Transform With Tabs Personal Training

A work-out that is appropriate (key word)

for the everyday gym goer (not a performance athlete or bodybuilding competitor)

who wants to get stronger and improve their overall health should absolutely feel like it’s challenging them but not to the extent that they have no remaining energy to tackle the rest of their day.

Don’t get me wrong we love an intense AF session 😮‍💨

BUT there’s are seasons where this is more appropriate than others

Etc a woman who is over stressed at her full time job, is raising 2 kids, trying to hold down the household and might also be in a calorie deficit

This would be a super duper inappropriate time to ramp up training intensity (another stress on the body)

It would be more appropriate and often more effective for someone in this predicated to focus on training at an interest that leaves them feeling better than they did when they walked into the gym 🙏

There is a lot of BS there out in the fitness industry, let’s unpack a few of the most common myths which the opposite is actually true

💪 “Lifting weights makes women bulky.” unless you are a genetic gift from god - lifting weights isn’t going to make you big and bulky. Lift makes builds muscle, and muscle mass takes up less space than body fat does. So, if you build muscle and lose body fat over time, your body composition changes dramatically and you will appear smaller.

🏃‍♂️ “You can’t lose body fat without doing any cardio.” - not true, the most important factors for losing body fat comes down to being in a deficit of calories which means you consume LESS energy then you burn throughout the day, which causes the body to tap into excess body fat stores. Yes, cardio burns calories and living an active lifestyle is important, but you do not have to do copious amounts of HIIT cardio or running daily to lose body fat. This may be causing you to overtrain, which is not a conducive state to preserving and building lean muscle.

🥵 “You should be sweating during a work-out in order for it to be building muscle or burning body fat.” - this is a really crappy way of measuring the success or efficiency of a training session. An effective work-out is one that is programmed specifically to you and your goals and designed so that you progress consistently over-time. Instead measure the effective based on your strength levels improving.

So here’s the rule of thumb, if you’re following something whether it be a training protocol or diet from the internet and it just doesn’t feel right - it’s probably not

Pls seek out a reputable and experienced fitness professional :-)

Most interactions with clients in session be like

Me: was that 8 or 10?

Them: idk I wasn’t counting

Me: uuuuhhmmm f**k go 2 more

I’m just a girly who can’t count properly 😌🤪

I’ve seen clients get to their desired weight on the scales, but still be unhappy (and I’ve been there too)

because when you’re tunnel vision focused on caught up in chasing this goal number, sometimes it’s not what it’s cracked up to be but yet you KEEP GOING in hope MAYBE you’ll feel that sense of achievement or happiness and navigating weight/fat loss like this can lead to developing very unhealthy behaviours and obsessive tendencies

So if the scales and body scans are doing your f*ckin head in, track your progress another way 👇
