Train with Liesl

I often see people burning out because they’re constantly on an intense shred or an intense bulk. There is one very important aspect of these training cycles that seems to get forgotten - MAINTENANCE.

At the end of the day having an intense chunk of time for a specific goal is ok as long as it is limited. If you find yourself yo-yo-ing because you’re aiming for an unsustainable lifestyle this is more damaging than just being realistic and sticking to your maintenance or giving yourself a longer time to reach this goal.

Do yourself a favour and take the pressure off. Stop yoyo-ing between shredding and bulking and in the end reaching neither goal.
Remember that you won’t spend the whole 12 months of a year on a goal-focussed plan. Some of those months need to be maintenance-only to give your body and mind time to rest, reset and just be.

Not sure if you’re over-doing it or focusing on the right thing? 🤔 DM for help.

Look at that 🍑 progress. What does she say? “It just keeps growing”. ⁠⠀

Always ask if you have questions and more importantly ask if you need help! You can only do your best with the information you currently have. If someone has a poor reaction to your question that really says more about them than it does about you. 😘 🤡⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So if something training or nutrition related has been on your mind – ASK AWAY – I’m happy to help if I have the answer and I’m only a DM away 📚 📩 ⁉️⁠⠀

You need to set the bar just right. In exercise and in life. 😏⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you set your sights too high, the psychology of ‘failure’ might slow you down. If you set your goals too low, you might lure yourself into a false sense of security. Set yourself small, yet challenging goals and let the momentum of accomplishing those goals take you to where you want to go. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here is an example: very often when people join the gym and start training they have so much drive and so much motivation. They might say their goal is to train 5 times per week. This is a great goal, however, going from 0 times to 5 is a massive change. What often happens is they will train 1-3 times and then feel demotivated because they have ‘failed’. Now their psychology changes and they might even give up all together. Going from training 0 times to even training once is a great improvement and if that was their goal they would have felt accomplished. On the flip side if your aim is to only train once and you continuously reach that goal you will need to constantly revaluate to keep making progress. ⁠⠀

The brain and human nature are tricky things. 🤯⁠⠀

Do you find yourself avoiding certain exercises? 🤔⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I often find the things people avoid are what they find difficult and therefore probably exactly what they need the most. If you only train to your strengths you will never address your weaknesses. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This can go for anything. 👆⁠⠀
Do you only train upper or lower body? Do you avoid overhead movements? Not making any time to stretch? Would you rather jump out of a plane than do 20 minutes of cardio?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🤸 Here are 3 strategies to help! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
1. Understand why you are avoiding the exercises. If it’s because it’s difficult, learn to push through and know it will get easier. Don’t ignore other reasons like pain, discomfort or lack of confidence. Get the assistance you need to balance your training. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2. Make a plan and stick to it. Write up what you are going to do and follow your plan (even when you don’t feel like it). Make sure you include your rest times so you don’t spend ½ your workout chatting or scrolling. 😂⁠⠀
⁠⠀
3. Get an outside (unbiased) opinion. Get someone to look over your training plan and give you feedback. Even as a qualified trainer I still prefer to have my workouts written by someone else – it’s just far too easy to convince yourself (subconsciously) that you didn’t include lunges for any reason other than you just don’t like em. ⁠⠀

COVID-19 SAFETY FOR TRAINING SESSIONS 😷:

Training in the gym IS SAFE as long as EVERYONE follows the current guidelines and gym rules! 🤝

Here are a couple of things that have changed and are MANDATORY to comply with:
- You MUST bring a towel to place on equipment
- The water fountain is no longer accessible so you will need to bring your own filled water bottle
- 1.5m Distancing applies at ALL times
- There is ZERO equipment sharing
- Please use the hand-sanitiser provided upon entry
- Do not wait at the door more than 5 minutes prior to your session start time. Please remain in your car.
- After your session you will be asked to leave ASAP; any socialising will have to be done outside the gym and away from the entry.
- Do not attend sessions if you feel unwell.

As your trainer I would also recommend the following actions as extra safety precautions:
- Bring an extra towel to wipe your face that does not need to touch the equipment
- Place your belongings (keys, wallet, water bottle etc.) in a gym BAG as the cubby holes are NOT TO BE USED.
- If you have a gym mat, bring it to every session. I would also recommend bringing in your own foam roller and resistance bands due to limited supply.
- Avoid using the gym toilet unless absolutely necessary. There will be NO ACCESS to showers.
- Please wipe down your equipment after use. We are cleaning ALL equipment before and after all uses - but this way it gets a double clean.
