Is being fit just about being able run?

September 5, 2016realadmin_adminMindset, Movement

I think there is so much more to being physically fit..

We want everyone to have a clear understanding on how we program and why. Have you ever noticed the way our timetable works? There is strength, conditioning and yoga.

WHY? What is the point of being strong if you can’t even reach your toes, what is the point of being flexible if you can’t even lift your own body weight, what is the point of being fit if your not strong or mobile.
WE BELIEVE BALANCE IS BEST.

It is such a great feeling being mobile, strong and fit all at the same time. It helps you function better, look better and most importantly feel better.

We encourage you if you haven’t tried a yoga class, strongman or conditioning class to do so. If you have never done yoga or have done it once and really did not find it your “thing” try again. You need to give it time because I was exactly the same and now look at me I am teaching it. I use to always be about go, go, go, lift heavy, run fast and yoga was way to slow for my liking. What??! I had to be left alone with my own thoughts for a whole hour??

BUT thats exactly what I actually needed. I needed to slow down. I needed to become more mindful, I needed that balance in my life. The calmness, the letting go, the opening of the joints which was helping me let go of all the anger, frustrations, fear, and sadness that I was holding onto.
The Yin to the Yang.

Yoga has helped me reduce my anxiety, which has encouraged me to be more mindful and conscious of me, eating slowly, eating less, completely changed my body tone and shape, core strength and less injuries
(I use to have to go and see a chiro and acupuncturist every 2nd week and I have not been for over a year)

When we created the Yoga and meditation space we wanted to create a space completely free from judgment where you could be an absolute beginner and inflexible but still feel comfortable, encouraged and receive the many benefits that yoga provides.

We all have to start some where, this is exactly how I started, whilst travelling and practicing yoga all over the world in some places I saw a kind of stigma around how good you were. I wanted to create a humbling and inviting studio in which definitely could challenge you but also motivate and inspire you to do the best that you could do on that day.

I ask you to give it a good go, constant and consistent, one month, once a week. This will help you feel the countless benefits yoga has to offer.

Mobility is a way of life.

If your in the Hills District or close to the Hills District we are currently offering $20 for 10 days for any NEW students or you may look at our many different yoga options.

If you are a member of our personal training programs this is for free so please come and join us. If you are not close to us, trial some classes close to you and start feeling better again.

Namaste
Vicky

HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔 Being aware and mo HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔

Being aware and more present with our daily nutrition seems to be less and less common. What are some ways we can become more aware of what we eat?

1. Set an intention. How do you want to feel at the end of the day? Tired and lethargic? Or strong & healthy? If the answer is strong & healthy than packaged foods and sugar aren’t going to get you there.

2. Track your food. In order to become more aware we need to understand the calories that are coming in. By tracking your food you can understand what your food is made up of in terms of nutrient value.

3. Where your focus goes your energy will flow. Focus on consuming less processed more whole foods. Less alcohol more water. Increase your protein intake and your sugar consumption will naturally drop off. 

Combining these three things when deciding on meals for the day or week, writing a shopping list or when you are eating out with friends. These simple and very achievable guidelines will help you become more mindful and back on track after the festive season.

HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION With HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION

With the weight loss industry promoting new diets almost weekly that will shed fat, increase muscle mass, put you into ketosis, detox your organs, improve your physical performance and leave you feeling energised... But only if you exclude certain macronutrients, food groups or just eat meat and animal products only...?
It can be easy to see why people feel confused and lost when it comes to figuring out what they should eat. Today I am going to break it down into the 3 most important takeaways that will get you started on a healthy, balanced path:

1. Calories in VS calories out will always be top priority 🍉: if you eat more calories than you burn, your weight will increase and the inverse is true. Your goals will discern how much or how little you should be eating but by complying with your calorie limit, you will achieve the result you are after
2. Protein Protein Protein 🥩: we talk about it all the time but it is seriously one of the most neglected macronutrients even though it provides the most benefit by far. Protein not only resynthesises muscle which promotes growth (therefore increasing our caloric demand meaning we can eat more) but it also increases satiety, meaning when you consume enough protein, you don’t feel as hungry for the snacks or sweets that will derail you long term 
3. 80:20 Rule🍔: this one is my personal favourite and where most people get stuck. If eating 1 burger on a Saturday night with some friends is what helps you stick to your nutrition plan for the rest of the week, eat the burger. When we don’t allow ourselves to indulge in the things we love every now and then, we inevitably experience burnout and give up entirely. Just remember 80% whole food: 20% soul food.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS SUPER ⭐️ BERNADETTE!! CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS SUPER ⭐️ BERNADETTE!!

Bernadette is our latest client of the month. Finding her spot on the wall of fame, Bernadette has had raging success since she first started here at RFT. 

“B” started with the end goal in mind and hasn’t forgotten it since. She has been renamed “Little Miss Consistent” sticking to 
🏋🏼‍♀️x3 PT sessions/wk 
🚶‍♀️committing to increasing her daily movement
📓 tracking her food on a consistent basis over a year and a half
🥵 and getting 1-2 sweat sessions in per week
As a result B’s body composition has consistently (and never spiked or increased at any point!) gone down. Body fat has decreased and muscle has either stayed the same or increased. 

Working in a high pressure full time job, looking after her two precious children, wife, and everything in between Little Miss Consistent definitely deserves these results and more!! 

I am so very excited to see where 2021 takes her. Watch this space!
