Want to get more from your training?
_
Stop ignoring your nutrition
_
More specifically, your nutrient timing aka when you eat what
_
Yes you can make progress and have successful sessions, but if there was something relatively easy to implement that you could do to make them better, you'd do it right?
_
Some things you can do to support your training šŸ‘‡
_
1ļøāƒ£ Eat a carbohydrate rich meal prior (~ 1hr before) to training - something that you enjoy and that digests well
_
2ļøāƒ£ Don't 'save' food for the end of the day and have very little during the day, prioritise carbohydrate around training and get regular meals in.

3ļøāƒ£ Hydrate - exercise performance is impaired by dehydration and it is harder to rehydrate during a session than it is to maintain a good level of hydration throughout the day
_
4ļøāƒ£ Quality of food in general matters, and probably more than you think - adequate micronutrient intake supports muscle function along with growth and repair
_
5ļøāƒ£ Consider intra-workout carbohydrates if you're completing particularly long sessions - think 1hr+ of high intensity, long runs etc
_
(Not so) coincidentally, a lot of these things support your general health and wellbeing and often help you be more concentrated and feel less fatigued throughout the day
_
These are the kind of things I discuss with clients to help them get the most from their training, along with feeling healthier in general

Coaching is more than just a set of exercises, sets and reps.

Feeling confident and enjoying exercises has been very important here and allowed us to make a lot of progress both mentally and physically in a short space of time.

High calorie foods and how to add them to your diet šŸ˜‹
_
Including calorie dense foods (foods that don’t have much volume but have a high calorie content) in your diet can be helpful to make sure you hit your calorie goals, especially if you’re trying to increase your weight or you usually forget to eat when you’re busy.
_
Nutrition still matters regardless of goals and it can be easy to fall into a trap of increasing calories through less nutritions options. Including a range of foods in your diet is always key to success.
_
Swipe through the slides above for a few food suggestions if you’re struggling to hit your calorie goal

You’re not a robot - you don’t need to eat exactly the same amount each day
_
Its ok if somedays you are hungrier than others
If you want to go out for a meal
If somedays eat less than normal
_
Instead of focusing on a particular day, think about the whole week and if you’re in line with your calories goals on average.
_
For weight loss you want your weekly average calories to be under your maintenance - aka if one day isn’t under your maintenance its isn’t the end of the world, you haven't messed up your entire diet
_
Massively restricting calories in order to have a particular meals isn’t healthy and can lead to unhealthy habits developing, but a slight variation day to day can be hugely beneficial mentally and allow you to try out new foods and enjoy social occasions

Just looking back at where I was when I started going to the gym, compared to where I am now. The left photo is now and the right photo is 03/10/2018.

In the left photo although I look a bit fatter, I definitely feel better, little to no pain anymore and I’m a lot happier now, which is the most important thing (yes, I know I look like a miserable bastard šŸ˜‚). The goal is to increase strength and injury rehab. Having fat isn’t a bad thing, everyone has it and it’s normal.

The right photo I had stopped cycling for about 2 years at that point and hadn’t really done any training since. Although I may look toned, my back was a mess (as seen in the second slide) and I was miserable a lot of the time.

I am currently 79kg but back in 2018 I think I was around 67kg.

lets see what more progress can be made in the coming months. Thanks for being the best coach ever šŸ‘ŠšŸ».

Where have I been?
_
Instagram (and anything social tbh) took a bit of a backseat these last couple of months
_
I’ve been working away in the background, focusing on my own clients and my job. Between that, graduation and starting to PT out of (cue cheesy PT photo) I haven’t had much time for content creation
_
I’ve settled back into a shift pattern and I’ve got a few more online and in person coaching spaces open

Training that supports injury, not ignores it
_
Exercise selection was based on the clients current injury, their future goals and the equipment they had available.
_
Not everyone wants to go to a gym and thats ok, you can make progress without one
