Ever heard this term before? 🤔
Mind-muscle connection means bringing your attention to your body as you move. It also means thinking about actively engaging the target muscle as you engage in movement.
This is important for your workouts as it helps activate the muscle fibres even more than without any attention
Think about what muscles you’re trying to work when you’re next exercising 💭

Are you aware of how important sleep is to your fitness? 😴
Sleep gives your body time to recover, conserve energy, and repair and build up the muscles worked during exercise. Good quality sleep is essential for athletic recovery.
(I can assure you I normally come to the gym to workout not sleep on the equipment)

Results don’t happen overnight. Staying consistent is key!!
Most people workout and eat healthy for a couple of weeks, don’t see the results they expect and then give up 😢 that there is the error
If they continued to be consistent however they would then see results
Remember results take time!! Be prepared to put in the work and stay at it, you will see results!!
If you feel like giving up, drop me a message and I will help get you back on track 🧚🏼♀️

We are going back to the basics here!
As a reminder exercise is great because of these:
✨it controls your weight - whether you want to gain or lose weight
✨reduces health conditions and diseases - e.g stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, different types of cancer
✨improves mood - stimulates brain chemicals that will leave you happier and more relaxed
✨boosts energy - heart and lung health will improve providing more energy
✨can be social - you can connect with various people at the gym or in classes
Get moving today 🏃🏻♀️
