I used to be ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Until I realised that with an all or nothing approach ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You will get an all or nothing result ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
& absolutely you will get a result ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But for how long? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
(Likely a short time period)⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
& at what impact? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
(Likely long term negative implications)⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
& a point to make … ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Whilst it is amazing to set big facking goals ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
& go for them with everything you’ve got ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
*𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩*⁣

Mindset should be your #1 priority ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
& these are the reasons why ⁣

You have a higher chance of⁣⁣⁣

👉🏼negative body image/ body dysmorphia ⁣⁣⁣

I know this because I’ve experienced it first hand⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
you might skim over those & think they are just words ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But they are very real ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
& very difficult to heal from ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’ve watched it happen to so many people ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
In my opinion ⁣

mindset 𝐢𝐬 the most important part of your body to look after ⁣⁣⁣

It is hugely overlooked when goal setting which impacts on results ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you have a healthy mind ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
you are in a good position to transfer your skills into a healthy body ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣You 𝗪𝐈𝐋𝐋 get better & lifelong results ⁣⁣⁣

A common myth in weight training that I hear all the time! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣
Cmon now! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’ve heard both phrases countless times⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
because ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
there is still this ancient thought process lingering around that you will wake up one morning with massive biceps! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Tbh I wish it worked that way but sadly it does not😂 big muscles are cool x ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But muscle building takes time (along with many other factors) ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I promise you will desperately want muscle to grow when you start enjoying the process - especially on the good bits! 🍑⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
In my experience, the average gal wants to “tone up” ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
& if you are beginning your fitness journey you might not actually know what that means ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
To obtain a toned look means that’s you need to have developed muscle ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Including places like your abs & arms ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
After you have grown a bit of muscle you then can strip back body fat ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You do this in order to see the shape that you have created to your physique creating a “toned” look ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But dropping our egos for a second without only just concentrating on looking good… ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Weight training has so many benefits to our health particularly for us gals!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
- Improved mood 🧠 ⁣⁣⁣
- Sturdy skeleton (for bone density) ⁣⁣⁣
- Improving muscle mass (important for menopausal women) ⁣⁣⁣
- Improved endurance/performance ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The list goes on! These are all mega important for a female body ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
& it’s more fun to say you can squat or deadlift your own body weight 🤪💪🏻

⁣⁣What should you look for in Coaching? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The fitness industry on Instagram (& in life) is overflowing ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There are so many different people who all offer so many different things ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There’s coaches, fitness influencers, athletes etc you’ve seen them all and so have I ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But it can be difficult to identify what you want & who is the best fit for you ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
(I even struggle with this) ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝘚𝘰, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I will give you some brief key points ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
First and foremost…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬…𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Therefore it’s important to pick someone who you want to work closely with as they could potentially impact the rest of your life ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Coaching is a personal service therefore it is at your convenience & individualised to you! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You will be educated, advised & we will work in partnership together⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A coach-athlete centred relationship is prioritised⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There is a no bs policy…honesty is key to results 💩 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You will be fully supported 24/7! (*reminder - you have a personal service*) ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These are only a couple of hand picked factors out of many! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Like I said before…𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I will be putting more daily content out so if you have anything in particular you want me to go over…send me DM ✉️ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Have a good weekend 🙏🏻😅

⁣⁣Introduction to Coaching by Megan🖖🏼⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’m sharing my fitness journey so that you can see how you can achieve the exact same (& better) & transform your life into the way you want it!👆🏻⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣
I started my fitness journey in 2016 when a friend invited me to a bodybuilding competition (I didn’t even know what a gym was at this point & defo didn’t know about bodybuilding 🥴) ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
5 years later….my head is filled with invaluable education & experience through an Honours Degree in Coaching, a qualification in Personal Training & a transformation in lifestyle & mindset! 🧠 ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I have lived and learned and worn the T-shirt & also many plenty of mistakes & life lessons along the way. I’ve made them so that you don’t have to! 😆⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Here are the 𝐓𝐎𝐏 things I know now but wish I knew when I first began my fitness journey…⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
- Form first weight second 💪🏻⁣⁣⁣
- A coffee will do it ☕️ ⁣⁣⁣
- Scale weight doesn’t define your worth … (or how good you look)👋🏻⁣⁣⁣
- nobody actually cares do it for you 🙌🏻⁣⁣⁣
- ALWAYS listen to your coach 🤜🏽🤛🏽⁣⁣⁣
- You can add seasoning to food 💡 ⁣⁣⁣
- Karen needs to mind her buSineSS 🖕🏻⁣⁣⁣
- Baggy T-shirts always when training 😅⁣⁣⁣
- The journey never ends! 🔥 ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Coaching can & will literally 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 your life! ⁣⁣⁣

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐬; 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 👀⁣

Every single person on this earth is anatomically different from each other - our muscles and bones differ in size, length and shape 🦴🍖 ⁣

That’𝘴 science for dummies - but we seem to forget that as soon as we are in a gym 🤔⁣

Exercises that work amazing for someone else’s physiology, may not necessarily work with your physiology in the same way so please stop copying gym bro technique & trying to match what everyone else is doing‼️⁣

Exercise selection should be individualised, specific to your own goals & well...ones that work well with your anatomy! There are a lot of factors to be considered but should be totally individual and specific to you!👇🏻 ⁣

🔹Longer femur (upper leg) ⁣
🔹Shorter tibia (lower leg) ⁣
🔹To get to parallel you need to lean more forward - feels like a lot of load on back more than legs 🦵🏻 ⁣
🔹Has to manipulate the exercise to suit them⁣

𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘺👇🏻⁣

🔸Short femur (upper leg) ⁣
🔸Longer tibia (lower leg) ⁣
🔸Good anatomy for squats ⁣
🔸More upright ⁣
🔸Can get better depth! 🏋🏽‍♂️⁣

Everyone knows there has been massive trends in the fitness industry for some time now of females in particular wanting to grow bigger butts for aesthetics 👀 I contribute to that trend because I’m also one of them! ⁣🤷🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣⁣
Aside from aesthetics, there’s more important reasons that women (and men) should be training glutes earlier & more often!🍑🍑🍑⁣⁣
