How old were you when you learnt that ab training and core training are NOT the same thing? I was 34 years old and only found out the truth when I qualified as a Low Pressure Fitness coach for postnatal women!!
I’ve often written about why cardio is NOT the most effective fat loss and body sculpting tool. So what is then?
What would you say is the most important factor in long-term weight loss?
I’ve just come out of 2 weeks of COVID and in hindsight I can say that I am lucky it was not that bad in my case. But what dominated the experience was an underlying sense of fear and anxiety. Even though I generally felt fine apart from a cough and feeling a bit tired, I was SO worried I would get really sick or maybe even hospitalized.
One of the things I’m most proud of – both in my personal choices and in how I have been able to impact clients as a fitness coach – is getting them out of the stories that cause us to play small.
As a health and fitness person, I’m sure you have heard that having good posture is highly beneficial and that you should do what you can to train your posture. But do you really know why it’s important? And do you actually know what good posture is and how to train it – or do you just think you do?
Do I have to change my diet and lifestyle to get my pre-baby body back? This is such a common question for new moms. The answer is YES. First of all, you should have adjusted your lifestyle when you became pregnant. Not so much in the first trimester but definitely by the second, you would have needed to adjust your exercise routine. There are a lot of big no-no’s when it comes to exercising pregnant, such as:
Your body will change from pregnancy, labor and childbirth, there is no way around this. Acceptance is the first step toward healing. Know that your body will bounce back but only with lots of intervention on your part, especially if you started your family in your 30s and beyond
What is it about some people that they always seem to get ahead in life? Opportunities just fall in their laps and even when faced with adversity they seem to rise above it and come out bigger, better and stronger. Research shows that people like this have a GROWTH MINDSET and it’s something that can be instilled in childhood.
Maybe it’s weight loss, maybe it’s to achieve a specific lift or run your first 5k, or maybe it’s to get off your blood pressure medication. Whatever the goal is, what I’m going to talk about applies.
My Mission is to help women safely rebuild their post-partum bodies and reconnect to their feminine power through movement so they can feel strong, beautiful and confident again.
