Having your “best body” means something different to everyone
It might be fitting into a certain size, being a certain weight, having defined quads... it may even be something as simple as being confident looking in the mirror.
The most important part of all. Let this be a realistic, healthy image/feeling you have as a goal. For example, is your goal to be the healthiest version of YOU or look like a Victoria secret model who has the genetics, height and almost every need mostly accessible. If an “image” is what your after, ensure that model is at least a similar height, background... you see where I’m getting at? I’m 5,4 with a mixed background. I would love to look like the 6 foot tall Brazilian girl but it’s unrealistic for me to have a goal where no matter how long a meal prep and train - the end product isn’t realistic.
Think of what the best version of YOU is and nurture that - because you deserve it!
Find your “why” would that be your best body. “I want to be a size ten because I know mentally I would have worked hard to achieve that frame, and I will feel a lot lighter in my daily activities”. Mental health in starting a journey towards your best body is key. Ensure you are starting this journey for the right reasons, for you and only YOU!
Ahhhh.... we’ve been here countless times when nutrition plays the BIGGEST role. Now depending on that dream body goal, we could be needing to gain weight, loose weight, tone up. This is where having an educated coach comes in handy. This is the part that becomes almost tedious in a sense - this is where results happen.
Loose weight - calorie deficit
Gain weight - calorie surplus
Develop a chiseled upper body and work on building strength in your legs while ensuring you still have incredible endurance during cardio...... get a coach !
Just like the above - it all depends on your goal! Sets, reps, types of workouts all play a key role. The higher the two the more calories you burn - ideal for toning up and loosing weight, the lower the weight, the more you can focus on strength and build more muscle.
There’s hundreds of thousands of workouts. Our upper body doesn’t necessarily need the same rep range or sets as our lower - all our bodies are different. Here is where a coach again comes in handy to get you started.
“I’ll start Monday”, “I’ll start in the new year”..... we’ve heard it all before.
Is your goal long term, short term, is it something like loosing 20 kgs or gaining 10? Our advice - DONT RUSH.
Strategise your goal and set yourself a realistic date to achieve this by. Weather is 12 weeks or 24 - nothing can be done overnight.
Setting a date is so important, it gives you something to work towards! Set short term goals like in two week I want to be 1kg down then set the long term goal. Your dream body isn’t so hard to have! You might already have it but your mentality isn’t quite there yet.
Yours in health
