Have you ever seen someone with a great body and asked, 'how did you do that?'

Guilty as charged 👆🏻

We're here to remind you today that EVERYONE is different

What might work for someone, may not work for you

There is no best or right way to balance your life and your fitness

Listen to your body

Figure out what works best for you

And stay consistent

👊🏻

We live in an era of mass information
…

Oftentimes we stumble upon fitness advertisements from seemingly knowledgable gurus in the fitness field.

12-week shred, 12-week flat tummy, five weeks to big biceps… We’ve all seen those programs.

But really, when it comes to consistent physical improvements, fitness trends are the LAST thing you’d want to follow.

Instead, rely on fitness principles and methods, instead!

Ever heard of the 80/20 rule?

Following something like this will allow you to enjoy fun foods in moderation (20%)

Whilst still making sure 80% of your nutrition is made up of nutritious food choices

You see...the more simple you make weight loss, the easier it will be to reach your goals

Plus, completely restricting yourself and cutting out fun food all together often leads to disaster
⠀
Simply use this 80/20 rule to remind yourself that the majority of food you consume should be nutritious 🍇🍏 🥕

It is very important to not give up after a bump in the road.

We all have setbacks, difficulties, and insecurities.

But it is overcoming these things that result in growth and allow us to appreciate the positives in life.

A few tips if you are feeling low ⬇️

Take a few moments this morning to consider 3 things you are grateful for
and/or
Get out of the house just for a walk

You see...

A client once said 'you should never underestimate exercise as an anti-depressant'

Just a walk a day will work wonders for both your physical and mental health🚶

There’s a multitude of reasons why you should avoid eating big meals right before a workout (20-30 minutes.)

First and foremost, digestion takes up a lot of energy, AND blood rushes to the stomach and intestines to provide the relevant systems with oxygen and transport the products of digestion.

So really, if you eat right before a workout, you’re robbing yourself of energy for performance and good pumps.

Second of all, a full stomach and a workout don’t go well together. Not only will you have less energy and less prominent pumps, but you will also feel more bloated, which is a no-no.

So, if you eat before a workout, make sure to leave a 2-hour window for the heaviest phases of digestion to pass!

"n the morning, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to eat a high-protein meal!
Such a meal will keep you fuller for longer and will allow you to go through your errands without thinking about food.
These are a few of our top high-protein choices.

"The answer is…. True!

Sunlight is essential for human health, and vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins that we get from the sun.
But did you know that cholesterol is key in vitamin D production?
When our skin is exposed to sunlight, it converts cholesterol into vitamin D.
Vitamin D serves many functions, but it's mainly related to the preservation of healthy bone tissue, besides many other cellular functions it supports.

The Little Things...

Stacking habits can be very beneficial and productive. And yes, I know it is raining today:)

The Little Things... [FIRST NAME GOES HERE], I’m a big believer in the “little things.” Small actions executed consistently – and imperfectly – produce the greatest and most sustainable success. Not swinging for the fences all the time and hoping for the best. In the fitness world – and I’ve been guilty of...
