Last year has been so different. So challenging. This time last year I was at the top of my performance, fitness, strength and my body was showing it all, proudly.
Today...I'm heavier, lost most of my shape, quite a chunk of my strength and fitness level. I am also so much more lost and feeling insecure. So many changes...
But TODAY also, I am strong enough to go through new journey again. The gym, life, finding myself. I am up for it all!
We all have fallen into dark places at some point in our life... we all have the choice to pick ourselves up and accept the fact that that is just life. And that we must not give up. You...we... are allowed to feel hopeless, weak, useless even. But please, don't let this last forever 🙏 fight for your mental wellbeing and happiness. No one else will do it for you.
Good things are waiting. We all started somewhere once. If you have fallen of the track (gym,nutrition, the way you look or anything else that may have slipped), you CAN get back to what you once had. Join me. I am starting it all again. Let's do it together ❤

WARM UP IS A WASTE OF TIME! (Read on!)
What is the point in adding extra 10-15 min to your workout if you can just go straight into the bench and start pressing with lighter weight? Time is precious. At the gym there is time for few things:
*chatting with the friends
*scrolling through social media
* spotting a friend
* going to the toilet mid set
* putting lots of weight plates on leg press (AND LEAVING THEM ON!)
* and few others I surely missed
So...Who would find time to WARM UP??? Right??
Oh... I forgot about ONE MORE THING... ➡️ there is ALWAYS time to GET INJURED. And at some point in your fitness career, it WILL happen. Why? BECAUSE YOU DON'T FIND TIME TO WARM UP 😬
Sarcasm aside. Let's get serious.
THE PURPOSE OF WARM UP AND WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT RELIGIOUSLY BEFORE EVERY SESSION:
🔥 ⬆️ your HR - gets your body ready for the stress you're about to.put it under
🔥 stimulates Central Nervous System - all movements are controlled by CNS and neuromuscular processes
🔥⬆️ core temperature - prepares you to use your strength and power safely
🔥 ⬇️ risk of injury - improper ex*****on of movements dramatically decrease recovery and create imbalances
🔥 ⬆️ neurological and biomechanical efficiency- improved body control and muscle fibres recruitment.
🔥 creates a mental state needed for the workout ahead.
Warm up is the opportunity for you to perform every movement BETTER and more EFFICIENTLY which transfers onto your strength and skill of movement.
Summary:
1. Raise (core temp. + HR)
2. Activate
3. Mobilise
4. Potentiate (prime CNS).
Only amateurs don't warm up. You're a pro though, right? 🙃
IF YOU HAVE NO TIME TO WARM UP, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND TIME TO HEAL YOUR INJURIES.
