You don't need a ton of time or space to get a Full Body Workout done!

I want to help real women who live busy full lives, take control of their fitness and their health, without it feeling like it has to be a full time job. 

When designing a full body workout, think about your muscle groups - Circuit groups should be balanced. I break everything into these four categories:

1. Upper Body Push 
2. Upper Body Pull
3. Legs 
4. Core

Always start with a warm up and get your muscles moving before adding any weight.

For the first 2 circuits I will use Push Pull, Legs and then finish with core. Each circuit should run at least 2x. 

Always ensure you are staying aware of your form, never sacrifice form for extra weight.  As well, you want to make sure your exercises aren't directed at your main target area ONLY. Balanced training will get you to your goals!

The 3 areas of Wellness that attribute to our Health & Fitness journey are commonly approached incorrectly, . Lets take a look...

1. Mindset

When starting this new path we always have the best intentions of success, we want this! The mistake made here is PERFECTION - one little speed bump can send most people completely off track.

We have to go in with the mindset and an action plan, which allows for wiggle room to let "Life" happen!

Consistency is key but if you set your intentions for everything to go as planned each day, then you are setting yourself up for failure right from the start. Do not go in with an, ALL OR NOTHING mindset.   

2. Nutrition

The biggest misconception here is the amount you should be eating in a day. The first thought when someone wants to start eating healthy is, "EAT LESS" but no, no, no that is not correct at all!!

Your body has to be fuelled enough to function, if you are feeling hungry or just blah because you are limiting...

To serve your happiness and wellness let's talk Morning and Evening Routines!

I used to start my day with looking at my phone first thing when waking up, however starting your day with your phone is an immediate stressor! The light can set the tone for your whole day because this type of stressor can raise your cortisol levels. Another habit of mine is watching the news - again another stressor.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, stress causes increased cortisol, which will make it more difficult to lose weight because our body goes into a defensive mode and holds on to EVERYTHING!

Start your morning with the goal of reducing any stressors. Here are some changes I have decided to make.

MORNING ROUTINE:

30 min of reading a physical book in the morning

Journal writing - gratitude and daily intentions

This will help your day start calm and happy! If you are stressing your body before you even leave the house, you are already setting your cortisol off high....
