Getting back into a routine after a few weeks/month of chaos

This is a topic that I know that not only a lot of you can relate to but myself included.

So, you’ve had a few weeks where you’ve;
- Been poorly
- Had a bigger workload than usual
- Had a lot of social occasions to attended
- Feeling more tired than usual because of the above 👆🏻

Therefore, sticking to your regular routine, not only in the gym, but your general lifestyle can be a little difficult albeit, frustrating. First of all… this is life, it happens! You can’t always expect things in your life to go to plan.

Sometimes, it’s important we prioritise the other things like our social life AND workload. However, there can be a way around this but it will mean that you need to ditch that all or nothing mentality.

1. Can you swap an hour long gym session for a 30 minute home workout?
2. If the thought of doing your own workout this week feels difficult, could you perhaps join a class this week instead? Classes are usually time-capped and the accountability/booking if the class may be what you need that week.
3. Do you need to take a break from the gym and participate in another form of activity instead? Or both? Swimming/tennis/badminton/rock climbing/dance etc? Perhaps your relationship with the gym is becoming stagnant and you need something else alongside to keep your relationship with movement a positive one.
4. Set SMART goals and weekly “micro” goals. Instead of thinking long term all the term, perhaps set yourself a weekly target.
5. Schedule your workout time in your calendar. If you’re a chaotic queen like me and time passes you by without you realising, PUT YOUR SESSIONS IN YOUR CALENDAR.

I know it can feel frustrating but remind yourself why you are moving.

Personally, I move not only for my body but mainly for my brain 🧠. I know that a week of no activity/ increasing my heart rate will result in a lower mood. Therefore I make it a non negotiable.

On the contrary, sometimes a break is needed. If we are ill and tired we may need a few days more recovery in the week and we may need to evaluate the movement we are participating in.

Yes, this applies to me to.

If you have been given advice by a professional, you should be able to ask them why.

There’s a lot of one size fits all advice given out that people accept and don’t question but the advice given just doesn’t apply to them. Ask your trainer why you’re doing something if you’re curious. I don’t think asking them this questions has to mean you’re questioning their ability at their job, but you have the right to know why you are about to partake is something.

Part of the process is to educate and truly understand what you’re doing.

Training for me, is cathartic.

Or at least it’s that way now and has taken some time to get here.

On the journey it’s taken for me to get to the point where training is fun, mentally challenging and important to me I have had to recognise the importance of rest and recovery.

To train at an intensity that is satisfying but helps me get to where I’d like to be physically, it’s important to understand the science. There’s real comfort in scientific literature, or at least can be.

Actually understanding why my body does what it does, has improved my relationship with movement and therefore is something that never appears to be a “chore”. So here’s a massive 🖕🏻 to the BS that still lingers here and there in the online fitness world (although the mostly, the fitness industry can be and is an awesome community… just a few strong voices ruin it for others 😂).

I don’t do this to look a certain way, I do it for my 🧠 .

THE UNCOMFORT ZONE SERIES RETURNS....

As some of you know, I used to host a serious of workshops online during the national lockdown, called the “Uncomfort zone”.

The exciting news is, that I will be hosting them regularly as of this Friday! The workshops are a series of zoom calls where we discuss uncomfortable and often “controversial” topics amongst the fitness industry, as well as discussing some topics that often have a lot of misinformation surrounding them.

Workshops with be every Friday at 17:30 and will last 30 minutes. I would love to get as many people involved as people so we can collectively learn, educate and discuss these fitness related topics together! Please let me know if there are any topics you would love for me to discuss.

Here are the next two workshops;
20th August- The menstrual cycle and training
27th August- Busting fitness myths (answering your questions)

Who’s in?!

Review time!

Lovely words form this amazing lady.

“You want someone who will empower you and enable you to take control of your fitness journey, rather than using them as a crutch to above your goals”.

