How important is exercise for weight loss?

9/24/2019

This is a question I get asked a lot by my clients....perhaps if they are injured, or haven't exercised in a while or simply struggle to lose weight and they worry that a lack of exercise is hindering them...

So here are my thoughts

Exercise is really important for

Heart health
Keeping your joints supple and flexible
Helping with weight stability
Enhancing mental health and a positive mind
Muscle tone
Feel good factor

HOWEVER

If you are looking to lose weight WHAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR BODY is the main thing...you can't out exercise a POOR DIET

So if you don't enjoy exercise at the moment maybe because you feel self conscious or find it hard because you are unfit...or if you are injured DON"T LET THAT STOP YOU EMBARKING ON IMPROVING YOUR DIET

Once you start to eat better and lose a bit of weight you will then hopefully find that you feel more like exercising and the two then go nicely hand in hand....

I am a perfect example of this....I do tons of exercise but I still have to watch what I eat...Yes I can get away with more because I burn such a lot of calories with the level of my activity BUT I have to keep an eye on my food or I gain weight...

So that is why on my 6 week Kick Start Home plan we focus on the food and then work on increasing your activity levels as we go along......if we have people in the group who are happy to exercise from day one then I supply short at home workouts for you do ......

I would love you to join us on the next one starting in just 6 days!!!

Do my clients drink booze?

"But I cant give up my glass of wine"

This is something I hear all the time!

And why should you!

So this is my take on booze and this is what I follow myself and what I tell my clients..

Yes alcohol is not full of nutrients and yes it can give you the munchies and mean that you are more tempted by treats...BUT it is nice and many of my clients and me myself really enjoy a drink and DONT WANT TO GIVE IT UP

So how do you get healthier and lose weight whilst still having a drink?

This is something I will be covering a lot and teaching on my next 6 week Kick Start Home course...BUT for today the tip I will share with you is

Have a think about how much you drink and what drinks you tend to choose.....if you drink 5 nights a week now could you drop to 3.....if you love wine on a Friday and Saturday could you make the Friday a G & T night instead......?????

Maybe you just need to get a bit smarter??

Let me know your thoughts.........what is your favourite tipple?

What shall I cook for the Family?

This is a question I get asked A LOT!

People don't want to have to cook separate meals for everyone, they don't want the hassle and also if they have kids they don't want them to see them eating different things all the time.

So the answer is

DONT

I pretty much, unless its a very spicy dish, cook the same thing for us all to enjoy...I may tweak my meal slightly but not so that anyone would even notice.

I think it is so important to get our kids used to eating what we do from a young age, I haven't got the time to cook lots of different things and also I want my whole family to eat healthily!

Yes shock horror of course my kids eat fish fingers and pizza sometimes...we are all human...but I would like to think that about 6 times a week we all eat the same meal.

So this is something I promote with my clients and in my online groups.....I show them easy family friendly meals that everyone can enjoy!

Let me know your thoughts on this? Have you got fussy eaters at home?

Do you wear a bikini?

Or do you prefer a one piece?

I did a lot of people watching on my holidays last week.....we were in France and there were a lot of French people holidaying in the resort we were at, lots of German, Dutch, Spanish and English....

But it did occur to me how body confident some other nationalities seem to be....not all I am sure but I think on the whole they are really confident to walk around in their bikinis.......a lot sunbath topless....I don't know I just get the feeling that we English sometimes don't have the confidence of other nationalities..

I might be making a sweeping generalisation their but its just something I pick up on when I am away..

Hands up on this for me though...I have always been the one grabbing a cover up if I get up off my sunbed BUT this year I tried really hard to be more confident!

I think their has been a lot in the media in recent times about embracing the way we look and it may have started to rub off on me! I actually walked around without grabbing a cover up...now don't get me wrong I wasn't parading around our campsite in my bikini!!

But I definitely tried to think of my body more positively and tried not to be so covered up all the time...I am 40 and I have had 2 kids...I love a glass of wine and chocolate so I am never going to be rocking a 6 pack...I always want to lose half a stone...I am just like everyone else!

It can be really hard to look at your body in a positive way for some people but we really need to try as we only get one.......

I FEEL THAT AS LONG AS

I eat really well 80% of the time and I exercise.....I need to embrace the body I have been given.....

I would love to hear your thoughts on this........
