪🏼

Give these three tips a go and eat out guilt FREE next time 🍟 if you want help or any more detail on how to do these steps please give me a message📲

Are you struggling to get results in the gym?

Do you find your self going to the gym 4+ times a week and not seeing any really progression.

This was once me. I use to go to the gym 5+ a week, doing the same routine not really seeing any progress on the exercises I was doing and results. This is sometimes known as a plateau.

This makes you feel like the gym is a waste of time!

Does this sound like you?

If so here are three ways you can break this plateau and see progression again⬇️

-Increase your weights.
If you are lifting the same weights each time you walk in the gym. Try increasing the weights and bringing the amount of reps down. Whilst keeping the form safe.

-Increase the intensity (TRAIN HARDER)
Try pushing your self harder, each set should be close if not to failure.

-Improve your form
By lifting properly, using the the full range of motion and using the correct muscles will help maximise your results.

Give this a go next time you are in the gym! If you need any help please drop me a DM!
