We are well and truly into 2022 now...
The festivities are over and it's time to get down to business
January can be a tough month, cold weather, junk food left over from Chrimbo, back to work
News years resolutions wizzing around your head
Is this your year to get yourself in the best shape of your life?
We wanted to help you make that a reality with some of the key points we are using with our clients that will help you too
No doubt you have delved deep into the depths of Google
Searching for the latest and best diet and gym routine
But your head is frazzled (rightly so, its a confusing place)
So lets simplify things for you and guide you on the right path:
Good Eating Habits
With our clients we highly recommend tracking food on the latest and greatest apps such as Myfitnesspal or Nutra Check
These are great for knowing how many calories you're consuming per day
Quite often it can surprise you how much you're actually eating without realising
It's worth investing your time in tracking your food for a week to see what's going on...
Eat Protein at Each Meal
Whether it be from meat, dairy, fish, protein powder or veggies if you're vegetarian
It's really important to get a good protein source in each meal of the day
As a guide, use the palm of your hand for a portion size. Aim for one portion per meal
Easy
Veggies & Fruits
We all know we need to eat more fruit & veg
But let's try and build it in as a habit
Fruits & veggies provide your body with the best nutrients to keep you healthy
As well as aiding in fat loss by keeping you full so you don't overeat
Hidden benefits
Portion wise, aim for a handful of veggies for each meal
Sleep, sleep & more sleep...
Again, we all know how important sleep is and how much we need good quality sleep
It makes it difficult these days with the stresses of day to day life...
Kids, stressful job etc etc
We recommend between 7-9 hours per night
Lack of sleep affects your energy levels, how much food you eat & what you crave and also your mood and performance
Regular Exercise
We like to see our clients twice per week for a whole body weights and cardio session
2 hours per week is not a lot and can be achieved by everyone
3 hours/sessions per week is great!
What most of our clients do is 2 sessions per week with us and one of our classes
(if you're interested in joining us, click here)
Whilst also getting as many steps in per day as they can
So you're burning calories IN and OUT of the gym
Plan & Prep Your Meals
This can go hand in hand with point one with good eating habits
Some of the best results and transformations we have had include meal prep or meal planning ahead of time
This helps you avoid overeating and just reaching for food
You can bulk make your food and set the amount of calories in each meal also
Planning ahead of time saves you money and keeps you on track
One of the great things about the food tracking apps is that you can save your favourite recipes and make tracking that bit quicker because we are all pushed for time
So there we have it...some of our top tips and advice on how to start your 2022 fitness journey the right way
