IS LACK OF PREPARATION HOLDING YOU BACK FROM YOUR GOALS?⁠

As the saying goes “failing to prepare is preparing to fail!” You won’t always feel motivated to to do the work that is required to reach your goals so that’s why preparation will be your key to success!⁠
.⁠
If you find yourself struggling with your body composition related goals, i’d recommend planning action around these 5 key elements:⁠
.⁠
1️⃣NUTRITION - How are you going to make hitting your nutrition goal easy for you this week? Pre-planning your food for the day? Meal prepping? Grocery shopping in advance? Find a way that works for you and do it!⁠
.⁠
2️⃣EXERCISE - When are you scheduling in your workouts? Do you have more energy in the mornings or nights? Schedule in your workouts when you are most likely to have the most energy and when it easily fits into your day!⁠
.⁠
3️⃣STEPS - Just like a workout, schedule it in if you know you struggle to get enough steps in your day! Plan a daily walk. Get up from your desk and move throughout the day. Park further away at the shops. I personally start my day with a walk to my local coffee shop. By the time I’m ready to start work, I’ve already done half of my daily steps!⁠
.⁠
4️⃣+5️⃣SLEEP & STRESS - Ensure you are getting enough sleep every night! If not, try and plan to go to bed earlier. If stress is an issue for you, try to manage this with some stress management techniques as best you can!⁠

Eat a meal! Sometimes the calories in grazing far outweigh the calories in a protein-rich meal which is more satiating and won’t leave you looking for more.
Fluids - Keeping hydrated by drinking water, tea, coffee (in moderation). Fill the gaps when the cravings hit.
Keep busy - walk, focus on a task or keep your mind preoccupied in some way!
Get your full 8 hours sleep! Sometimes, lack of sleep can bring on cravings. Ensure you are sleeping well so your body isn’t craving the fast carbs and Sugars.

3 cues to improve your squat Squats are a big mo

3 cues to improve your squat

Squats are a big movement, ESPECIALLY for beginners. Break down the movement in terms your clients can understand. Here are three cues that will help your clients squat:

😮 ‘Breathe and Brace’ Bracing your core is critical to a good squat, ensure your client is engaging their abdominal area with a big deep breath into their stomach and tensing their stomach muscles.

🦶🏼‘Push The Floor Apart’ Clients' Knees caving in is a sign of weak hip, tight ankles, impaired quad or hamstring function. Cueing to push the floor apart out helps to activate the muscles needed to set the pelvis and spine in a more neutral position and avoid any adduction of the legs.

🦵🏼‘Hips and Knees Together’ Helps to ensure there is an equal balance between hip and knee extensors as the client descends into a squat. Don’t let one bend before the other!
