In the beginning it may feel like your efforts aren't worth the results, but before long the results will keep coming and your effort will feel easier and easier!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Don't stop because of slow progress, acknowledge that it is still progress .

To achieve something different to what you currently have, you have to do something different to get there.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Want to be fitter? You need to change your current actions around exercise.​​​​​​​​
Want to lose weight? You need to change your habits around what food you eat and how much you eat.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sounds simple but it makes so much sense.

Abi's Success Story​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
After booking a holiday in the near future we had a tight timescale for Abi to feel her best before being in a bikini and evening dresses.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
With a fairly strict diet plan, which still allowed for a couple of social occasions and alcoholic drinks, and an intense workout regime Abi lost over 1stone in 12 weeks, and dropped around 2 dress sizes (brand dependent). But most importantly she felt incredible in how her body looked and performed as her strength and fitness improved so much in the 3 months we worked together.

With everyone hitting the gym in the new year I wanted to share some thoughts and opinions on the importance of warming up and cooling down after exercise. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

STOP RELYING ON MOTIVATION!!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Your habits will take you further than your motivation ever will. Relying on motivation is sporadic, unpredictable and inconsistent - probably the three worst things for making any kind of progress 😅​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Create strong, positive habits and you'll be amazed at how much you progress!

Exercising just to burns calories is like going on the road trip of a lifetime just to us up fuel in your tank.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There are so many benefits to exercise that going just to burn calories is like ignoring the best parts of a road trip! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A road trip will use up fuel, just like exercise will burn calories but they're not the main reasons you do them!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Focus on the more important, and more enjoyable, parts of exercise.

Vanessa's Success Story!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Being a mum of two, and having a busy and stressful job Vanessa not only found it difficult to exercise, but she was conscious to start. Not knowing where to begin we began working together the end of January, and by the end of March she was adding in extra sessions, joining classes and loving every second of being active.

We first focused on the basics of exercise and nutrition and found some easy wins already in her daily routine and we took advantage of them. Losing 7kg / 15.5lbs in just 8 weeks, Vanessa grew in confidence inside and outside the gym and rediscovered her love of exercise and activity.

Four ways to think about things when they go wrong.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Write it off - you can't change it so holding on to it can't help you.​​​​​​​​
Focus on your response - life is 10% what happens and 90% of how you respond to it.​​​​​​​​
Take responsibility - when you take responsibility you give yourself power to make improvements for next time.​​​​​​​​
Use it as fuel - learn from your mistakes, plan better, try harder.

A gentle reminder that just because it's January doesn't mean you can't enjoy tasty foods like these pancakes! These pancakes are high in protein, but you don't need protein to make them healthy or delicious​​​​​​​​

Progress takes time, and it is very rarely linear. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There will be ups and downs, peaks and troughs. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There will be times when it feels like you're fighting an uphill battle and other times it'll feel like you're running downhill.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But if you stop when things get tough, you forfeit your current progress and force yourself to start all over again in the future. Instead use this tough time to learn and improve for the future.

Taz's Success Story​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Tax came to me as a self-confessed carb lover! She loved pasta and potatoes in any form and she always felt like this would be her downfall forever. Instead, we took time to understand nutrition and the food she was naturally eating and make some small adjustments.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Taz ate the same number of carb heavy meals whilst we worked together as she had previously, except this time we maybe reduced the portion size each time, or we adjusted the recipe ever so slightly to include more veg and less higher calorie ingredients. Simple swaps, easy wins.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Taz lost 14 lbs in 12 weeks. Not only did she lose a stone she was fitter in her cardio sessions, stronger in her weights sessions and most importantly, so much more confident stepping into the gym and choosing meals she enjoyed and that worked for her.

Think I took Christmas too far 😅

Listen to your own logic.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
One day of work doesn't make a career, and one day off doesnt mean you're sacked.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
One workout doesn't make you fit, and one missed session doesn't mean you lose your fitness.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
One salad doesn't make you healthy, one burger doesn't make you unhealthy.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Look at the average of your actions to determine your future outcomes.

The difference between intensity and consistency.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You will go further, and find things more enjoyable when you focus on making it sustainable and consistent.

Life isn't good or bad. It's just life.​​​​​​​​
Food isn't good or bad. It's just food.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How you perceive is what matters.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you see things as being good or bad you will naturally have positive or negative feelings towards it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
See them for what they are and have clearer view on how to handle them.

Remember this when you start your new diet and gym routine in the new year.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Ever bought something cheap to save some money, then had to go and buy the more expensive thing anyway because the cheap version didn't work? Same applies here.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Doing it properly will be hard, but doing it over and over (and over) will be harder so you may as well do it right the first time and from the start.

Merry Christmas from MH Fitness!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I hope you all have the best time with your loved ones!​​​​​​​​

🎄🎅🏻

Something to remember during the Christmas period.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Your diet is not made or broken over the festive period, take the pressure off. Enjoy the time with friends and family, but don't hesitate getting back into your positive habits and routines just because you've not been perfect!

​​​​​​​​
A good reminder of the important parts of fat loss before Christmas! Remember you will gain some weight, your clothes will feel a little tighter over the next week but it's important to remember why its happening and how you can manage it to suit your festive choices​​​​​​​​

Too many people, take way too long trying to be too perfect.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Your best is enough to see great results, you don't have to be the best.

Jordan's Success Story​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
After struggling with her weight in her 20's Jordan wanted to change the way she approached the gym and diet to help her look and feel fantastic, and she achieved it!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Jordan loves being sociable and met friends regularly as well as having social occasions to contend with, we took a flexible approach to dieting and she took a determined approach to her training, never giving up or letting anyone outwork her.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
With a weekend in Ibiza thrown in the mix, Jordan felt confident in her bikini and going out in the evenings and didn't feel any sense of guilt for enjoying herself as she learned and felt confident she could get straight back Ito her healthy habits and routines once she was back home.

Being consistent is the most powerful thing you can do to achieve success.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Have you ever heard of someone that failed when they never gave up?

​​​​​​​​
My favourite breakfast so I had to create a recipe for it with perfect poached eggs and creamy avocado! Perfect for the weekend or after a workout.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Link to the recipe in my bio 🔗

"I'll start Monday."​​​​​​​​
"Once the kids go back to school, I'm on it."​​​​​​​​
"Works just so busy, I'll wait until it's less hectic."​​​​​​​​
"I've got too many social occasions at the moment."​​​​​​​​
"New Year, New Me. That gym isn't ready for me in 2023!"​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you always wait for the perfect time you'll never get started

Something always comes and ruins it!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​There is never a perfect time with no temptations or distractions!

New Recipe: Avocado on Toast with Perfect Poached Eggs 🥑​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Probably my favourite breakfast. I find this breakfast filling, a little fancy and nutritious. Poached eggs can be tricky but these are perfect and leave you with a silky runny yolk. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

New Blog Post: Comparison is the Thief of Joy​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I see it all the time with clients, but also people I speak to about the gym or their fat loss goals. The compare their success with those of others and it suddenly makes their own progress seem smaller and not as impressive. But comparing your progress with someone else will steal your joy and could ruin your progress. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

What comes easy, won't last.​​​​​​​​
What lasts, won't come easy.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Which would you prefer?

Take a break before you're broken.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Letting yourself run down to an empty battery is a recipe for disaster.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When you're down to almost empty you increase your chances of injury, illness, poor decisions, and temperamental mood swings. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Catching that early can help you balance things, stay on track and avoid burning out
