Lets talk Cellulite

September 23rd        Uncategorized    No Comments

Got Cellulite?? GREAT So have most people
Why do we try and hide it?
Why do companies sell shit like Cellulite creams/pants/supplements….do they even know what it is??

Do you know its natural and it looks god damn HOT?
Cellulite……part of the body and genetic make up…you cant get rid of it like you can do body fat…so stop trying to
Embrace it, show it off and stop hiding away because you have it
And if someone tells you its ugly….you have my permission to tell them to FUCK OFF

What goes into a class?

September 10th        Uncategorized    No Comments

What goes into a class?

We dont just rock up, lash the music on an start teaching…we dont just decide there and then this is what we are going to do and then BAM it all comes to us

NOOOOO we spend endless hours (unpaid may I add) making up routines, getting it to flow, finding the write music, the right BPM, the right moves to compliment each other.

We plan everything from the warm up to the stretch

We spend hours researching new things to bring, all the different ways to do a squat (LOL) 

Next time you attend a class – wether it be online or face2face – show some respect and courtesy  for the instructor….because I can guarantee they’ve spent hours creating this one class for you to enjoy

There is sooo much that goes into a class….so much love, care and attention

OK so I only speak for myself here cos I dont know what other instructors do…but please know when you attend my classes…be it online, outdoor or at the gym….you will get the BEST I can give, I will have planned and prepared the class an picked the music I think is the best

I care

I Love what I do

Its not “just a class”

Dont Buy Into it

September 10th        Uncategorized    No Comments

Celebs 

You see them promoting it

You see them tell you all about it

You see them giving you a “link” to buy it

You believe in them

You believe they have tried and tested it

You never once think they are just after the commission from their affilliate scheme

So you MUST buy it?

Because they “look good” and because they have made you believe that you need it

Do they care about you? NO

Do they care about your health and wellbeing? NO

So what do they care about…..?? £££££££ 

Just because a celeb endorses something..doesnt always mean they use it/believe in it/think it works…..it means they are getting paid for it…being told by their management etc that it must be done

But you buy it…cos they say so and you use your hard earned money to buy into it, to fill their pockets

Will it work? Probably not

Want a better option? Use the money to invest in YOU and YOURSELF in a better way…stop lining their pockets

What is the Ideal Body??

September 10th        Uncategorized    No Comments

Wanna know what the Ideal Body Type is??

I can let you into  a secret of the Ideal Body Type

THERE

ISNT

ONE

Thats it…thats the BIG Secret!

There is NO Ideal Body Type

You are never guna look like someone else

Your body will never be the same as the ones you see on “the gram” – tbh half of them dont even look like that themselves

There is NO such thing as an Ideal Body Type/Shape

There isnt…end of!!!

There is no way you SHOULD look

There are NO rules

There isnt a book that tells you all this

You look how you look

You feel how you feel

We are all different

We all look different

Isnt that what makes us unique??

Exercise….does it stress u out???

August 19th        Uncategorized    No Comments

Exercise

Does the thought of it stress you out?

Dont know where to start?

Worried what others will think?

Will they look at me? Judge me?

Too much confusing info out there?

Not got the time?

Stressed about the thought of it?

Feeling unfit?

Exercise doesn’t have to bring all this to the surface

It shouldn’t add to your stress

We can often over complicate it, think it needs to be something more than it is.

Exercise is simply just moving the body in a way that feels good for you

Need help? – Hire a trainer, Invest in yourself

Dont know where to start? – Trainer/Youtube/Message me

Haven’t got the time? – walk more, take the stairs, get up half an hour earlier

Worried what others will think? – FUCK them

Will they judge me? – who cares? Say more about them at the end of the day 

The though stressing you out?- Go for a walk……oh look thats exercise

Feeling Unfit? – we all start somewhere, and until we start we cannot begin to get fitter

Money a worry? – Walk it’s FREE, Youtube…lots of FREE content

There will always be an excuse

BUT there will always be a solution

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself

Just move…anyway

Walk

Take the stairs

Walk instead of email in the office

Park further away

Get off the bus a stop earlier

Take advantage of the lighter nights and go for a walk after your tea

Get out at weekends

Try that class you’ve always wanted to

Do it for YOU and no1 else

Non Scale Victories

August 19th        Uncategorized    No Comments

Non Scale Victory…..do you celebrate yours?

