Honestly... I don’t know about you but I can’t wait to be back 😁💪🏼

Anyone else missing the gym or struggling with home workout routine? Or even struggling to get started?

I feel your pain. Lets be honest the level of motivation needed to maintain a home workout routine is tough, especially in this weather it’s even harder to find the get up and go!

We have no control on what’s going on around us at the moment, but we do have control on what we feed our bodies! If you are struggling with a workout routine then try to focus on diet & lifestyle changes. Just remember every time you do manage to complete a workout it’s a step closer to keeping you on track and it’s better than doing nothing! Better days are coming 🤞🏼

My 7 Top tips for running 🏃🏼‍♀️ Swipe right to see my two personal best times for a 5 & 10km run achieved over a progressive period and where I always finish my run to enjoy a little peaceful view 🥰 ⠀
⠀
1. Mental preparation - Plan and prepare the evening before, choose a time find a route & STICK TO IT. ⠀
2. Mindset - DO NOT compare to what others are achieving... set your OWN PERSONAL GOAL and only compete with yourself. - this took me weeks to achieve.⠀
⠀
3. Preparation - Get a good pair of trainers, comfortable clothing and a good playlist - download either Nike, my run keeper, or Strava running app to track progress👌🏼⠀
⠀
4. Goal setting - If you are aiming for a distance such as 5k don’t plan to complete the entire target distance in one go, break it down to intervals 3-5 min run 1-2 min walk, then next time aim to reduce the walking periods each run you complete. Another way is to aim for time, aim to jog or just keep moving at a consistent pace for 30 mins and see how far you achieve at the end then try to beat this distance next time you run 30 mins. ⠀
⠀
5. I personally like to Fuel my run as I’m not a fan of fasted cardio because I fatigue a lot sooner, so I aim to eat a source of carbs (usually oats or cereal) 1-2hours before a run and then I usually re fuel 30 mins after my run - remember to Hydrate!! ⠀
6. Physical preparation - Warm up & stretch to avoid injury but remember to also cool down & stretch ⠀
⠀
7. Listen to your body throughout the run, control your breathing - DONT START OUT TO FAST - and be patient allow your body time to adapt and track progress. If you are not happy with your first run ask yourself why and make the change for next time, don’t give up after one run thinking that’s enough😉. ⠀
⠀
Most importantly - ENJOY IT 😌 ⠀

Weight loss = calorie deficit ⠀
Weight gain = calorie surplus ⠀
⠀
Firstly let’s break it down and understand what each word actually means🧐
⠀
▶️Calorie = A unit of energy. Our bodies store and burn calories when we consume food and drink. ⠀
⠀
▶️Deficit = the amount by which something is too small⠀
⠀
▶️Surplus = an excess of something ⠀
⠀
So ⠀
⠀
Weight loss = Calorie deficit = which means consuming fewer calories than what your body burns⠀
⠀
**Body eats 1500 calories a day - Body burns 2000 calories a day = a 500 calorie deficit = weight loss.** you have burned 500 extra than what you have consumed. ⠀
⠀
Weight gain = Calorie surplus = is when the amount of calories that we consume each day is higher than the amount of calories we burn a day. ⠀
⠀
**Body eats 2000 calories a day - body only burns 1500 calories a day = 500 calorie surplus = weight gain ** you have eaten 500 calories more than what you have burnt.⠀
⠀
This has to be done consistently over a period of time. Remember Long term consistency beats short term intensity😌
⠀
Please note the numbers I have used are for simple explanation purpose and are not an accurate account for your individual body type ✌🏼⠀
