Water amd Electrolytes for training:

When we train (especially running + CrossFit), we lose water and electrolytes through sweat. Even a 2% drop in hydration can decrease performance, focus, and recovery. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium help keep our muscles firing, prevent cramps, and speed up recovery.

Quick tips:
Start your day with a glass of water before coffee.
Aim for steady hydration throughout the day, not just during training.

On hot days or heavy sweat sessions, add electrolytes to your water.
Watch for signs of dehydration: headaches, fatigue, muscle cramps.

Remember: hydration is not just about water it’s about balance. Fuel your body the way you fuel your training.

🌟 Celebrating Sharlene’s Journey at 🌟

This is what consistency, accountability, and community looks like in action. Sharlene started her journey in December last year and has completely turned things around.

It wasn’t easy she faced challenges with food, emotions, and long work hours sitting but instead of giving up, she chose to show up. And that’s the magic. Even through the cold winter mornings, the support, energy, and encouragement from *Urban Shack community* kept her going.

Her results so far:
-Energy levels are higher
-Sleep has improved
-Gut health is recovering
-Emotional snacking is under control
-She’s officially broken past her 100kg milestone!

More than the numbers, it’s the lifestyle changes that matter most. Sharlene has built habits that serve her proving that with a strong community and the courage to keep showing up, anything is possible.

Sharlene is proof that with the right environment and mindset, transformation is real.

Keep showing up no matter the season.

Did you know your InBody scan shows more than just body fat and muscle?

When we look at your scan, one of the often-overlooked sections is MINERALS.

This part of your report is incredibly important because minerals are the building blocks for:

Muscle contractions & energy without enough, your body tires faster.
Strong bones essential for lifting heavier, preventing injuries, and long-term health.
Hydration & cramp prevention sodium, potassium, and magnesium balance fluids in your body.
Recovery & performance minerals like zinc and iron help oxygen flow, tissue repair, and faster recovery after tough WODs.

The best part? Your InBody scan tracks your mineral levels through bone mineral content. This gives us a real snapshot of your bone health and mineral balance, not just your fat and muscle mass.

That means your scan is not just about how lean you are it’s a full picture of how ready your body is to perform, recover, and stay healthy long term.

Where do we get these minerals?
-Calcium & Magnesium → dairy, leafy greens, nuts, seeds
-Sodium & Potassium → bananas, avocados, potatoes, coconut water, sea salt
-Iron & Zinc → meat, shellfish, beans, pumpkin seeds

Takeaway: If you sweat a lot in workouts, focus on electrolytes. If you lift heavy, prioritize calcium and vitamin D.

Supplements can help, but real food is always best first!

So next time you get your InBody scan, remember those mineral numbers are a direct reflection of your body’s foundation for strength, recovery, and health. 🏋️‍♂️

Over the past months Tinus made noticeable changes in hisbody composition less fat, more definition, stronger and healthier!

Even with a few challenges along the way, he kept showing up and that’s what makes the difference. 🙌

This is a great reminder for all of us:every journey looks different. Tinus enjoys foods like sourdough bread and still fits them into his plan proving that you don’t need to cut out everything you love to see results. It’s about balance, consistency, and tracking along the way.

We all have unique goals and preferences, and what works for one person might not work for another. By learning, adapting, and fuelling ourselves with the right nutrition education, we build long-term health changes that last. 💪

*NOPE!* carbs aren’t the bad guys!
The problem isn’t carbs, it’s too much of the wrong kind.

Carbs give you energy, help your brain work, and fuel your training.
But ultra-processed, sugar-loaded carbs (think fizzy drinks, pastries, sweets) can cause energy crashes and fat gain if eaten in excess.

*✅ Focus on:*

-Whole foods like potatoes, oats, rice, fruit & veggies
-Pairing carbs with protein and healthy fats
-Eating most of your carbs around workouts or busy parts of your day

*🚫 Limit:*
-Refined sugary snacks
-Highly processed baked goods
-Sweets

*Bottom line:*
Carbs are your body’s fuel. Choose smart carbs, eat the right portions, and you’ll have more energy, better recovery, and a happier metabolism.

Let’s Talk Protein – And How to Get More of It! 💪

Why are we putting so much focus on protein?
Because protein is KEY to so many important functions in the body – especially when it comes to reaching your goals:

Muscle repair and recovery –
Whether you’re training hard or just staying active, your muscles need protein to recover and grow.

Satiety & cravings –
Protein keeps you fuller for longer, which helps manage hunger and reduce snacking.

Metabolism support –
Protein has a higher thermic effect, meaning your body burns more calories digesting it.

Hormone and immune support –
It helps build essential hormones and enzymes that keep your body in balance.

If you need help calculating your protein target or want to check if you’re eating enough just pop a message, I’m here to help!
