How to maintain a balanced lifestyle when you’re trying to prioritise the gym

1. Nutrition: whether your goal is fat loss or muscle gain. Focusing on whole foods will make all the difference by keeping you full and making sure you’re getting enough protein, carbs, healthy fats and fibre.

2. Increasing your step count. Especially with working from home and sedentary jobs more and more people are moving a lot less. It’s a way to increase your cardio whilst keeping it low impact. Improving your sleep, digestion, fat loss, muscle tone and heart health. It’s also easy and free!

3. Keep your training simple. Don’t overcomplicate it with what you see on instagram, changing your workouts all the time. Allow your body to adapt to the movement. Focus on your compound movements before you start adding random exercises. That’s where you’ll see the most improvement.

4. Make sure you’re getting enough rest. It’s hard to maintain your exercise and living your life if you’re not getting enough sleep. There’s no medal at the end of the week for the longest work days and running on 0%. Prioritising sleep will help your focus, gym results, mood swings, motivation and so much more!

5. Don’t forget to make social plans and make memories. It’s not a healthy lifestyle if it’s unbalanced. 80% you’re on track 20% don’t forget to have fun 🕺🏼

To round up: keep what you’re doing simple and consistent 🚀

Let’s round up the week 🕺🏼

Finally got my AAC hoodie, which feels like the light at the end of the tunnel after a long time coming

10/10 coffee as always powering me through the day

After 2 and a half years of convincing I’ve finally tried collingham women’s football training.. and I loved it!! It was very good cardio and nice to try something new ⚽️

Happy Sunday peeps

Little bits and bobs & a catch-up 😌

Were fully back to training, making the most of the dry weather getting some walks in. The weather is slowly improving. Little bit of dancing, I’m now a professional barista 😏 and I’m absolutely loving the new activewear such a good affordable option! 🛍️

Last week of Feb tomorrow. Keep going with your goals don’t loose the momentum. Monday is a chance for a mini reset 🌱

DINNER edition

Sometimes you need a refresh of your weekly rotations so here’s some inspo 👩🏼‍🍳

1. Mini mid week roasts are becoming a weekly fave with the colder weather, adding whatever veg you like

2. Teriyaki salmon fillets, veg & rice

3. Homemade fish and chips for a quick tea. I use the M&S frozen cod fillets, homemade chips & a side

4. Pasta- homemade sauce so you know macros, add a protein of your choice

5. Homemade curry is also a new rotation. Again making your own sauce to manage macros

Do we want lunches next?? 🫐