⬆️ This important to me as a trainer. Although I’d love to work with my team for ever and ever, I want to ensure each individual I work with knows how to navigate the world of fitness when I’m not there to help.

Happy Monday crew 🌞

You might find this post highly annoying and obvious but I’m just putting it out as a reminder to my fellow rejection-sensitive crew ✌🏻

Had a lot of conversations recently with people distraught that they’ve lost followers.

I used to be one of them!

It’s usually not always personal. Some people just may not want to view the content you’re posting. Some people need to set boundaries for themselves. Usually has nothing to do with you personally. Because if they’re strangers, they don’t actually KNOW you.

Also, if you have the “who ‘s unfollowed me” app… delete it now! 😆

CLIENT REVIEW 📝

Phase 1 of Liz’s journey ✅ Thank-you for putting your trust in me. I’m so excited to continue watching your progress.

“I've noticed that my strength has increased, that my recovery times are shorter, and I'm now starting to lift significantly heavier weights because of the bespoke core building workouts Chloe put together for me. I've engaged in my body in a way that I didn't know was possible, I'm more aware and conscious of my movements when working out and I wouldn't have achieved this without Chloe's guidance”

I feel it’s important to reiterate this on a Monday because unfortunately, it’s a lot of people’s go-to mindset/behavioural pattern.

“It’s ok, I can make up for a weekend if overeating by eating a lot less this week”.

Remember, that by skipping meals and drastically reducing your caloric intake, and cutting out your favourite foods in an attempt to avoid food guilt, is only going to cause a fixation on food.

Not only that, but your hungry body is only going to want to consume more later on (obviously). Cue the binge-restrict cycle.

So perhaps, instead of focusing on burning as many calories as you possibly can, focus on including lots of nutrient dense foods to your diet (including the foods you enjoy).

Take part in movement you enjoy and continue to be the bad ass you are ✌🏻.

If this is a regular occurrence for you, I know some wonderful nutritionists and dieticians that I highly recommend to help you build a better relationship with food.

*Assuming that your goal is to build glute strength- which is often when activation exercises are prescribed*

Remember, that there are situations where some movements classed as “activation” exercises can in fact be necessary! My issue is with handing out these movements as a “necessity for all”.

Inspired by the many awesome coaches I’ve seen post similar discussions around this topic and feel a responsibility to do the same.

I am absolutely calling myself out on this one ☝️ As an ex-lover of activation exercises to solve all 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Whilst my intentions were good and the “activation” exercises in most cases proved to “work” with clients, it’s because the main focus of their sessions was to strength train and perform movements that correlate with their gym based goals (I luckily have never prescribed a client half of their session time to mobilise but have absolutely given them things they didn’t need to, thus wasting precious lifting time).

Feeling/sensation in a muscle doesn’t necessarily mean that what you’re doing is “working”.

Now for some, performing some movements such as bridges and body weight hip thrusts etc before a workout that consists of heavier variations of these movement patterns can be helpful to incorporate the movement pattern and can be an awesome way to warm up.

But is 15-20 minutes of “activation” necessary? I’m going to say no….

Why?

Your glute muscles are “firing” or “activate” anyway when performing any time when you’re extending your hips.

In most cases, you just need to focus on strengthening them. To strengthen them, you did not need to perform a whole entire set of “activation” movements before hand. You need to lift heavy (heavy is relative to the individual).

However….

If you enjoy incorporating these particular movements to a warmup and they are satisfying to you then who’s to say you shouldn’t do them? All movement is great! I’m posting this for those who believe that in order to grow/strengthen flutes, you MUST spend a good quarter of your training time “activating”.

What’re your thoughts? 💭

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THOSE WHO TOOK PART IN THE POLL THIS MORNING!

I have been wanting to do a post on this for a while now but wanted to ensure I took my time composing it as I’m quite good at rambling 😆.

A lot of you messaged me and raised discussions over fitness trackers and negative relationships with them. Please read this post and let me know your thoughts 💭 🙏🏻 😊
