Starting Training This Summer

Group of women gathered for group photo at the gym

The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting sunnier, summer is just around the corner. With the change in the air, a level of excitement may be growing inside you. Beach days, drinks by the pool, outdoor adventures with friends and family.

With the change in the air, a level of apprehension may also be starting to emerge. A sense of dread for swimwear weather or a level of doubt if you can actually keep up with your friends as they explore the great outdoors.

We get it, summer can bring a number of mixed emotions.
And with this mixed emotions, you may want to make a decision to give you an immediate result even though you know it’s probably not the best thing to do.

You may restrict your carbohydrate intake to help you feel less bloated (but in reality that’s just a bullshit excuse to justify your actions).
You may add more training sessions than you really need in order to start pushing your results faster.
You may sign up for a cleanse or a detox because it will give you the initial kick you need to get motivated to see some results (and you promise to yourself that you will start to eat sensibly after that).

The pull to engage in behaviours like this can be alluring and powerful. Many of us have been there before but you don’t have to jump down that rabbit hole and get lost in a world where it can feel like there may be no coming back.

We have worked with thousands of women over the past 5 years and we have some real, honest steps for you to consider to help move you closer to your goals without sacrificing your mental and emotional state.

These strategies work. You may have heard these things before. If this is the case, let’s get real ladies.

Simple strategies from one strong women to the next:

– Set yourself goals (and be realistic)
– What do you want to achieve and why?
– Why is this goal significant/makes you get up in the morning?
If this is a goal that will likely take 6 months, set milestone markers along the way.

***** If you haven’t done this don’t move on. We have great resources to help here. If you need some steps to move forward ask us how. *****


– Determine your days of training
Book in your training sessions just like you would an appointment. Your health and fitness is as much a priority as your next hair appointment. Results come from consistency. Consistently showing up and putting in time and effort.

– Get yourself a program (and preferably a Coach)
The allure of the next Bikini Body Booty Blast Online Program can be forever real. Meet a human being, talk, connect and start a training relationship with someone that understands who you are. What your struggles are, what your strengths are and what you need in your life to move forward.

– Get honest with what you are eating
Whether your goals are chasing that next PB or body composition related, every health and fitness goal needs to be nourished appropriately. Be honest with what you are eating so that you can see how to best move forward. There is no shame in wanting to nourish your body for your goals so let’s take the secrecy stronghold off in order to move forward.

– Consider your nutrition basics
You will all be aware of nutrition basics you need to consider. Eat more vegetables, drink more water, consider your protein intake, eat frequent meals, limit refined sugars and fried foods. You don’t need to muddle your head with advanced nutrition concepts right now. Consider, respect and employ your basics. If you lack a knowledge skill set, ask us. We can help.

– Pursue your physical strength with performance markers
Adopt a program that focuses on technical improvements to build a foundation for strength improvements. There is something so powerful about feeling, exploring and discovering a physical strength in our body. When you do something with your body that you didn’t know you could do. When you do something with your body that celebrates and doesn’t punish your body, your results truly do flourish.

From one strong women to the next. You can do this!

The “Summer body shred” can be a pull but you are smarter than that and know better.

If you are unsure where to start or why your goals are not moving forward we can help.

Send us a message and lets make success together.

Spend a weekend with us this coming October at our 2 Day Training Camp.
