Things You Should Know Before You Start Working Out

Posted on by Lisa S

Since summer has just started, everyone is in hurry to get back into shape to look impeccable this year. People usually join fitness, dance, yoga or pilates studios. But here are a few things you should know before you start working out.

1. Quitting has consequences
Once you start hitting the gym and working out, your body will change. It will get used to working out and getting a daily dose of exercise. Your weight and body shape is likely to change till your body gets used to the workouts that you do. And once you quit or even go for a vacation, your body will drastically change again, due to the lack of working out. This change is majorly weight gain but it is subjective to every individual.
So if you ever wish to take a break, then work out a schedule so you do not lose the body you have worked so hard for.

2. The scales fluctuate
The scales will fluctuate on a daily basis. One day you may wake up and be happy seeing that you weighed how you wish to be but on another day it may be completely different. This depends on your calorie intake, water retention, muscle gain, body stress, hormonal secretions and countless other activities that you do throughout that particular day.
So one thing you should do is not rely on the numbers on the scale every single day. It can de-motivate you and also give false hope. Keep working despite all that because practice is the key.

3. Diet is important
Honestly, this is one thing that may make or break you from reaching your goal body or weight. I cannot stress the importance of diet enough. You can exercise everyday for months and eat incorrectly, and there will be absolutely no change in the way you look. Whereas, you will see changes in mere weeks if you eat clean and healthy. Try to eat as many whole foods and possible and cut down on levels of sugar and oil intake in your body. Also drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday and watch your body transform.

4. Results take time
This is one thing that again, cannot be stressed enough. Results do take time and effort. You cannot expect abs to grow in a day and nor can you become thin in a day or two. Consistency is the key here. You need to workout as often as possible and change it up. Do not let your body get used to a single workout routine and challenge yourself. If you do t correctly you will not only see amazing results but also will feel good inside.

Lastly, do not stress yourself over small things and end up hurting yourself with juice cleanses or counting calories. It will take time and patience but if you are faithful, you will get what you want.

Reasons You Aren’t Losing Weight

Posted on by Lisa S

Are you trying to lose weight but have been unsuccessful so far? Here are 5 reasons why it is happening and how to fix it.

1. Calories
Overeating and under-eating both have a huge effect on your body. If you are overeating, it means you are consuming more calories than you are burning in a day, so ultimately you are going to gain weight due to increase in body fat levels. To fix it make small changes in your routine. Do more exercise or eat less slowly.
If you are under-eating you are going to feel fatigued and not perform up to the mark. Under-eating forces your body into starvation mode and you are likely to get cravings. What you need is a balanced diet between healthy carbs, protein and fat. This will help to get your metabolism back up and will help to get your body back.

2. Exercise
Even after exercising if you aren’t getting the wanted results then either you aren’t pushing yourself enough or challenging your body enough. You need to switch up your routine so your body does not get use to your workouts or they will yield little to no result. So switch up between strength training and cardio.

3. Stress
Yes! Stress does really have a huge impact on our hormones. It can cause hormonal imbalance and have an effect on depression and anxiety which can also lead to weight gain. Make sure you are checking in with yourself to see how you feel because you don’t want your stress levels to get too high. The best thing to do is unwind at the end of the day and have some time for yourself.

4. Sleep
A good sleep is one of the most important factors of our physical and mental health. Sleep helps our body to relax after a tiring day and lack of sleep is one of the single biggest factors for obesity. Studies show that people who don’t get enough sleep have an 89% greater risk of obesity. It can affect your mood and appetite. So make sure you are aiming to get around 7-8 hours of sleep per night.

5. Water
Seriously, water is so important for the body. If you want to reduce your calorie intake make sure you have a glass of water before every single meal. By drinking more water you also increase the number of calories you burn throughout the day. So it is advised to drink about 8-10 glasses of water every single day.

Top Tricks To Get Back On Track

Posted on by Lisa S

It is hard to get back on track after you have taken a break or fallen off the wagon. So I am going to make it easy for you today with these top 5 tips.

1. Set a goal
Now setting a goal is the best way for you to get back on track. If you don’t have a goal, you won’t have any motivation and you will eventually stop working out. Keep reminding yourself that you have a goal you want to achieve and why you started this journey.

2. Schedule your workouts
Every person has a different time they want to workout. Some like to do it first thing in the morning while some like to do it at the end of their day. Work out a schedule and stick to it so you can get back on track.

3. Accountability
Once you hold yourself accountable for your wokouts and exercise, you will learn to stay on track and realize to take care of your health. Actions produce results and if you are accountable for your workouts, you will make sure to stay on track. You will also have nobody to blame but you.

4. Cut the excuses
Yes, so many of you will have excuses of why you cannot work out or why you will stop working out. Talk to yourself and address the issues on why you keep making these excuses. Learn to ignore the excuses that pop up in your mind. Make time to workout because you are doing something good for your own self and once you start you won’t want to stop.

5. Find what works for you
Workouts are different for every individual as everyone likes different things. If you want to stay on track then stick to what you enjoy but at the same time don’t be afraid to switch it up to challenge your body.

Beginners Guide To Start Getting Fit

Posted on by Lisa S

Today we’re going to show you 5 strategies that are going to get your health and fitness journey to an amazing start. Do not ignore these tips or you will be ignoring the quickest wins that will help you achieve your goal body in the fastest way possible.

 

Strategy 1:- Taking progress pictures
You really need to get familiar with your body and the best way to do that is to take progress pictures. It may be scary to do this at the start but when you look back on those pictures and see how far you have come, you will feel motivated and confident. I recommend you to take pictures from the front, side and the back and make sure to do a progress checking photo every 4 weeks.

Strategy 2:- Set a small goal
This is important to do as so many of us set very high goals and when we don’t accomplish them we end up feeling de-motivated and don’t stick to our plan. What you need to do is set one small goal to focus on. This could be anything from giving up diet coke, drinking 3 litres of water every day or even giving up some sweets. Once you’ve accomplished a smaller goal then you can set up a momentum and start working towards higher goals.

Strategy 3: Do not count calories
Yes guys, you do not want to count your calories and end up obsessing over the number every single day. This can actually be dangerous and lead to an unhealthy relationship with your food. Instead, you can cut down on sugar and processed food and stick to whole foods and you will end up losing weight anyway. Just stick to a balanced diet.

Strategy 4:- Know your ‘WHY’
This is very important to keep you motivated and going. Remind yourself why do you want that body? Why do you want to lose weight? Or why are you eating healthy? Write it down, pin it up or set it as your phone wallpaper. Keep a reason for wanting to improve your life and look at it every day so you stay focused on your goal.

Strategy 5:- Identify your hurdles
If you tried to get in shape in the past and failed? That you need to ask yourself why? Did you go on a vacation? Did you get sick and gave up? Or did you not see the results you wanted? We’ve all been there before. When you start your journey think about your past pitfalls and come up with ways to avoid them so you can continue your journey and achieve your goal this time.

Hope these tips help you to start working towards your goals. Make sure to let us know which worked out the best for you.
