My current fitness goals🤍🤍

Thought I’d share an update on my training as I haven’t done one in a while☺️

- I’m really enjoying spin classes at the moment so I’m aiming to add those into my routine, although they’re usually on at the times I’m working so when I get a cancellation or have a gap I’m able to go, if not I’ve been using the spin bike in the gym a little more.
- Still focusing lots on strength training
- Adding a focus on core strength and Pilates as well
- Rehabing my shins and calves more as I’m still determined to be able to run and finallyyyy do a hyrox🤞🏼
- From this week I will be cutting down a tiny bit of what I eat in prep for the summer☀️

Weekly dump even though it’s late😅

So nice to do some walks and sit outside last week, a week of good workouts and some good food as well☺️

Here is my advice for menopausal women to start building muscle, which is so important as it has so many benefits like helping to reduce injury and improve your metabolism. Plus toning and losing fat too.

Thought I’d share my fitness goals this January, and what I’m going to be trying to work on in this new year💪🏽🥙

An average day of eating on a slight calorie deficit🥙🍗.

Some days I eat differently and more or less, and these macros are just an estimate, and are based on my bmr and my muscle mass so they’re just suggestions!!

This food:
🥙Keeps me more full,
🥙High in protein for building and retaining muscle,
🥙Gives me the energy I need to train,
🥙I really enjoy it,
🥙Doesn’t cut out all the things I love.

(These are just suggestions and the protein is a rough estimate and depends on portion sizes).

Holiday prep week one☀️💪🏽

This weeks fitness recap-
Lots of upping cardio, hyrox class, and eating being more on track, plus increasing the protein!!

.

💪🏽WEEKLY RECAP🍽️

-Back at barrys whilst in Manchester❤️
-Hyrox style session even though we weren’t able to get tickets this time, hopefully can soon☺️
-Trying new protein snacks, this was nice but a bit too milky for me😅
-Post workout protein bar, these bars are so good if you’re a bit fussy when it comes to protein bars
-2nd 5 k run
-Miller and Carter unreal as always🙂.

TOP TIPS IF YOU’RE BORED OF YOUR WORKOUTS:

This is so common, as sometimes when we stick to one style of training it can become repetitive, as to see some progress usually that’s what we need.

💤Take a week off- this will not make you lose all of your progress, and the rest might be what you need to get motivation back. Sometimes we need a rest even when we don’t think we do.
🏃🏼‍♀️Take a couple weeks trying some different training styles, for example running, yoga or some new classes, you might find something you want to incorporate into your routine.
🗒️Completely change your gym routine with new exercises, I wouldn’t recommend doing this too often, just when you feel like you’re stuck in a plateau or it has been the same for a while.
💪🏽Switch up your split, you can keep the same exercises but just switch the days you do them, for example instead of doing back and bis doing an arm day.
🔥Look back at the progress you have achieved, it might help you feel more motivated and if you’re not seeing the progress that you want, you might need to change something in your workout style.
🤍Booking in a session with a pt can give you some fresh ideas suited to you, and may even fast track you to where you want to be.
