LIFE LESSON LEARNED FOR ME AND YOU

In this video, I explain how last week, for the first time in a long time, I was pretty ill and although it was an unpleasant experience, I’ve come away feeling a lot less fatigued than before, plus I’ve learned a lot more about my body in regards to how it responds to high intensity training as well as having enough sleep.

I think you guys will benefit from watching this as well, plus it may make you think about your own current training regime. Perhaps you’ve been feeling a bit ‘burnt out’ due to your body not having enough recovery time?

Check out the video, there’s a link in my Instagram Bio!

Hope you guys enjoy and if you’d like to find out more about the personal training packages and/or nutrition plans I make for people to lose fat and lose weight, feel free to message me on here or send me an email —> [email protected]

HOW MANY CALORIES DO I NEED TO LOSE FAT

In my recent YouTube video upload, I take you through the simple process of working out the calories you need to start burning fat. Check it out!

VIDEO LINK IS IN MY INSTAGRAM BIO.

You’ll need to know your current body weight, height, your perceived level of physical activity each day/week, whether you have any previous conditions etc. to work out your starting calories. The it will be a matter of trial and error once you have worked out your starting calories to see whether it allows you to lose between 1-2 pounds a week which, in my opinion, is the best rate of weight loss to optimise fat loss and maximise muscle retention.

Hope you enjoy and please subscribe to my YouTube channel if you haven’t already.

LOW CARB DIETS - GOOD OR BAD?

I apologise for the strange facial expression, I was doing this for a YouTube thumbnail and wanted to look confused in the thumbnail as I was going to put a caption above my head….anyway moving swiftly on…

In this video I discuss the good/bad effects of following a low carb diet, I would like your opinion on this topic so give the video a watch (link below);

LINK —> http://bit.ly/2B7XJJI

The main issue with low carb diets for me personally, is that people jump to low carb diets or zero carb diets (also typically known as a keto diet) way too quickly so they experience many negative effects from eating low carbs. These effects can include prolonged feelings of lethargy and low energy, impaired performance when it comes to exercising, and productivity is negatively effected. If the body goes from eating moderate to high carb with a typical person’s diet, but then this person decides to eat strictly low to zero carbs, the body may react negatively due to this drastic change. Instead, if you’re thinking of switching to a low carb diet (this could be due to managing diabetes, being gluten free), if possible, try and take carbohydrates slowly away from your diet whilst adding in more foods higher in fat, therefore this gradual process will give your body more time to adjust to eating lower carbs and this means your exercise performance shouldn’t be hindered that much.

My Productive Morning Routine : Quarantine 2020

Hi all! All of my exams were cancelled, meaning I don’t have any academic work set by school. It’s quite exciting to be able to choose what I do - here’s how I’ve redefined ‘productivity’ and am trying to make the most of my time at home.

1. Wake up and read in bed - 8:00 am

I start off by reading blogs using RSS feeds on my phone, then checking BBC news, then reading an eBook on my iPad. The world’s most successful people often report similar habits with reading for all it’s benefits, but additionally aside from that, having this habit in place stops me from going on social media first thing in the morning.

2.  Workout -8:40am

I use the Chloe Ting workouts on YouTube and do at least one a day. Sometimes I do more, sometimes less, but the endorphins really make me feel happier in the morning, and it’s nice to know you’ve done something good for yourself straight away after getting out of bed. Sometimes, I follow this up with yoga practice or meditation, depending on how I feel. 

3. Shower and choose an outfit - 9:00am

I’ve got to admit, I am one of those people who gets properly dressed in quarantine - wearing joggers all day just makes me feel sleepy and unproductive. I’ve been opting instead for soft, wide legged trousers or a pair of looser fitting jeans (mom jeans/wide leg) and a jumper.

4. Skincare! - 9:20am

I’ve recently been watching a lot of YouTube videos by dermatologists and other licensed professionals recommending certain products. I have quite sensitive combination skin, and I’ve been using the brands Cerave, Cetaphil and The Ordinary. I might make a post on my full skincare routine if people are interested!

5. Journal - 9:30am

I’ve been using the 'self-discovery’ prompts from the blog the bliss bean and they have been really good so far! The process of journaling I find to be really therapeutic, and these prompts help me get the most out of it. It’s really helped me with making certain decisions and changed the way I’ve thought about previous friendships/relationships. This is also where I do my manifestation for law of attraction practice.

6. Duolingo - 9:50am

Since quarantine started I resolved to try and pick up French again, which I achieved a grade 9 in at GCSE, but didn’t take it forward for A Levels. It helps that I have a 40+ day streak on the app now, and my competitive self really doesn’t want to lose it!

7. Bullet Journaling - 10:10am

I love my bullet journal. This doesn’t take me very long, but each day I’ve been logging a few things I’m grateful for, writing down my to-do list, and making myself write down a good deed I’ve done for someone else the previous day. I’ll be posting some images of my bullet journal soon, no doubt.

8. Breakfast - 10:20am

I have the same breakfast most days - oats with almond milk, topped with a banana, any berries we have in the house (today was blueberries and strawberries!), flax seeds and almond butter. It fills me up and tastes really, really good… I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it!

9. Online Learning - 10:50am

Without school, I can do this for as long or as little time as I want, but I’ve been trying to use Khan Academy at least a bit every day. I’ve been working through the Health and Medicine section, looking at all the different body systems. At the moment, for example, I’m making notes from the videos on the Endocrine System.

10. Other projects - 11:30am

The rest of my morning following this massively varies. I’ve started sewing during isolation, and it’s a skill I’m working to improve, as well as re-starting and re-branding this blog, improving my writing skills and so on. Of course, all of those are things I’ve done, but some days I end up lay on my bed watching TikToks. It’s all about balance!

I hope I’ve given you some ideas of your own with this post! I’m really thankful to have what I have right now, and to be safe at home, and I know not everyone is so lucky. All my love and applause goes out to key workers who are being incredible in this time. For everyone else - I hope you are staying well!

Feeling a little down? Well, increasing your serotonin levels might just do the trick. :D
