Don't spend all your energy on the treadmill if you're trying to drop a pants size.
Strength training is an important way to boost your weight loss.
Trying to lose a few kg, but the scale won't budge? Try adding more weight-at the gym or your workout routine at home.
Weight training-using free weights or weight machines to build muscle-is a type of strength training that not only can help you slim down, but also can gain you a ton of other health benefits.
You should incorporate strength training into your fitness routine!!

I hope you did?👀
Let's delve a little into the importance of vegetables:

🫒 Vegetables are a good source of dietary fiber, a type of carbohydrate that helps pass food through your digestive system. Studies show that fiber may also improve vitamin and mineral absorption in the body, which could potentially raise your daily energy levels.

🫒 Green leafy vegetables also contain vitamin K, which is believed to prevent calcium from building up in your arteries. This can lower your risk of arterial damage and help prevent many heart health complications in the future.

🫒 Vegetables are a rich source of folate, a B vitamin that helps your body make new red blood cells. Folate is especially important for children’s health and may also reduce the risk of cancer and depression.

You should always have vegetables in your meals at least in a meal per day and that of your kids😊

It's an holiday, a good time and a good reason for you to move your body.
Get up it's evening and it's less sunny outside....Go for some road walk, do some indoor workout(squat, jumping jacks or jump ropes) Your BODY will thank You!
A gentle reminder that i didn't get sallah meat from you people 😩 No Christmas chicken for all of you too🌚

Embarking on a weight loss journey can be both exciting and challenging.
While you may have set goals and a clear path in mind, setbacks are inevitable. Whether it’s a plateau, a relapse, or a lack of motivation, setbacks can leave you feeling discouraged and tempted to give up.
However, it’s important to remember that setbacks are a normal part of any journey, and with the right mindset and strategies, you can overcome them.
Swipe through the slides, we explored 5 effective ways to deal with setbacks in your weight loss journey and stay motivated to achieve your goals.

Happy New Week Fitminds 💪

Let me tell you something; Being healthy is something worth striving for, And this is what it means?

First of all, being healthy is NOT a one-size-fits-all prescription. Throughout different stages of your life, the healthy habits that work best for you will change as your lifestyle changes and this is perfectly normal!

Approach your health in a holistic way that takes into account your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Finding balance in these areas is one way to feel healthy and empowered to live your life to the fullest.

Being healthy is simply;
🧡 Caring for your body through nutritious meals
🧡 Making time for regular exercise
🧡 Getting enough rest
🧡 Prioritizing your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Start with small, sustainable changes that fit into your lifestyle, and remember, you can find the support and motivation you need from our private coaching classes; Click link in bio to connect with us!

Moms which of these slides can you relate to?😩😅

You can eat only a limited amount of food in a single day.
To maximize the amount of nutrients you take in, it makes sense to spend your calorie budget wisely by choosing the foods that carry the greatest amount and variety of nutrients.
That's why I've collated some list of nutrient baded vegetables you should always incorporate in your meals.
If you find this Informative, kindly leave a thumbs up 👍 in the comment section, it motivates us to put up more contents like this!

Are you looking for ways to improve your digestive health?
Following a well rounded diet of foods such as lean meats, fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains and low-fat dairy or nondairy products is key to keeping your digestive system working efficiently.

Did I hear you say IMPOSSIBLE? There's really no SUCH thing as that!
If you're willing, then you CAN!!! Alot can happen in a year if you don't give up.
You just have to start and you can start with us!

Staying healthy should be the top of everyone’s priority list, and our daily choices can determine just how healthy we are.
Not everything is in our control, but the habits and approaches we take to our health can often make a difference between being healthy and unhealthy.
And once you get this two things right, Your NUTRITION and WORKOUT, Your dream body is assured!

Are you looking forward to starting a gym routine but never stepped foot in one before? To achieve the best results in the Gym, it is important you have all the essentials you are going to need packed and ready to go.

Here are some of the workout essentials to pack in your gym bag for your first day to work, sweat and achieve:

1. Water bottle: Keeping your own reusable water bottle handy at the gym; it will help you stay hydrated.

2. Quick-Dry Hand Towel: Not always do you get a good quality hand towel at the gym and if you do, some places can charge a lot for them. So keeping a microfiber quick dry hand towel close is the perfect way to remain fresh and clean.

 3. Headphones: Good music is always motivating when you hit the machines so keeping your favourite headphones in your gym bag is always a good option.

 4. Snack: The best way to recover after your workout is to have a post workout snack, rich in protein. You can pack a protein bar or dry fruits in your bag to help speed the recovery of the body.

5. Workout clothes/Shower essential : It is very important to always have a fresh set of workout clothes in your bag and change your gear after the workout(optional);  Some of us will want to take a post-workout shower to stay clean and fresh. Keeping a small bag packed of all the shower essentials from shampoo to body wash is a good idea for a quick shower too (optional too)You could decide to get that done at home even though some gyms have shower room and the likes.

With these few tips, You should be good to hit the gym as a beginner 😊💪🏋️

You need to stop 🛑 trying to stick to a “perfect” diet!
👋🏼 Meet Mary: Who came to me hyper-focused on eating “clean”. 🥗 Avoiding most carbs, added sugar, processed foods, alcohol 🍷, all the “bad” stuff.

It was stressful and made meal planning and prep super overwhelming. 😓 But she stuck to it because she felt like it worked. That is… Until it didn’t.

Until she went out to eat or her family brought home some sweets. 🍫 Then the wheels fell off and she was sent spiraling, eating ALL the food. It left her feeling shameful, frustrated, and stuck with her weight loss goals. 💔

We began working together and immediately got back to the basics. 🙌🏼Challenging her beliefs around “good” and “bad” foods, including more fun 🎉 foods in her diet on a regular basis, while keeping her in a calorie deficit!

You see, it’s ALL about balance. 🙏🏼 It’s the extremes that get you into trouble. All whole foods = unsustainable, restrictive. 😣 All fun foods = unbalanced, low nutrients, often excessive calories. 🍕

⭐️ Approximately* 80% nutritious whole foods + 20% fun foods is the ratio to aim for!

It's world food safety day!!!
A huge part of this fitness/wellbeing journey depends hugely on what we eat, how we prepare them before eating and how these meals are preserved, it's basically personal hygiene.

These are low carb dishes that you can eat while hitting your fitness goals.
And remember moderation is key!
You really don't have to be confused when it's breakfast, lunch or dinner time; I have a meal plan that keeps your fitness goal at heart while giving you your favourite nutritious and healthy meals;

Click link in my bio to grab my meal plan, You'd be glad you did!

Grab a seat, let’s discuss your falling off on your wellness journey and giving up.

Eating cake and ice cream while on a diet is fine.

Eating Pizza and coke on a diet is fine.

Eating Amala and Goat meat is fine.

What is not fine is when you give up on your journey just because of one bad meal.

What really matters is to get back on track and be on point 80% of the time.

So when next you want to give up. Remember consistency means NEVER GIVING UP!

As you go into the weekend remember this!

🧡
