5 Quick Tips To Keep Motivated
- Details
1️⃣ Make sure you set goals. You may have a long term goal but break them down into weekly or even daily targets.
2️⃣ Remember why, there is a reason why you started in the first place. Keep telling yourself why you started over and over again.
3️⃣ Make sure you go to the gym with a plan. Random training means random results.
4️⃣ If you plan to train 3 times a week, sit down with your diary, set the days/times you're going and nothing gets in the way of them times.
Saying you might go this day, or that day, sometimes means you might not go at all.
5️⃣ Get plenty of sleep. You can’t live without it and when you have plenty of sleep you will feel great and smash them workouts.
Simple Nutrition Tips
- Details
You go into your first PT session:
Trainer. “ Right with your nutrition, you need to measure every bit of food, track every single calorie, eat 150g of protein per day. You're going to eat 2 higher calories days to reefed and then 5 lower days “
Plus what else that maybe suggested...
For some clients, that could be really overwhelming.
Maybe a client is not ready to track calories or even wants to take a break from tracking.
Yea of course, some might be ready to jump on the tracking calories bandwagon but for some maybe not.
If the idea of tracking calories seems so overwhelming to start with then take a few simple steps first.
We know by now that calories in v calories out will determine if you lose fat or gain muscle but these very simple steps can help you improve your nutrition straight away.
Here is a few I just thought off:
1. Eat Protein With Every Meal
If you are eating 3 meals per day, then make sure you have a good source of protein in each meal.
We all know the benefits of protein especially when dieting and resistance training,so this is important to be consistent with your daily protein intake.
2. Eat The Rainbow.
I expect you have heard of the saying before, but it’s true.
If you haven’t, it just means eat plenty of fruits and vegetables of different colors.
Choose the fruit you like, berries are a great option.
Bananas are a great pre workout, but all fruit will do you good.
Eat more vegetables, again any veg will do and will increase your nutrition straight away.
3. Eat Till You're Full
Ever eaten so much food you can barely move afterwards?
If you are full, then stop, you don’t need to keep forcing food down.
Do you really need to keep going back to the snack cupboard after dinner?
Adding in extra calories that are not really required just for the sake of it won’t help or will help digestion.
4. Plan Your Food
It doesn’t need to be really structured, but just having a rough plan in your head will mean you will make better decisions.
Plan the day ahead, try and plan what types of foods you want for the next day.
Try to avoid buying lunch out as you might be easily tempted to go get fast food.
Hope these little tips help, simple but effective and there is plenty more. These ones I just thought of whilst writing this post.
