Knowing what you’re doing is just the start. Here’s how you can achieve success by following through on your goals. GETTING A PLAN is one thing. Following that plan through to its end is a completely different task. We’ve all had that workout plan, nutrition advice, or cardio routine that we hoped would get us on track with the version of ourselves we want to become. Finding a plan isn’t the part people have trouble with: It’s the follow-through, sticking with the program every day. I get it! Most people start new programs with the best of intentions, but then life gets in the way. Late hours for a work project, a sick child, feeling overwhelmed, or any number of monkey wrenches can derail the program, and sometimes you never get back on track. This is the pain point that keeps many people from making the changes they initially set out to accomplish. Luckily, that is all in the past. Here are the top tricks and hacks I suggest to my clients to help them go from well intentioned to well equipped! 1. Choose Small Goals, or Mile Markers, to Achieve Along the Way We all have goals […]

The holidays are a wonderful time to reflect, but once the ball drops, it’s a cue to look forward and map out your goals for the upcoming year. For many, that invariably includes a vow to be more physically active. And why not? Regular exercise is shown to strengthen muscles and bones, boost mood, reduce disease risk, and increase longevity. It can also help you keep your weight in check, if that’s on your list of resolutions. Yet, the best intentions don’t always lead to unwavering self-discipline and habits that stick. If this sounds familiar, consider whether wellness pledges of years past have lacked clarity. “The problem is often a goal we think we should set, versus one that’s actually important to us,” says Allison Grupski, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and vice president of behavior change strategies and coaching at Weight Watchers. “Or, it’s that we haven’t gotten a clear idea of what [a goal] will look like when we reach it.” If you’re dedicated to making your goals come to fruition this year, use these research-backed tips to inject new momentum into your intentions, and transform your get-healthy resolve into a reality. 1. Identify the “Why” If a […]

A good workout session also consists of good preparation to make the most out of it. Working out is not only about hitting the gym and lifting weights. A good session also consists of good preparation to make the most out of it. Here are some common pre-workout mistakes to avoid: Lifting on an empty stomach: Lifting or working out on an empty stomach with the goal of burning more calories will yield the opposite effect. While your body is running low on fuel, it turns out that the largest source of energy readily available for loss is unfortunately not fat, but muscle. Eating a heavy meal: Eating a heavy meal too close to a workout can make you feel nauseous and sluggish. This impact is because your body hasn’t had enough time to digest the food properly. Therefore, it is best to have a light snack a while before the workout. Not stretching or warming up: Warming up is as important as any exercise in your workout routine. It increases blood flow to your muscles, raises body temperature, and most importantly, it reduces the risk of injury to your body.

You’ve been lunging all this time, probably without even knowing it! If you’re going to be exercising at home then the lunge is a great home leg workout.

Some of us would rather lean on a whole bunch of justifications and rationalizations, which in reality are just polite code words for excuses. At the same time, they place their fitness goals—and the time needed to achieve these goals—at the bottom of the priority scale and instead accept the increased risk of long-term health issues.

Most people know that they need to keep hydrated in order to stay energised. But it can be easy to underestimate how much hydration can affect your workout. It doesn’t help that there are so many contradictory statistics about how much water we’re meant to drink each day, and how frequently. So what are we supposed to believe? We thought it was time to set the record straight. Here’s our definitive guide on how you can stay hydrated before, during and after a workout. Effects of dehydration on the body You’d be forgiven for believing that only considerable dehydration can have a detrimental effect on exercise; we’re talking headaches, excessive perspiration and general aches. But did you know that a mere 2% reduction in fluids can result in a 10-20% degradation in performance? That means your performance can be sapped even when you don’t feel dehydrated at all. The tell-tale signs of dehydration are thirst and dark-coloured urine. It can also cause digestive issues and constipation, and can even make you feel hungrier, because a dehydrated brain confuses hunger and thirst. When you spot any of these symptoms, your body needs some water. How much water should I drink […]
