Doesn't it feel like the days are long but the years are short!?
.
Rushing.
Being late.
Having too much to do.
.
Either by taking to much on, or leaving everything to the last minute.
.
Results in massive overwhelm!
.
Try allocate 30mins a week...
.
To switch off your data.
.
Grab a coffee and something sweet (I budget roughly 350 cals in total) and just sit and watch the world go by.
.
Even put in your earphones and put on something you haven't heard in ages.
.
It'll allow you to get a hold of your week again,think about what's coming up and what you'll get done next.
.
Hours/days/weeks can fly by without you noticing, it's nice to sit back and breathe now and again!

We've all had it, we come across a photo from years ago and we wish we could look like that again.
.
Be it leaner, stronger, skinnier, smaller etc...
.
But we always forget we only kept the 'best' photo.
.
We're comparing the current, everyday us to a highlight of our past selves.
.
But we have to realise...
.
The person in the photo was living a different life.
.
Life changes, our priorities change with it.
.
That's ok...
.
That's natural...
.
Don't use old photos of yourself as a goal to obtain, use them as motivation.
.
Make the person in the photo, proud and excited of who they are going to be.

I'm not a huge fan of the term 'Summer Ready'

I feel it pushes the idea we aren't allowed near a beach until a certain thing ha s happened and that's not remotely true.
.
However, as a headline, it will catch our attention, so here we are.
.
Allow me to provide some helpful tips on becoming more content in ourselves come summer.

If I were to boil it down to 3 simple tips, this would be it.
.
We often get caught up with whats the best things to eat, or does meal timing matter etc..
.
The secret is in the simplicity.

We have busy lives and preperation isn't alway an option, but these 3 tips will help.

Let me start by saying, diet plans do work, in that if you can stick to it, you'll get in to the shape of your life.
.
However, a diet plan is not what 99% of us actually need.
.
We would have a longer lasting benefit from retraining how we precieve food and our relaionship towards it.

This is about what the client wants and what the coach knows they need.⁣
.⁣
What does that mean!?⁣
⁣
This is when a client has a goal, such as toning up for a wedding or a holiday for example.⁣
⁣
The expectation of the client is usually to have a lower calorie diet, cutting out treats and 5-6 intensive workouts with lots of jumping and hopping about.⁣
⁣
When I advise a higher calorie intake, inclusive of treats, shorter, but speficic training sessions and a high focus on sleep, It seems like it will be 'not hard enough'.⁣
⁣
This is when I, as the coach will explain that they have tried the 'hard way' many times in the past, yet they still haven't got what they wanted from it.⁣
⁣
A frustrating waste of effort and good intentions by the client.⁣
⁣
It's time for a different, lasting approach...⁣
⁣
This time, by working with me, my intention will be to have YOU, the client well fed, rested and training towards a specific outcome, with measureable metrics of improvement every week and most importantly, feedback on how the progress is going and what tweaks might need to be made and why.⁣
⁣
This is what transparency is, the WHY behind what we are doing.⁣
⁣
Just 'sticking to the process' without knowing the reasons behind it won't help us learn much.⁣
.⁣
Let me know if you're ready to made that change.⁣
.⁣
.⁣
Ps: not a dig any anyone ele's methods, we've all done it at some stage.⁣
.⁣

Have you heard of the 'Delay of gratification'? .

Have you heard of the 'Delay of gratification'?
.
It's the act of resisting an impulse to take an immediately available reward in the hope of obtaining a more-valued reward in the future.
.
The ability to delay gratification is essential to self-regulation, or self-control.
.
Perhaps it's not been the start you wanted, or maybe the timing hasn't been in your favour to get going on this goal...
.
That's cool, It happens...
.
But don't let too many Mondays go by..
.
They turn into weeks, months and years very quickly.
.
You'll always wish you had started 'back then'...
.
So, why not do the future you a favour and make a start now by trading in short term indulgences for long term rewards!
.
If you want a free calorie guide or even a quick chat with me directly about it, you can do either from the link in my bio!

Sometimes we don't think we're able!
.
But when we have a watchful eye on us, we can dig a bit deeper.
.
Maybe we don't want to let the person down, maybe we want to impress them...
.
Either way, we do it!! 😅
.
That one of the major things about training with a coach/in a group.
.
Even if you're not motivated, the motivaion will soon find you!
.
If you want to know more about training with us.
.
Just DM me the word 'Progress'

Thinking about what to eat this weekend...
.
In seriousness, it's good to take time to think.
.
Not about anything in particular, but to let your own thoughts formulate.
.
We are constantly on the go, with phones scrolling, netflix etc..
.
We're all guilty of seeing a post on twitter etc about something and taking that on as our own opinion.
.
We don't often let ourselves come to our own conclusions on things.
.
I guess that is something to think about!😅

When you are learning a new movement. . It can be

When you are learning a new movement.
.
It can be tricky, especially row variations and any hip hinge movements.
.
I feel it might be as those areas are behind us and we can't see what's happening, compared to a bicep or a quad (front of leg) for example.
.
When I'm showing these type of movements, I like to show how it looks when done correctly, show a common mistake to watch out for and then finish with another rep of how it looks correctly.
.
That's the visual cue.

Then I'll give a comparison to something it resembles in day to day life.
.
For example, the One Arm Row (In the photo) I compare the type of movement to that of opening a door that says 'Pull'.
.
We hook our hands on the handle and we move our elbow back.
.
I'll start here and refine as needed.
.
What movements do you struggle with and I'll see if I can help 👇

I may be a slightly biased here

But getting a coach/trainer was one of the best things ever I did for myself.
.
We wouldn't start driving on the road without someone showing us first (unless you're from Donegal)
.
So why would we start training without first being shown how to do so safely and effectively?
.
You'll be made feel comfortable in a new environment and not have to worry about what to do next as they'll guide you through every step of the way!
.
But, of course, always do your due diligence before hiring the services of one and make sure expectations are in alignment.
.
Also, be honest with what it is you are struggling with and be open to how your progress is going if you are training with them over time.
.
They can only work with the information you give them, so it's best to communicate fully so they can do their best.
.
What's stopping you contacting a trainer today?
