Coaching with Casey

5 things I wish I could tell her 💞

Why is it so easy for us to pinpoint all the things we hate about ourselves?

When more time can be spent looking at the things we do… I tell you what, it feels much better 💞

5 acts of self care I do on the regular basis!

All of these are non negotiables, all the things that keep me happy, grounded and feeling good! I mean I absolutely love getting my nails done - it’s such a treat 💅 🤪

What do you do for self care regularly?! 🥰

Merry Christmas to all 🎄🥰
Hope everyone had a lovely day spending time with family and friends, had a good ole feed and is now sat playing games or watching Christmas movies with a nice full tum ❤️

Every step, stage, turn in life, whatever’s thrown your way, the last worry on your mind should be THE WAY YOUR BODY!

Years of dieting, trying to change to make myself happy when all I needed was ACCEPTANCE!

I’m more than my physical self, I’m a soul with a beautiful purpose and so are you!

Bored of the yo yo dieting, tired of not liking your reflection? Why not try a different approach? It’s called SELF LOVE!

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it 💪🏻

If you have a goal - don’t be scared to chase it, it could be the best thing you ever do 💜

HOW DO YOU STAY ON TRACK BUT STILL BE MUMMY, WIFE, FRIEND OR HAVE A CAREER?

Despite having different goals to my lifestyle clients - all of our goals require consistency and dedication! I understand the struggles of maintaining a balanced life for my daughter, being a partner and enjoying time with my best half, finding the time amongst work to go to the gym, to prep my meals! It can be hard but it is possible and can be made easier!

So heres 3 top tips for competing and lifestyle goals plus all that comes in between!

1. Time management and prep prep prep! Prep all your meals & batch cook meals for your family! So prepping my meals is an absolute non negotiable but I found making spag Bol, curries, casseroles for the rest of the family either freezing or keeping in the fridge for those times where I’m rushed or just don’t feel like cooking!

2. Eat with your family! For lifestyle clients there is no real reason you cannot continue to eat with your family! Keeping meals balanced and healthy and within your macros is absolutely perfect 😁 if you do eat different sit with your family whilst you eat different meals then you don’t feel like your missing out socially and on those nice moments where you all chat!

3. Prioritise the non negotiables and get organised! Get them done so your not left in the evening wanting to chill with your family but have cardio/steps/workouts to do! If you make it feel like a chore, it’ll become a chore! Find a time for everything including relaxation - for example then you know 8pm comes that your time to relax!

Client shout out to my gal Chloe Marshall]

HOW DO YOU STAY ON TRACK BUT STILL STAY SOCIAL?
A question I get asked a lot - my kind of training is very different to lifestyle goals however remaining consistent, dedicated and motivated are important for any goal!
So how do you hit your steps, stay on nutrition plan and for all your workouts in whilst maintaining a career, balancing family life and keeping social?!

1. Prioritising what’s important from the get go will help you to iron out what’s a must and what you can pull back on! E.G Spending time with family and friends is very important to me whereas binging Netflix series isn’t as important! So limiting my tv to a couple hours a week and taking my daughter out to the park would be more of priority!

2. Set boundaries of what you can do and still achieve your goals! In order to achieve your goals you may not be able to go out for coffee and cake 3 x a week however a cheat meal once a week will still allow you to see progress! Understanding the boundaries, you can prioritise special events with friends and family that you might want to save your cheat meal for or if you know your going to the cinema get up earlier to do your daily steps or workouts!

3. Improve your food relationships - Life doesn’t have to stop because your eating certain foods or you are prepping your daily meals! You can still meet friends at cafes and eat your prepped meal! Or opt for a picnic so they can eat what they want and you can have your meal! Also there are 1000 things you can do that do socially that dont involve food but being around foods and being able to enjoy your time without feeling deprived is a good feeling!

4. Time management and planning - take the time to prep your meals making them yummy and things that you like! Eating boring foods with no flavour are an absolute no go!! Eat throughout the day and don’t leave long periods between meals! This way if your out and about you won’t get caught in a situation where you’ll be super hungry and cheat on the plan!

5. Surround yourself with people that understand it’s important to you and support you! If your goals are important people that love you will think so to!

WHY DO I LOVE BEING A PT?

So it’s coming up to 6 years since I qualified as a personal trainer! Health and fitness has been apart of my life for about 7.5 years and it surprises most people that ended up down this path and in this career! To say the least keeping fit and being active wasn’t always natural to me but I heard a calling then the rest was history!

So what’s this to do with why I love my job?!

Personal training is a way for me to share my journey with others and while everyone’s journey is different the main aim is to help others feel healthy, confident and happy!

I love finding ways to help people find a way to keep fit that they love and enjoy - because like me that didn’t always come natural!

The secret is finding what works for you! Is it running? Circuit training? Cross fit? Bodybuilding? Yoga? Whatever it is there are so so many ways to move your body and feel good doing it!

If we can crack that secret - the rest will be history for you to! Keeping healthy, eating balanced nutritious foods and keeping active it doesn’t have to be a chore! It can actually become something you look forward to 💪🏻

So in a nutshell, helping others is what makes me love my job!
