"Getting abs is a goal many of us strive for, but it's not always easy.😔

Common mistakes on the road to achieving a strong core include relying solely on crunches, not consuming enough protein, neglecting other muscle groups, and not getting enough rest.👍

Remember, abs are made in the kitchen and in the gym. A balanced diet, consistent exercise routine, and proper recovery are key to reaching your ultimate goal. Keep pushing, you've got this!💪.

"Are you looking for a great cardio workout that will get your heart rate pumping and help you burn calories to@get you lean for summer? Look no further than the stair master! 😍 This machine is one of the best ways to get your cardio in, and here's why: it's low-impact, which means it's easier on your joints than running or other high-impact cardio exercises. Plus, you'll work your glutes, hamstrings, and quads, all while getting a great cardio workout. 🏋️‍♀️ So next time you're at the gym, hop on that stair master and feel the burn! 🔥

❤ 💪

Are you ready to build bigger, stronger arms? 💪🏋️‍♂️ Try incorporating alternating dumbbell curls into your workout routine! This exercise is a great way to target your biceps and improve your overall arm definition. 🔥

To really push yourself, aim to do 4x sets of 8-12 reps until failure. This means lifting a weight that is challenging enough to complete the set, but not so heavy that you can't reach your target reps. 💥

So grab some dumbbells and give this exercise a try! Your arms will thank you later. 😉 **k

Choices, choices, choices…
When the social distancing mandate is lifted and we all emerge from our homes, you’re going to notice that many people put on weight during this stressful time. And it’s hard to blame them.

Because fitness is hard.

It’s hard when life is normal, let alone when the world is on lockdown causing our stress to steadily rise and tempting us to turn to comfort food.

Every day we have choices to make, and these choices take us closer to a fit and lean body or farther from a fit and lean body.

Exercise or NO Exercise?

Lace up your shoes and take a run or do a body weight workout instead of getting extra sleep, watching TV or doing whatever else it is that you’d rather be doing. Do this 3-5 times each week for 30-60 minutes.

OR

Spend your spare time being as sedentary as possible. The less that you use your muscles, the more aches, pains and mobility limitations you’ll experience. Oh, and if you’re consuming more calories than your natural metabolism burns then you’ll steadily gain weight.

Eat for TASTE or for NUTRITION?

Choose your meals based on the nutritional makeup rather than following your taste buds. Limit your intake of simple carbohydrates and get lots of protein and fibre in each meal.

OR

Eat whatever sounds and tastes good. The human palate is naturally drawn to items that are high in sugar, salt and fat. Your eat-whatever-diet will be filled with these fattening foods and will be lacking in protein and fibre. You’ll find your weight increases, and your energy levels plummet, accordingly.

Say YES or NO to Junk Food?

Turn down your favourite junk foods even when you really, really want it. Cut simple sugars and harmful, processed fats out of your diet completely.

OR

Solve your stress with your favourite junk food. As I mentioned above, your favourite foods are likely high in sugar, salt and fat. Or, more likely, your faves are high in all three! Your indulgent eating is going to raise the number on your scale higher, and higher, and higher.

Push HARDER or Get COMFORTABLE?

Push your body to be stronger, faster and better during each workout. Don’t simply go through the motions in your routine consistently challenge your muscles to do more each day.

OR

Your goal is to be comfy. This means use as little muscular strength as you can on a daily basis. When you don’t use your muscles they begin to atrophy (shrink!), leaving you with less lean tissue. Since lean tissue raises your metabolism, a drop in lean tissue means you’ll be burning fewer calories at rest than ever before.

Count Calories or More is Better?

Limit your total calories to within an appropriate range for your size and goals. Remember, even healthy calories can add up to weight gain when you’re not careful.

OR

There’s no limit on how much you eat in fact more is better. As a result you often feel sluggish from your overloaded digestive system. And your motivation to exercise get fit becomes dimmer and dimmer.

So which choices will you make? And just because you’re stuck at home right now doesn’t mean that your body won’t be seen in the near future.

Concentrate on discipline, motivation and determination. Do the right thing rather than the easy thing. Most of all, constantly strive forward.

You can do this!

Do you have dreams that you haven’t yet achieved?
Do you have a list of accomplishments yet to be checked off your to-do list?

Can you picture your dream self - a version of you that you would be proud of?

It’s pretty easy for most of us to notice and fixate on our flaws. You could probably rattle off a dozen things that you’d like to change about yourself.

But what about your aspirations? How clearly can you see these? And what about the daily behaviors needed to achieve your aspirations?

Humans are wired to be dreamers. We crave growth and desire to evolve. However it’s easier said than done, for a couple of very simple reasons:

1. You Aren’t Clear Enough On Your DESIRED OUTCOME
2. You Don’t Install The NECESSARY HABITS To Reach Your DESIRED OUTCOME

Without these two steps, our aspirations are simply hopeful ideas that float around in our heads, occasionally popping up in the front of our minds without giving us any way of achieving them.

DESIRED OUTCOME: What exactly is it that you want to achieve? Being healthier or looking more fit or getting ber are too general to be impactful targets. Your brain needs to have a very clear picture of your exact desired outcome so it can determine the necessary habits needed to achieve it.

• Being healthier by going on a walk every night after dinner.

• Looking more fit by eliminating refined sugar from my diet.

• Getting ber by doing 50 push-ups every morning.

NECESSARY HABITS: It’s natural to think about the ultimate outcome that we want rather than focusing on the necessary habits that could get us there - but when you stop to think about how achieving outcomes works, it is all about the daily grind of necessary habits that get you there.

Let’s say there’s a cafe one mile down the road from your house and you want to go there for lunch. You can imagine yourself sitting there, enjoying their famous soup and fresh salad with a glass of iced tea. The cafe is where you want to be, but you’re still sitting at your house with a full mile of sidewalk standing between you and your desired outcome.

Do you stay home and daydream about that great lunch or do you walk there and get it?

To get to the cafe you must simply start walking in the right direction. One simple step after another.

Taking repeated steps is the necessary habit to reach the desired outcome of sitting in the cafe, enjoying a wonderful lunch.

This goes for anything that you want to achieve. Find the necessary habit that will move you in the right direction, day after day, and you will achieve your desired outcome.
