The secret to getting the results you want?

Habit building!

These habits aren’t just built on the days you are motivated. These days build momentum, but the habit is really built when you get it done despite not feeling like it.

Discipline > Motivation

That is where you get the results 🤩

Thursday thoughts 🤔
Here’s 4 important lessons that have helped me and clients achieve success.

1. You’ll will never have more “free time”
learning to fit in your workout when your busy is the perfect time to start. You will actually stick to it.

2. Stop trying to lose weight, instead set a goal to lose body fat and gain muscle

3. Living out of shape is harder than working out

4. The most effective and goal driven workouts seem boring and repetitive

Mindset =
1% better everyday

Small daily changes = big long term wins 💯

Go get what’s yours 💣

Why women should strength train:

1. Build strength & muscle
2. Strengthens bones & joints
3. Improve blood pressure and blood sugar
4. Improve mood and emotional well-being
5. Improve confidence
6. Improves energy levels

Fitness Myths ❌

1. Your muscle will turn into fat if you stop working out. Fat and muscle are two totally different tissues. You will lose muscle and possibly gain fat, but your muscle can’t turn into fat.

2. You can spot reduce. There is no way to know where your going to lose fat from. Follow the process and genetics will determine where you lose fat from.

Happy long weekend 🎉🤩

If you take anything away from this post,let it be this: Work hard, Rest hard.

The fitness industry comes at us all the time with 2 extreme narratives:

1. Work till we drop, rest is for the weak
2. Rest over everything else

I often get questions about where I draw the line with discipline and over training. For one it comes down to the individual understanding how much your body is used to/can handle, aswell as how experienced/beginner you are at training.

Finding the balance between listening to your body, eating consistently/well, getting enough sleep and battling through the mentally tough days when you simply just don’t feel like it.

Prioritise:
1. Getting enough sleep

2. Eating well and consistently
throughout the day

3. Set yourself specific rest days

Learning to be disciplined with your training/eating and recovery. Both are key to breaking habits and reaching goals.

CARDIO! 🥳

We either love it or hate it right!

I feel best when I’m collectively my fittest and strongest, which means I do need to incorporate cardio in some form into my sessions. Cardio for me isn’t necessarily about burning more calories it’s more the non aesthetic benefits and performing in my sport etc.

Here are some non aesthetic reasons why you should incorporate cardio. I’m not saying include excessive amounts, find what you enjoy and what will bring you closer to your goals 👊🏻

1. Improves your heart health which is one of/if not the most important organ in our body.

2. Improves lung capacity, can help reduce asthma symptoms

3. Lowers blood pressure

4. Increased fitness levels, day to day activities become easier

POV: Looking into the new week 👀

What we think is stopping our progress vs what actually!

So many of us get lost in striving for perfection when adopting a goal and never reach our end destination!

Hold yourself accountable and be consistent. Figure out what helps you stay on track and work with that! 💪🏻👏🏻

Happy Monday team! 🙌🏻

I was having a chat with a client today and it got me thinking about how so many of us get so consumed in training to make us look a certain way that we forget how beneficial it is for our health!

Such as:

- improved sleep and energy levels
- Outlet for mental health and mindset
- Increased muscle mass, stronger bone density
- Overall fitness and strength
- Increased confidence and mood + many more!!

Let’s stop defining health with a certain “look” !!

There are so many untrue and damaging messages surrounding food on social media!

This is just a reminder:

🚩 You don’t need to “earn” your food
🚩 A leafy salad is not a full meal
🚩 Carbohydrates are NOT your enemy and yes you can eat them after 6pm 😅
🚩You do not need to restrict yourself all day if you want dessert

Building a healthy relationship with food comes from flexibility and freedom. The more flexible you are with your nutrition approach the more consistent you will be 👏🏻

Invest in yourself always 💫

Happy Monday team!! 🥳

I read somewhere today that said “your direction is more important that your speed”.

Us humans always want that quick fix, so here’s your reminder to not give up when you don’t see instant results, consistency will reward you 💯👏🏻

It is important when training for a specific goal that your programming is specific and on par with your needs and goals.

How to structure your glute days:

Implement 3 key movement patterns:

1. Hip extension/Glute bridge - hip thrust, Kas glute bridge

2. Hip hinge movements - good mornings, RDL

3. Knee dominant movement - Reverse lunge, barbell squat, Bulgarian split squat

Rather than picking exercises using the same movement pattern. Pick one from each of these movements. This ensures you are training the glute in both a stretched and lengthened position for optimal results. 🍑

4 things I wish I knew when starting out at the gym!

1. If you want to build muscle you need to ensure you are hitting your protein requirements.

2. No one is watching how much weight or how many reps you are doing. You are not being judged!

3. Form over weight always!

4. You CAN do the same exercises week after week and see insane progress. (Progressive overload)

Achieving your goals can at times be overwhelming! Especially if you are already feeling overwhelmed and your to-do list is piling up!

Here’s four things I do every week to set myself up for success.

1. Schedule in training sessions
2. Meal prep/grocery shop
3. Pick on habit to focus on eg. Hitting daily steps
4. Set yourself some YOU time

How are we already over halfway through this year 👀

Those goals you set at the beginning of the year.. are you any closer? Have you hit them but then struggled to maintain?

If your serious about changing your lifestyle and habits then be consistent with it and I can guarantee you will see results!

Now is the time to prioritise you! You can start now by putting the work in for the rest of the year and walk into 2023 an improved version of yourself 🤩

Strength vs Hypertrophy.
What is the difference?

Strength training is essentially training with the specific goal of getting stronger.

Hypertrophy is training to increase muscle size.

These can be done simultaneously with the right programming and training variations.

Swipe for a quick debrief on the two variations of training 💪🏻
