Hey
I have found the following tips really helpful with my clients and wanted to share them with you! Weight loss is on, presumably everyone here's, mind for the majority of the day (and night...). I have found with many of my clients that they struggle due to other commitments, looking after the kids, working, housework and social events being the main ones.
Many of my clients believed they didn't have enough time to train or eat right. I thought I would share a few of my tips, that I use to help them :
1. Prepare your meals when you are cooking the kids tea in the evening. Preparation is crucial. Making time to prep meals isn't always easy. When you cook your evening meal, try putting veg on an oven tray, meat on another, then put them in the oven whilst dinner cooks! That way you have tomorrow's meals ready made.
2. Cut your workout time. An awesome exercise session, when pushed for time, can be done in 30 mins. Even if you don't have time to go to the gym. A great bodyweight plan can have massive benefits in half the time.
3. Throughout the day, have food you can eat on the go. It's not always possible to sit down for a full meal. having pieces of meat, nuts or veg sticks for example, can be eaten whilst you are running around with the kids. That way you aren't missing any meals!
4. Get the kids involved. Young baby? Go for a jog or walk with the pram. Older kids? Play football in the park, let them design you an exercise session and 'train' you. Or get them involved in cooking healthy food.
5. TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF. At least 3 times per week, have someone else watch the kids for a couple of hours. Take this time, to have you time. Put your feet up and read a book, have a bath, go for a walk or get to the gym. To really unwind, don't surf the internet, Facebook, read emails (yes even this one!) or watch TV. Have quality chill time!
If you want me to elaborate on any, just let me know. I send a weekly advice email out with tips such as those above.
