It's very easy on a Monday to set yourself 20 goal

It's very easy on a Monday to set yourself 20 goals for the week, to be better, stick to something, try harder.

The problem with this approach is we quickly start "failing" as the days and other tasks become overwhelming.

Then the brain flicks to "screw it, I'm done with this healthy eating, exercise stuff, I'll start again next week"

The cycle goes on and on.

TRY ONE THING. JUST ONE.

For the entire week. Just focus on one thing.
THAT'S ACHEIVABLE.
And you will feel amazing for making progress, winning feels good right?! It builds your confidence.

Then stick with it, until you think you can focus on, and take on another ONE THING.

What's your ONE THING for this week?

Google intermittent fasting and you will quickly find yourself down a black hole of "how to" and "how not to" do it.
There is almost too much information to make sense of if you just want to know some basics.
My stance on it is; try it, if you like doing it, if it helps you to feel better and maintain/improve your health, do it. Otherwise don't 🤷‍♀️

So, the basics:
Unfortunately a lot of resources provide quite a rigid or strict approaches to IF but...
👉 it can be and should be flexible. You make it work for you.

👉 Your body will tell you what is the "right way to do it". The feedback on that is, how you feel.

FIRSTLY, extend time in between your meals. This could simply mean skipping snacks and focusing on 3 main meals. If you've got that sorted, delay your first meal of the day as long as you can, until you feel truly hungry.

👉 When you do consume your daily meals, you still need to consume your total daily macro/micronutrient/energy needs, so dont skimp on meal size.

That's where I would start whilst you're learning and practicing.
Learning is valuable, but taking action on what you learn is more important.

NOTE: if you are properly hungry, shaking, tummy grumbling, and you are say 2 hrs away from when you plan to eat, then you need to eat!
Females tend to have less tolerance for extended fasting. So I would lean towards 12-16 hr fasts, instead of 24hrs.

Tight Neck? Sore shoulders.? Headaches? Aching low

Tight Neck?
Sore shoulders.?
Headaches?
Aching lower back?

These can all be related to poor posture: sitting at the computer, using your phone, washing the dishes, holding babies, watching tv, driving, all take up a lot of our day.
And if you notice, when you're doing any of these things, I'm guessing it's not often with perfect posture 😉

Stretch & Strengthen!

Aim for 3-4 sets, reps will depend on your strength and what resistance you are using. Aim for control and engagement, so I wouldn't go crazy heavy, around 10-12 reps. You can do these every day, ideally, or every 2nd day.

NOTE: if you are experiencing PAIN, tingling, sharpness or numbness, this isnt normal. Please seek out assistance from you allied health practitioner. _______________________________

Well....
We were hoping for news of reopening the studio on the horizon. Seems the horizon has been blasted a few months in the future.

Good news though, we will be able to reassess the possibility of outdoor training options at the end of the month, in the meantime....

Exercise is such a huge part of our mental health and physical wellbeing. It's our kickstart to the morning, our laugh with friends, our timeout from reality, our routine, our stress relief, our coping strategy...it isn't just exercise.
You don't have to move mountains, you just have to keep moving.
If you are struggling with motivation or need some help or have been "waiting" for gyms to reopen. Please dont wait. Please reach out, we would love to help you.

And a huge thankyou to our crew! You're all amazing, and you're keeping us going as much as we are for you.

See you on the zoom next week ✌xxx
