Train with Daisy

PT in your pocket - online coaching! I’m looking for 20 people who struggle with intimidation at the gym / starting a fitness program at home.

If this sounds like you and you’d like advice on how best to fuel your movement and have access to a tailor made plan, just for you and 24/7 support from a coach for less than a couple of PT sessions, this is the program for you. DM me to get started. We start on 1st July and I have 20 spaces available ✨✨

There will also be added support in an online group (participation absolutely not compulsory if you’d rather be private) and live HIIT classes you can join when you need a boost 😍

This offer is a steal and a passion project of mine so you would be getting all my dedication as your coach ❤️

Summer is here and I have a rare opening for 2, one to one clients on my online programs! I am a personal trainer, scientist and nutrition coach with experience helping many clients achieve their fitness and aesthetic goals, entirely online!

Do you need a little extra support with figuring out your health and fitness?

Do you find it difficult to fit in the time to travel to and from the gym?

Do you find it overwhelming to think about both fitness AND nutrition?

My online coaching could be exactly the right fit for you!

Please WhatsApp me for more information!

****Transformation Tuesday*****
Throw back to my amazing client, Chloe. Chloe worked with me both on personal training AND a nutrition course. She initially wanted to lose weight for her wedding but discovered so much more and kept the weight off because our work was sustainable ❤️
We started by actually raising her calories, focussing on nutritious, whole foods and cutting down on alcohol. The lifestyle adjustments were made in a manageable way, as she worked very long shifts and doesn't have a set routine.
The first phase was building muscle. We focussed on heavy lifts, compound movements and core strength.
Next we focussed on her macronutrients, increasing her NEAT (non exercise activity thermogenesis), working at high rep with lower weights and using a combination of HIIT and LISS cardio, depending on how she is feeling, where she is in her monthly cycle, and whether she has worked a killer shift.
I think you'll agree, she made some serious progress. She still looks so toned, she is full of energy and she glows!

Delicious dinner last night 😍
Smoked paprika, cumin and garlic chicken with black bean, kale, tomato and corriander salsa; brown rice and siracha yoghurt.

High protein, full of micronutrients, healthy fats and whole carbs.

Eating to lose fat doesn’t have to be boring! I’m down 2 inches from my waist in 5 weeks 🥳

I’m loving helping my clients at the moment. My goal for next week is to help one more person feel settled around food, whether they want to lose fat, build muscle or simply learn how to maintain their body on higher calories with more flexibility.

Happy weekend everyone!

🍳🥓🥩 PROTEIN

Do you get yours?

Common misconceptions about protein intake I regularly see:
1. Protein powders will make me fat - incorrect! A calorie surplus will make you gain weight. Protein powders should be included as part of your plan.

2. I NEED to consume protein within 60 mins after my workout - debatable - over all, research shows that consuming 1-2g protein per kg body weight will lead to maintenance or anabolism (building) of muscle tissue. Timing may be important at a fine scale, but not for all of us. Keep it simple.

3. I should eat mostly protein and low carb and fat if I want to lose fat - incorrect! In order to train effectively and regulate your hormones, you need approx 35-50% of your calories to come from carbs (especially if you have goals to improve your cardio fitness). Healthy fats will NOT make you fat.
The main role of protein in fat loss is that it keeps you fuller for longer - I aim for around 20g at each meal 🥰

4. Meat is necessary for muscle growth - incorrect! We get different amino acids from plants and animal based foods. Ideally, a diet containing both will give you everything you need. If you’re plant based for ethical, religious or health reasons, it’s still totally possible to hit that protein goal! It’ll just require a little thought.

BODY DYSMORPHIA 🧠👀
Like many women, I suffer with extreme body dysmorphia. This is where your perception of your body and it’s size doesn’t match with the way it actually looks...
My 🧠 and my 👀 do AWFUL things to my body image. On the left is my actual body. On the right, I’ve used a retouching app to alter my body what resemble more what I see every time I look in the bathroom mirror.

Distressing, huh?

This is a product of years and years of trying to change my body, feeling self conscious about my thicker thighs and my weight fluctuating up and down several stone over a short period of time due to disordered eating.

Now I can see it for what it is - a mental struggle that might never go away. The difference is that now, I have some tools to help me.

1. Consistent healthy habits - I never show compensatory behavior (binging and over exercising) any more.
2. I notice and name how I feel on a given day. I am vocal about these feelings with my partner who is supportive!
3. I take pictures - this way I can see my body how it actually looks.
4. I don’t weight myself - I abandoned the sad step in favor of tracking how I feel in this body that enables me to do cool things; takes me places; allows me to feel and experience everything!

I hope I can make more people aware of this problem that so many people struggle with (I’m sure many men, too!). I hope it also highlights how easy it is to change your body shape using a free retouching app 🤦🏼‍♀️🤯 (no wonder we have body issues.. huh).

Results happen when you break large skills or practices down into manageable habits that you can reasonably commit to every day.
Allow yourself space, time and the odd treat while your on your journey.
When clients ask me what I think is the best diet, I always tell them, it’s the one you can stick to for the rest of your life.

This lovely lady is just 2.5 weeks in to her 8 week program. This week we aren’t changing a thing because she is loving life and seeing results. Today I feel like a happy coach ❤️

One thing that people ALWAYS under estimate is the power of N.E.A.T (non exercise activity related thermogenesis). In other words, this is the sum of alllll that energy you expend doing well... stuff!

To give an example, scroll through the next few pictures and see how many extra calories my Fitbit reckons I’m burning just by walking to and from the car, walking around work to fetch things.

What’s yours? Maybe..

❤️Walking the dog
❤️ Running around with your kids
❤️Cleaning the house
❤️Decorating
❤️Walking round the supermarket

Don’t under estimate the power! We went sledding for our ‘workout’ the other evening, and it was AWESOME.

Seriously, don’t miss out on 95% of your life to weigh 5% less. Chances are, stressing less, eating enough to keep your morale high and activity levels high will get you better, more sustainable results in the long run!

If you need help with what that looks like for you, I’m always here 💪🏻🥰

This is my client, Steve.

Steve decided he wanted to do 15 full press ups last week. He was pretty nervous.

Steve did 40 press ups today.

Yeah, 40!! 🙌🏻

I am so proud of you! And all of my fantastic 8 weekers who really are taking these next 8 weeks to change their lives. FOR GOOD!

We have 8 weeks together, but we are learning there are no quick fixes and implementing healthy habits into our daily routines.

Fantastic work, you legends!

If you currently track your food meticulously: How’s it working for you?

If weighing and measuring every meal feels like a sustainable practice for you, awesome. Keep going! :)

If not, it could be worth experimenting with something new—even if it feels a little uncomfortable at first.

Here, we share stories from clients who were former calorie counters but made the switch to hand portions to “watch what they ate” reliably and consistently: http://ow.ly/JI2o50CyB2o

The result: Life-altering transformations inside and out.

And if you want to try using hand portions yourself but you’re not sure where to start, we’ve included a link to the Precision Nutrition Calculator to help build your customized hand portions. Check it out!

2020 really took the wind out of my sails and with regret, I had to discontinue my nutrition and fitness coaching momentarily. I needed to regroup, focus on my other job in research and make ends meet.

In 2021 however, I plan to come back and hopefully this time put my all into this passion of mine and continue to help others discover what they are capable of! 🙋🏼‍♀️🤩

Thankfully, I had the best clients along the way and they still update me with their progress in particular!

In the spirit of helping small businesses, here are a few free ways you can help us start up again or stay afloat during these challenging times! Help us get more views if you like our services 💕
