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 might just be feeling confident looking in the mirror.

Here’s what we believe are the key fundamentals to YOUR best body.

Mental Health

The most important part of all. Let this be a realistic, HEALTHY image. 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 an on call hair stylist (we all would love that)....

If an “image” is what your after, ensure that model is at least a similar height, body frame, ethnicity..... you see where I’m getting at? I’m 5,4 with a VERY mixed background. I would love to look like the 6 foot tall runway girl but it’s unrealistic for me to have a goal where no matter how long I meal prep and train - the end product isn’t realistic.

Think of what the best version of YOU is and envision that every day!

Mental health is the first step in starting a journey towards your best body. Ensure you are starting this journey for the right reasons. It should be for you and only YOU! Instagram and social media in general is beginning to give woman a false idea on what being healthy, sexy and confident means. Social media might be lying to you.

Nutrition

Ahhhh.... we’ve been here countless times & nutrition plays a huge role. Now, depending on that dream body goal, we could be needing to gain weight, loose weight or tone up. This is where having an educated coach comes in handy. This is the "fine tuning" area where a diet and training plan specific to YOUR body, YOUR lifestyle and YOUR goals is extremely important. It's not a "one size fits all"deal.

Loose weight - calorie deficit

Gain weight - calorie surplus

Develop a chiselled upper body and work on building strong toned legs while ensuring you still have incredible endurance during cardio...... get a coach!

Fitness

Just like nutrition, it all depends on your goal! Sets, reps, types of workouts all play a key role. The higher the reps the more calories you'll burn. This can be ideal for toning up and loosing weight. The higher the weight, the more you can focus on strength and building more muscle.

There’s hundreds & thousands of workouts on the net. Our upper body doesn’t necessarily need the same rep range or sets as our lower, all our bodies are different. Here is where again, a coach comes in handy to get you started.

Timeframe

“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 - DO NOT RUSH.

Have a strategy towards your goal and set yourself a realistic date to achieve this by. Weather this 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, for example in two weeks I want to be 1 kg down, this will bring you closer to the long term goal.
