A moment with Coach Belle.

June 15, 2017realadmin_adminTestimonial

For those of you who don’t know me my name is Belle and I have worked at Real Fitness Training for 10mths now and I have loved every minute of it. I moved down from Queensland (however I ‘am a Blue’s supporter do not fret) in pursuit of something more, to learn and grow as a personal trainer, to do more than just teach someone how to perform a lunge or count reps. I wanted something bigger, better and more holistic rather than mainstream. After what felt like a very short 7mths in Sydney I was fortunate enough to find Real Fitness Training and I haven’t looked back since.

They say school are the most important years of an individual’s life so sit up straight, take note and listen. Well I did…. in P.E or netball training or when it came to the sports carnival. I did my best at school and most definitely enjoyed the socialising side of things however the saying “When you do what you love you never have to work a day in your life!” which at school I could never understand until now. This rings true for me now at 27yrs of age and 10yrs out of school. Sadly I didn’t understand that saying until I changed from childcare into the health and fitness industry.

I came to Sydney with specific goals in mind and an open heart and I can honestly say I have learnt more in the last 10mths than I ever did in the 12yrs I spent at school. Not only has my knowledge and passion grown stronger for personal training in my time here at Real Fitness but my eye’s have been open up to so much more including nutrition but not only what to eat but when to eat it and how much, the focus on macros here is amazing to help with results and while we don’t focus on the scales in the bathroom we shift to the scales in the kitchen in order to re-correct the daily portion sizes. Whether we struggle with larger portion or even worse if we under eat and under nourish our bodies we can correct it. Yoga was neither in my vision nor my vocabulary of health and fitness before I started at RFT. I struggled in every class I went to and became really frustrated with myself for the sheer fact that I could not hold my own bodyweight (however I could perform a deadlift and squat until the cows come home) or the majority of the poses that the instructor was asking of me. This is where mindset came into play for me. Changing the way I talk to myself and the way I perceive myself was something I needed to work on and so I have and continue to do everyday. Don’t get me wrong I have not yet mastered it, it is most definitely an ongoing process. However if I ‘am more mindful with myself and continuing to work my positive mindset than in turn this will help me be a better human and help others that come into my life and seek help with their personal health and fitness goals. We talk to ourselves the most, so why not make it positive talk.

The changes within myself personally and as a trainer have been huge, just ask my family members. Things such as:

BEFORE

  • Mood swings and sleeping difficulty (due to monkey mind)
  • Lethargy
  • Poor digestion/bloating
  • Cardio overload
  • Stiff/sore joints (early signs of arthritis in my right knee)
  • Self doubt/anxiety

 

PRESENT

  • A healthy sleep pattern (improved state of mind due to meditation and yoga)
  • Increased energy levels due to improved nutrition and consistent training regime
  • More strength based rather than cardio focused
  • No more stiff joints (I use to wear a knee guard on my right knee, I threw it out due to regular strength training and good nutrition)
  • No anxiety
  • Healthier gut and zero bloating
  • I’ve dropped 5.1% body fat
  • Increased my deadlift, squat and bench press in total by 85%
  • Most importantly I ‘am a happier human in general

 

I ‘am looking forward to continuing my time at Real Fitness Training as a personal trainer and growing and learning in order to help others become healthier and happier.

 

Coach Belle xx

The 3 most effective stress management strategies The 3 most effective stress management strategies

Stress is not just emotional but it can also be physical. There comes a point where your physical body can be just stressed and tired. So here are 3 of the most effective ways to manage emotional stress as well as physical stress anyone can use. 

1. MEDITATION. At first meditation seems daunting and pointless to some. However it can be an awesome way to give your body both a mental and physical reset from day to day life. Having a crazy day at work just to get home to an even busier family life can be strenuous on the body and mind. So taking 5-10 minutes to just find a quite place where you can just sit relax and breathe. You don’t have to be an expert at MEDITATION to give it a go and feel real benefits just from a few minutes. 
2. SLEEP. Getting a good nights rest sounds so simple but it could be the difference between you being or not being stressed. In the world today we are always go go go and sometimes it’s hard for people to stop their day early to get to bed at a reasonable hour, but SLEEP is an integral part of stress management for everyone. So to put it simply focusing on getting a good 7-8 hours of straight sleep can help anyone manage their levels of both physical and emotional stress. 
3. WALKING OUTSIDE. Just the act of being OUTSIDE during the day or even at night can calm a persons stress. Add in the benefits of WALKING and you have the ultimate stress reliever. Having a long stressful day? Head OUTSIDE and get some fresh air.

Finding time in your day for at least one of these strategies might just change your attitude for the rest of the day. Becoming less stressed is always a positive and their is no harm in trying 1 if not all 3 of these strategies during your day.

🍇The importance of adding plant matter to your 🍇The importance of adding plant matter to your meals🥬

Fruits and vegetables pose many health benefits and play a crucial role to living a healthy lifestyle. It is essential that we are adding plant matter to all of our meals because;

🍆They provide colour and texture and make the food we are eating more appealing.
🥦Fruits and vegetables are convenient and are quick and easy to eat.
🍉Plant matter contains high amounts of fibre which helps keep us fuller for longer and keeps our digestive system happy.
🍌Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories which is of more benefit to us as they are nutritionally rich but low in calories.
🌱Plant matter foods contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals which help us stay energised and feel good.
✅Eating the right amount of fruits and vegetables can help to reduce your risk of lifestyle diseases.

So start of by adding some greens first to your meals with some fruits in between should help in increasing your plant matter intake and watch you start reaping the benefits.

LEGEND OF THE WEEK Congratulations to this super LEGEND OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to this super star 🌟 Joanna B! 
Joanna joined our community a little under 3 months ago, armed with some big strength goals; including performing a bodyweight chin up. This has been the jumping off point for her training plan in which she completes:
3x PT 🏋🏻‍♀️
2-3x Sweat 🏃🏻‍♀️
Having never lifted a weight before coming to RFT, in the last week Joanna performed a:
• 50kg back squat for 8 reps
• 60kg deadlift for 6 reps
In under 3 months! This is largely due to her get in and get after it mentality; her determination and curiosity about what her body can do is unmatched and makes her a genuine delight to train.

Aside from that, Joanna brings such a warm and kind energy into the gym that is appreciated by all the staff and members, and makes us proud to have you as part of our gym, so thank you Joanna!
And congratulations to this Legend! 🌟🏋🏼‍♀️🤩
