🌱 Being stressed without being aware of being stressed🤯😵‍💫😵

🌱Who has said “I don’t feel stressed”? Stress can be a feeling, but even if you’re lounging 🥱around in the sun reading a book 📚,your body may indicate something else is going on.

🌱It does this in a few ways, raising your resting heart rate, your blood pressure, your breathing frequency, and the amount of carbs 🥖 you burn at rest.

🌱Well what we should be burning the most amount of when at rest is fat 🧈 🍳🧀. Like right now as you read this.

🌱If our body decides it is constantly threatened and feeling like it’s running away from a dinosaur 🦖 , it will burn more carbs for quick energy. When this happens we don’t utilize the fats we eat or the fat stored on us already very efficiently.

The longer ⏰ this goes on the more it effects up, It starts to get rid of non essential bodily functions

We do need stress, but not ALL the time. This is why we have a balance of training that are very difficult & some that aren’t.

We do need this to adapt, Building resiliency 💪,But sometimes it feels our body won’t allow this.

Why is that?

When our body is burning fat at rest and all the health metrics are in check, it will feel safe to drop body fat and add muscle. So how do we analyze what the stressors in our life are especially the ones we have control over

Some examples of things many people have a hard time confronting:

🌱Poor diet and relationships with food
🌱 Honest assessment of compliance to your program, food or habbits
🌱Toxic relationships with people
🌱Not recovering as hard as you train
🌱Your relationship with your phone
🌱If sleep is actually any good
🌱Your Dependency on stimulants
🌱 your Dependency on pharmaceuticals for pain or sleep
🌱 your Dependency on drinking and or drugs

You may need to spend time confronting what is the REAL issue when it comes to whatever the biggest struggle is.

A healthy body is a happy, sustainable one that won’t push back. ✌🏻

🌱 What do you know about Progressive Overload?🌱

A common principle that I stress to my clients is education around & emphasis of progressive overload while training.
If you are looking to improve your body composition, strength, or performance, progressive overload must be a cornerstone of your training.

In my experience, unless you’ve had or have a coach or have been an advocate for educating yourself around the ins and outs of optimal training, it’s likely you may be in the dark on progressive overload.

Now you may ask, what does progressive overload mean in reference to my training?

It’s pretty simple actually

1️⃣Increase the reps, not the weight - push your reps to the top end of your rep range or even past it & work on becoming a master in the movement. perform exceptional technique and the most optimal range of motion your body is capable of

2️⃣Increase the weight, not the reps - once you master the movement, go ahead and increase the weight, but pull your reps back down to the low end of the rep range (8-10 OR 10-12)

3️⃣Play with your tempo: slow down - add an extra second or two to how long it takes you to stretch your muscles

Two examples: when you’re lowering the weight in a chest press or when you’re letting the weight pull you forwards on a cable row

Add pauses - I like to add pauses during contractions when I’m working on a pulling exercises, and at my most stretched position during pressing exercises

There's not much you can do with "excuses", you CAN however problem solve and overcome "obstacles".

Perceiving and labeling your struggles as “excuses” attempts to justify and shift blame onto factors you might genuinely think you have no control over because you haven't actually taken the time to correctly identify or understand them.

Being told by someone else or telling yourself you're "making excuses" can create a sense of shame, and shame isn't helpful either.

It doesn't create a sense of empowerment or help you actually assume ownership or responsibility for your own progress in a positive way.

There’s always, always a deeper reason beneath an unwillingness or hesitancy to do “what you need to do” that goes beyond “laziness” or a "lack of willpower".

Just telling yourself "no more excuses" is rarely enough to shift your actions long term even if you "really want too".

Perceiving and labeling your struggles as "barriers" or "obstacles" means you're...

1. Aware of where you're being tripped up...

2. Validates the issue as something worthy of consideration, time, effort and patience (rather than trying to pretend it isn't there or "shouldn't" be there and then attempting to willpower your way around it) allowing you to gain...

3. A better understanding of the problem by digging a little deeper with a sense of curiosity as to where these internal and/or external barriers are coming from which

4. Allows you to problem solve and come up with a list of possible solutions to the issue...

If you keep running into the same wall, maybe you could benefit from a different objective perspective?

DM me or if you struggle finding time, motivation or clarity in relation to what you need to do to achieve your goals!

🌱 When you’re new to training it’s normal to be a little sore and feel like you used your muscles, It’s a different thing to wake up feeling every part of your being screaming when sitting down on the toilet

Some people love the pain and chase that feeling but its stupid in my opinion, If you’re just trying to get into the gym this can be extremely discouraging.

One way to fix this at first is to do right amount of volume in your workouts. It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking “I have to gym for at least an hour for it to be worth it”

If you’re coming from doing nothing in the gym, the work you need at the gym is also going to be very little when you start.
especially if your commitment to a long term change and not just planning on going for a week or two. You’ve got plenty of sessions, take your time building up your ability.

Focus first on learning to move well. Keep your sets to 2-4 and work in a range of 10-12 reps. Don’t over complicate it. Pick 2-4 exercises and don’t over complicate it. My favourite style is GBC, Push, pull, squat, bend. This should give you enough reps per set to practice. Don’t let one session be your last. The gym isn’t just about pain and being afraid to sit down the day after leg day.🌱

🌱 This is one of the most important concepts I have learnt, when it comes to fixing pain. 🌱

🌱You MUST look at the big picture, if you want to fully fix the problem. The cause of injury often is not in the same place as your pain. 🌱

As the saying goes your only as strong as your weakest link ⛓

Belongingness, NOUN, "the state or feeling of belonging to a particular group".

The pursuit of "health and fitness" can sometimes feel isolating.

If you want support changing your behaviour it can be very beneficial to be a part of a group, in an environment where the desired behavior is normalized.

Part of 's mission is to create such a place with a sense of community, to facilitate connection through the pursuit of shared goals and common values.

A sense of belonging can increase engagement, motivation and resilience.

Already in the past two weeks of group sessions I've seen this in action increased consistency, new PBs and shared successes 🥰
