A goal without a plan is just a wish. Full disclosure: I don’t like meal prep.
Nevertheless, my nutritional goals are to improve body composition and to support training performance whilst training clients in the gym, working as an online coach, producing online content like this blog, and spending some “me time” with my partner or pursuing my hobbies. For this reason, it would be counterproductive to simply throw meals together as and when, therefore I have found ways to make meal prep fit into my lifestyle rather than the other way around. Do you feel overwhelmed at the prospect of spending all Sunday making meals for the week? Then read on! In this article, I aim to outline a number of strategies that have helped me and my clients tailor goal-appropriate nutritional choices to a hectic lifestyle.

The clock is ticking. Are you becoming the person you want to be? It’s January 1st and you haven’t thought about exercise or nutrition for two weeks.
You have been eating a lot more than usual, drinking a lot more than usual – and I don’t mean water – and sitting around a lot more than usual. Maybe you feel bloated or sluggish and you think it’s time to “get back on track.” How do you do it? In this article, I intend to cover some strategies to incorporate healthy eating and exercise back into your life after a “holiday layoff.” I’ve worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. Your mindset dictates the way you feel about your choices. Are you happy to diet or do you only do it “because you have to”? Are you happy to work out or is it a chore?
If you believe a certain truth, then you will behave accordingly. So, if you switch from a truth that doesn’t serve you to one that aligns with your goals, you are setting yourself up for success. The three tips in this article can help you reframe your fitness decisions so that you can achieve your objectives and enjoy yourself in the process. As a side note, when I was first brainstorming ideas for the piece, I thought to use the festive period for context, but in hindsight this advice can apply to your lifestyle as a whole. When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren’t the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation. Working in a commercial gym, I have the opportunity to talk about fitness with individuals from all walks of life. When I ask how their training is going, the number one obstacle they bring up is the big bad M-word: motivation.
In fact, many of them hire a personal trainer just to have someone to push them to exercise and eat in a different way. But what is motivation? And how can you manipulate it to succeed in your fitness journey? In this article, I will examine different types of motivation and how to harness the most common one to achieve your fitness goals. Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. How long have you been tiptoeing around the idea of getting fit and healthy?
How many times have you been put off by the amount of contradictory information available on the internet? How many times have you felt your knowledge was inadequate for you to make progress, so you never got started? You aren’t alone. Countless people may not have easy access to a personal trainer or an online coach, so they postpone their fitness journey indefinitely because they feel like they lack the knowledge and confidence to do it properly. I’m not going to lie. This article isn’t a substitute for a personal trainer’s expertise. No random piece of writing on the internet is, regardless of what the title might tell you. Nevertheless, I’m going to do my best to offer you a couple of tips to get you started on the path of building healthier habits around training and nutrition. |
