Been wondering where my random bruise on the top of my forearm has come from...

Kettlebell clean and presses 🤣

Do you wear your gym bruises with a badge of honour or hate them 🤡

⭐HELF⭐

Sometimes it's just about filling your plate with some fresh veggies (and also yummy carbs and cheese of course) to help you feel better 👌

What's your favourite go-to healthy meal?

Throwin' it back to living room workouts during lockdown and glad to be back at the gym with the squad 😎

Are you guys back at the gym 100% now or a hybrid of home and gym workouts?

Never in a million years…

… did I think I’d be “that” person who happily woke up naturally, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day at 6am (or before!).

If, for you, that sounds awful, have you considered WHY it sounds so awful?

Could it be because you get to bed late, with your mind buzzing, have bad quality sleep and so the idea of waking up at 6am means you’d feel crap all day?? 😴

Why not try and improve your sleep hygiene and see what happens to your energy levels.

Putting a sleep schedule in place is something I do with all of my clients and myself. Having a routine helps your circadian rhythm stablise and work WITH your body’s processes, not against them.

⭐ Why does this work?? ⭐

When you maintain a stable rhythm irrespective of the scenario (you’ve gotta do it at weekends too, I’m afraid!), you’ll often start waking up moments before your alarm.

And here's the sciencey bit... 🔬

This is down to your PER1 and BMAL1 genes. About an hour before your body anticipates waking up, it raises the levels of a protein called PER in your blood, as well as increasing your body temperature and blood pressure.

⏰ Your alarm clock is a stressful event (!) so your PER and stress hormones start to rise earlier to avoid this, resulting in you waking up sometimes seconds before your alarm!!

On the other hand, PER levels fall at night and cause your biological system and heart rate to slow down, as well as your mental processes winding down.

When you throw out that timing, your sleep and routine get disrupted, and your mental and physical output are hindered too!

So why not try and work WITH your body rather than against it, and maybe waking up naturally, feeling refreshed and energetic won’t sound so bad after all.

⭐⭐ Sunday funday ⭐⭐

I used to struggle to stick with my routine of eating the right foods and being as focused as I needed to on a Sunday.

By the time Sunday rolls around I'd worked really hard during the week to get all of my workouts done and Sunday always felt like a "limbo" day where I had to refill the fridge, plan my weeks food, and rest for the week ahead.

But I've realised that by saving a training session for a Sunday actually starts off my day perfectly, I zone my focus straight away, I have a chilled workout with no rush for time, and then my day just flows after that.

Do you train on the weekend? Let me know below 👇👇

Sustainability doesn't mean being able to follow your strict diet and tracking every day for the rest of your life!

It means learning about yourself and what you absolutely thrive on, so you can genuinely tap into what you really need and have confidence that you know what works for you.

My program doesn't just help you manage your bodyweight, together we learn how your body works and what you need to really excel and feel amazing 🙏

⭐ Body recomposition & self confidence ⭐

I can't help but share with you the amazing transformation that this lovely lady is making.

She first joined Active Nutrition because she wanted to make a big change. She felt like she didn't know how to progress with her diet and training, and wasn't confident enough to go in the cliquey body builder gyms local to her!

Since working together, she's listened to every word that's come out of my mouth (she's very patient 🤣) and implemented exactly what I've asked her to, at every turn.

I genuinely think she's the only person that has never, and I mean NEVER, missed her step target 🤣

Not only does she look FIT if I do say so, she's absolutely transformed her self confidence, so much so that she's talking about joining one of those bodybuilder gyms she was previously too nervous of (💪💪), she's improved her sleep quality, and got a fantastic grasp on eating well but balancing it with the things she loves!

I'm so proud of this one and can't wait to see how she progresses moving forwards 🙌🙌

⭐Personal & professional development⭐

As of today, I am solely an online coach.

The decision to stop offering face to face personal training was a tough one, but the results my online clients get with my coaching program and support is so much more predictable than a random gym session every now and again with nothing in between.

One of the biggest benefits I've seen already on day 1 is the added benefit of the extra budget which previously went into the pockets of the gym bigwigs somewhere 🤑, that I now have available and ready to spend on the things that will help me improve as a coach, which will ultimately improve my clients' experience and results!

💥 So already I've attended one training session to help me bring even more structure to my coaching, and I've got another booked in which will support me in dialling in on the right nutrition strategy at the right time for my clients 💥

The extra time I have available will be used to further improve my service, programs, support my wonderful existing clients, and offer them as many tools and as much educational material as I can to help them learn, not just follow.

I'm excited about where my business is going and want to thank all of my lovely clients who smash it day in, day out 🥰

When you're struggling through your last reps and it hits you that over the last 12 months you've lost more body fat than the weight you're currently lifting...

It powers you through!

⭐Eating your favourite foods while on a diet⭐

A "diet" means different things to us all.

To some, it's a way of losing weight.

To others, it spells restriction.

To me, "diet" simply defines what you eat.

When you understand the energy balance equation, that to manage your weight you need the right balance of calories in (food and drink) vs calories out (activity), you can make it work for you.

I'm not saying it's that simple.

Yes, a calorie deficit will help you lose body fat. But if I told you to "just eat less and move more", would that help you?

Of course it wouldn't!

You've got a busy job, you've got commitments, you've got hormones, you had a bad night's sleep, you have a social life!

It's not the calorie deficit that's important.

It's the strategies you put in place to achieve that calorie deficit WHILE living your busy, non-stop life, and making it easy on yourself!

Want to know how I can help you build those strategies and make your diet work for you, not the other way around?

⭐LIFESTYLE CHANGE⭐

This is one of my lovely clients. She came to me at the end of 2020 with no direction, no motivation, but with goals to improve her lifestyle, feel better in herself and about herself, and drop a dress size.

In our very first check in, she told me she hadn't done her workouts that week because she was feeling "tired and lazy".

Fast forward to the last 6 weeks, and without fail every single check in her feedback has been
"I feel so happy and amazing"
"I have loads more energy"
"I feel really good about myself"

💬 So what has she done to get here??

She's been absolutely consistent with her nutrition, taking my advice and becoming more self-aware about the impact different types of food have on how she feels.

She smashes her workouts (even the dreaded split squats 😈) and even though sometimes it's a struggle she still works to achieve more every week.

She's improved her sleep quality, is drinking more water, and moving more even with her new desk job.

Yes, there are blips. Yes, every now and again she tells me she's not been as organised as she should be and she feels like she's fallen down a little.

But with regular communication, honesty and transparency between us, and seeing those changes happening before her eyes, she has put her trust in me to keep her moving forwards.

This is one that I'm honestly so proud of and can't wait to see what she can achieve when we level up again over the next couple of months! 💯💥
