6 Week Reset - 5 quick tips and 5 mistakes
Quick tip #1: Track your eating
Yeah it can be a bit tedious. But I wouldn't be suggesting something if it didn't work.
After 10 years of personal training, I hear what works from my clients.
And research shows that people lost body fat just by tracking their food. Even if they weren't given any instruction on what to eat.
You can track your food in our app. You'll should have your login details sent to your email.
Quick tip #2: Get a fitness tracker
I use the Fitbit Inspire 2. Because of it's sleep tracking and step tracking.
Walking more will burn calories, help you lose body fat, and it's not that hard. You can still do a full training session and then later do 45 minutes of walking.
It can be a stress release and it definitely adds up. If you don't know how many steps you do now, it's impossible to know if you're walking enough to burn fat.
People underestimate how effective this can be!
Quick win #3: exercise with a friend
I believe exercise is a social thing. It's meant to be done with other people.
You can make friends at the gym, or getting an existing friend involved. It'll improve your accountability and make it more fun.
It's important to create a positive association with exercise, so that you can train yourself to like exercising more.
Quick with #4: eat more protein
High protein diets are gaining more popularity. Because protein makes you less hungry. And foods that are high in protein are low in calories.
Get used to looking on the back of packets, or tracking food in our app. That way you can learn what's high in protein and what isn't.
It simplifies nutrition a lot. As long as it's high in protein, it's generally healthy and will help you build toned muscle. And lose body fat.
If you did nothing else but eat high protein, you would naturally build toned muscle. And lose body fat. Even if you didn't exercise.
Quick win #5: using a lacrosse ball
You can get these from Kmart of rebel. But it has to be hard rubber, exactly like a lacrosse ball. Because those super soft ones that feel like a tennis ball won't do anything.
You can avoid needing to go to the physio and myo by learning how to use it properly.
Just stand up against a wall and press into your back. Or lay down on the ball where your injury or tightness is.
Mistake #1: not having a night time routine
Even if you don't have insomnia, and fee like your sleep is ok, it could get better.
By sleeping 5% better, you'll have 5% more energy. By putting 5% more effort into exercise, you'll get 5% more results, quicker.
  1. Decide what your bed time will be
  1. 1 hour before, turn off electronics
  1. Do something that calms your brain down. Like reading.
Sleep is the #1 most important thing if you want to improve your health. Take it seriously and take steps to improve it.
By improving your sleep, you'll be less stressed, have more energy, and feel better.
Mistake #2: writing off the weekend because you ate some junk food
A common mistake is people might eat something they shouldn't, then turn it into a blizzard binge. Or just give up for the weekend, then decide to start next week again.
It won't really matter if you have ice cream or a burger on the weekend. But you you'll need to plan around it.
You can plan to eat these foods, as long as you track in the app. By keeping within your calories, you won't destroy your progress. Where people go wrong is they spiral out of control, not tracking it, and then going over their calories by 1,000 or 2,000 in a weekend, or a day.
You can undo all your hard work of eating clean during the week, just by having 1 or 2 off days. That weren't planned or tracked.
Mistake #3: skipping meals or getting hungry
Diets don't work when they're too restrictive. Because you'll just feel like eating everything later on. By planning what to have ahead of time, you can make it easy for yourself.
You won't have to decide and think 'what do I feel like eating.' Instead, you've already got something. Or you already know what to eat.
Being hungry can help you lose body fat, but you want it to by minimal. Slightly hungry. Eat until 80% full. And that's how you lose body weight or body fat. And get lean.
Mistake #4: eating desert when eating out
It's OK that you have social events or business dinners. Just don't go overboard. Just because you're eating out, doesn't mean you've ruined your diet.
If it's not possible to track this food, you can eat until your full, or 80% full.
The only mistake people make is that they eat until they're full, and then eat a high calorie desert on top of that.
A desert could be 500-1200 calories. Which could undo several days of dieting.
Mistake #5: not scheduling workouts
Think about workouts like any other appointment. Inspiration is never going to strike right at the time that you need to go. There's a 99% chance you won't feel like going. But just by going and doing the warm up, you'll feel better. And once you're there and have done the warm up, you won't want to go home.
It's hard to half finish things. So by just going and doing the warm up, you'll want to tick off all your other exercises and complete the workout.
