Consistency in training
This week we will kick off with training consistency and how it’s so important to achieving and enhancing your results.
We sometimes tend to forget that training is something we do for life and not for the run up to an event like a wedding.
A lot of where training consistency lies is in our mindset, it’s time to take ourselves out of the quick unsustainable results mind frame and become comfortable with the fact that achieving your ideal body and mind will take time and shouldn’t have an immediate deadline.
Once we start to think along these lines we will also feel less pressure and embrace the good feeling we get from working out.
It’s about making training part of everyday life whether it’s a cycle to work, a run on your lunch break or a gym workout afterwards planing where you will fit in that 20-30 mins is key to making it a habit.
5 key tips to making training consistent from our experience dealing with clients in Bodybyrne.
1. Opt for a morning workout it’s such a good way to start off the day.
2. Keep workouts small in time frame 30 minutes max.
3. Pair up with a training partner.
4. Do up a training schedule at the start of each week.
5. Choose activities you enjoy you’ll be more likely to complete these workouts.
Remember the benefits from training stem much further then just the aesthetics it also enhances your mindset and has a positive effect on those closest to you.
Meal frequency
Our nutrition topic this week leading on from what foods to eat is meal frequency.
This is a highly debatable subject but personally we feel in Bodybyrne that the key to results is a 4-5 meal frequency for a number of reasons.
Take for example somebody who skips breakfast will tend to eat more at lunch or someone who skips lunch will overeat at dinner,
If you set your day to include 3 main meals and 1-2 snacks you will tend to feel full through the day and not get those hunger cravings that have us reaching for that bedtime snack.
In the long term we will feel the benefit as blood sugar levels will be in a steady environment, this also comes down to what we tend to eat at these meals which we touched on last week.
From previous experience with clients my top 5 reasons for recommending 4-5 meals a day would be,
1. Balances blood sugar levels
2. Reduces sugar cravings
3. Leaves appetites satisfied
4. Elevated energy levels
5. Improves sleep patterns
If we can get these 5 key areas right early on its a real recipe for success in achieving our fat loss goals.
Good luck this week!!!