Non Scale Victory is a way for us to measure their weight loss/progress without being constrained to a single measurement of a scale.

The Scales and the number thats on them seem to get put on a pedestal like its the be all and end all to Health and Fitness…..so often that we forget everything else that we have achieved and everything else that happens off the scales

Do you celebrate yours?

Here are some examples of Non Scale Victories:

  • Sleeping Better
  • Clearer Skin
  • Feeling Happy
  • More energy
  • Lowered Blood Pressure
  • Feeling Fitter
  • Breathing Better
  • Daily Activities feeling easier
  • Clothes fitting better
  • Increased concentration 
  • Clearer Focus
  • Wanting to move the body
  • Being inspiring to others
  • Stronger

Remember the scales are not a measure of success or of your worth

We need to STOP giving the scales and the number we see on them so much credit….Its time we celebrated all our wins

Will you celebrate yours?

What are your Non Scale Victories??

You CANT Outrun your Fork

July 20th        Uncategorized    No Comments

Guess what……
YOU CANT OUTRUN YOUR FORK!!
Yep…..no matter how much you train if you eat sh*t then its a recipe for disasters
If you train hard all week and then ruin your diet at the weekend…yes thats fine and its your choice BUT the results will never come
They say Abs are made in the kitchen and in a way thats kinda true, what you eat and what your body absorbs will eventually reflect on the outside and your body is a clever little sausage.
If you train a few times a week that can be 4(ish)hours a week….so thats 164 hours a week you are not exercising (give or take)…so its sometimes more important what you do with those hours then whilst you are actually in the gym. (Im NOT saying the gym hours dont count….)
When it comes down to it….you just need to burn more calories than you consume…that is literally the basics….so unless you going to be exercising more than you’re not…it makes sense to look at your nutrition and make those tweaks and eat right, because you will never out run your fork (but not all calories are created equal)
It does go deeper than that above, as certain foods can trigger certain hormonal changes, food is sending your body information and it will in turn react..but let’s not get too technical.
No matter how hard you train,…YOU WONT see results if you have a sh*tty diet.
Match your diet to your training
Moderation is key
Avoid restricting your diet – as this can lead to long term damage
Good eating happens, exercise and harmony within are cornerstones to health, longevity, happiness and overall health
So stop trying to run away from your fork

Working out from home??

July 16th        Uncategorized    No Comments

When it comes to working out from home you dont need to invest in any fancy equipment…hey you dont even need any but if you are wanting too invest in some…these are the basics and staples Id suggest

You can get an amazing workout with each of these things, they are reasonably priced and can be bought online or at Sports Shops….I have 1000s of workouts on my YouTube on how to use these…so check it out

Fancy equipment doesnt equal a better workout…..dont be an “all the gear no idea” kind of person, choose what suits you and what you will benefit from

6 Packs….do you really want one?

July 16th        Uncategorized    No Comments

6 Packs can be a big “goal” to a lot of people

Do you know we ALL have a 6 pack?

So you get one….and then what?? Is it for the likes on the gram? Will it make a difference to your life?

Are you doing it for recognition from others?

They see pics of fitness models and so on – over on Social Media and in Magazines and they think they inspire to that because it is the ultimate Health and Fitness Goal

And whilst it is great to have a goal….sometimes we dont realise what actually goes into getting this goal….

So Ill keep this short and sweet

If you really want a 6 pack……no matter how many sit ups and planks you do……you will need to have a very LOW Body fat percentage to even get this…and thats the be all and end all

You can spend all day doing crunches but it doesn’t matter if your Body Fat isn’t LOW enough

And “sometimes” it isn’t actually healthy to get the BF that LOW……

So stop wasting your time doing all these silly ab curls and planks…instead how about chose a new goal of “Health” and just being happy?

Will a 6 pack make you happy? I mean really happy?

And if you are still stuck on getting one…..my biggest tip is LOOK AT YOUR DIET! You need to be at a calorie deficit to be able to drop serious Body Fat
