Planning Ahead

When it comes to planning ahead with Health and Fitness goals, which is the best approach to take?

After all dont many of the best things happen without any planning at all. Yet for health and fitness, it seems to need so much planning, from diet to training plans, it can often become very regimented.

As with many things, a balance of both can be the best solution, so not to become too fixed but also to be productive.

Then with a good plan you remain on track to your fitness success, whilst staying open to all opportunities.

Most of all able to enjoy the journey 🙂

To your healthiest and best 🙏💛

Yoga Outdoors

The benefits of Yoga are numerous, however with the added benefit of being outdoors the positive results multiply even further.

With Yoga literally meaning to connect, being outdoors for practice allows us to truly tune in to nature and ourselves, allowing for a deeper calm and connection.

The sights and sound of nature can also help us to relax, therefore helping us to breath deeper and find posture easier to get in to deepen also.

It can also help to build our vitamin D supply, leading to more health &happiness. In addition it can help to improve your confidence and subsequent connection to fellow Yoga practitioners.

Positive Focus

Becoming aware of our mindstates and taking charge of our focus, is a very important and helpful practice for our overall wellbeing.

Once we are our more aware of our mindstate and then able to consciously choose thought processes, we can direct our mind to a positive focus.

Our inner world can shape our outer world so once we have a more positive focus, it becomes far easier to have a more positive lifestyle.

Our choices are vital in directing where we want to go and adapting accordingly, and with a positive focus we will contue to make more positive choices and outcomes.

Leading to positive habits that stay. It all begins within.

Through the practice of deep looking, we can identify the positive seeds we want to water everyday. Even a few days of this can bring transformation. 🙏
– Thick Nhat Hahn

Start today, where you are, with what you have. Set aside some time to meditate daily and set positive intentions. Become more in charge of your mind and focus & you will be sure to see and feel the difference. 🙏💛

3 Steps to Finding Opportunities

Finding opportunities in our lives can help to keep life fun, exciting and engaging. Without the mindset of seeking opportunities, life may become dull and routine as we can become stuck in situations that do not satisfy our needs.

So what are some ways you can find the best opportunities and ensure they fit your needs and goals?

The following is a 3 step process to help you do so;

Identify your needs, intentions and desired outcomes– it’s vital to be clear on these otherwise you may be pulled in to another’s way and goal or distracted in some other way.
Be open minded and adaptable– once you have your outcomes in mind, it is important to be open minded because the way to your outcome may appear to you in various ways. Once you see an opportunity, if it feels right then follow it and be open to adapt as it may change along the way.
Trust your intuition on the journey– as with all journeys things can change and adapt so part of finding opportunities is trusting your intuition. This will lead you to the right place and time when you need to adapt and discover something new.

As always, enjoy the journey, life’s an adventure, a discovery and with this mindset you’ll find many opportunities.

Yours in Health and Happiness 🙂🙏

Towards Dreams

“Before a dream is realized, the soul of the world tests everything that was learned along the way.

It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream.

That’s the point at which most people give up. It’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one ‘dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.” – Unknown

To Gym or not to Gym

With online and home workouts having become more popular since the Pandemic, what actually is the best way to workout, is it to Gym or not to Gym.

For sure you can have great workouts without the gym but keeping good form is essential therefore it is advisable to have a trainer and/or good guidance when you’re following an at home workout plan.

Some of the benefits of not using a gym are;

• Convenience-(saving time)

•Easily accessible

• Healthier-(especially if outdoors)

And of the gym;

• More sociable

• Can be more motivational

• More options and advice

Both ways have advantages and disadvantages and it really depends on what works best for you. The most important thing is that you do exercise and that it’s effective and constructive.

If you need any further support and advice on how you can exercise at home, please do get in touch via the form below.

To your healthiest and best 🙏💛💫

5 Ways to Lose Weight with Low Impact Exercise

A question I have been asked recently is whether it is possible to lose weight with low impact exercise. The answer is of course yes, it just requires a different strategy.

The main benefit of low impact exercise is that it is far safer on the joints and you are less likely to injure yourself or aggrevate a previous injury.

Low Impact exercise is gentle on the body and therefore much easier to approach in terms of motivation also, particularly if you have been injured or struggle with fatigue.

5 ways to lose weight with low impact exercise.

Focus on larger muscle groups.
Do a higher rep range.
Go for a longer workout. (Particularly with cardio. Longer walks 3-4 x a week for example can be an excellent way to help you lose weight.)
Exercise regularly (3-5 x a week is ideal)
Do a combination of weights and cardio. (A common mistake for people who want to lose weight is to just do cardio, ensure to include weights also.)

As with any goal and way of training the right strategy is essential. Following the above advice will certainly get you ahead.

For any further support and advice for your training, please get in touch via the form below.

Stay happy and healthy 🙏😊

How coaching helps you to achieve your goals

Having a coach for life or training goals can really help you get ahead. Heres why;

• Extra motivation, having someone who you can share your goals with and who encourages and supports you to achieve them, can be hugely motivating and make a lot of difference to your efforts and therefore your outcomes.

• Being accountable to someone also gives you that added extra. Knowing that you have to check in with someone and they’re keeping track of your goal and where you’re at alongside you can be incredibly helpful.

• Extra knowledge, whether it be technique, instruction or just that extra angle of perception, a coach can always provide you with that something you may be missing.

If you’re still unsure, the only way to really find out is to give it a try. To get your introductory coaching session please send a message below with your info & details of your goal(s) and I’ll get back to you asap.

5 Benefits of Calisthenics

Moving over from a weight based training programme to purely Calistheics was something I decided to do a few years ago and it has definitely benefited my movement practice in many ways.

These are my top 5 benefits of Calisthenics;

Improved mobility; this one is extremely noticeable, all movement becomes much easier and more fluid.
Whole body strength; within Calisthenics training you are using your whole body in movement, therefore increasing strength all over.
Easier on the joints; although it can be very challenging as a movement practice, it is far easier on the joints.
Doesn’t require equipment; for some exercises, equipment such as bars and bands can be used, but for most this is not required, and for all the exercises very little space is needed.
Improves balance and core strength; due to controlling your own body weight and movement this adds the additional benefit of improving your balance and core strength greatly.

Many people do a combination of Calisthenics and weights and some purely one or the other. However if you are someone who hasn’t given this a try and would like to know more, please get in touch for ideas and programmes.

And as always,

Happy training 😊🙏

The Importance of Core

Most are aware of the importance of core stability, however it can still often get neglected.

This post serves as a simple reminder of why to not neglect the core part of your training.

With regular core training all of the following elements will improve;

• Balance & overall stability

• Functional Movement & Control

• Back strength, particularly lower

• Ability to lift and carry safely & effectively

• Posture and co-ordinated movement

• Injury prevention

For all the above reasons it is essential to add a regular core training element to your exercise routine. It is something you can do daily for as little as 5-10 minutes and can build up to with a variety of different exercises.

In addition to this try to include a regular practice of engaging your core muscles in daily activities such a shopping or washing up. The more you do this the stronger and more automatically activated your core muscles will be.

Below is a short video of a good core activating exercise you can try.

As always enjoy the process and progress.

💪🙂🙏💫

To your healthiest and best,

Miranda
