BUT it doesn't have to be like this. Wouldn't it better to feel great before, during and after your time away?

Sarah's goals were to lose fat, tone up, get fit and to feel great in her body. 

She:
- lost just over a stone
- shed 20cm from her arms, waist, hips and thighs
- got her blood pressure down
- went from running one minute, walking one minute to being able to run MUCH longer and also take on some KILLER hills!
- improved her muscular strength meaning she can now lift heavier and do more reps when it comes to squats, pushups etc.
- followed the plan and thus her fitness is better than ever before!

6 Tips for Summer Time Training

Hurrah for summer time training!
It's June. That means the great British summer is upon us and we will all be sunbathing as much as possible, getting overly excited for barbecues and complaining about how hot it is (unless it's raining... which is also very likely). 

Training in the summer time is slightly different to training in winter. Here are a few things to consider when the heat goes up and you still have your exercises to do:

L's Review

22/6/2015

"I’ve never felt this fit and content in my own skin in my life! I really get a buzz from seeing my progress week on week and I like how I feel when I’ve completed a workout- my energy levels improve and I have such a sense of accomplishment.

In the beginning, I had lost some weight but was still overweight and was starting from scratch in terms of fitness. I'd never really enjoyed exercise all that much before, but I'd reached a point in my life where I needed to pull my finger out and take care of myself in order to properly take care of my family and the demands of caring for a special needs son.

Sam's Review

"Like most girls I have body hang ups.... I was conscious of my legs which I wanted to tone up, and I was also really conscious of the fact I was so unfit! I seriously lacked motivation and needed that extra push.

My first 2-3 weeks with Polly were great, I was motivated I was energized and full of positivity....but I will be honest there were a few weeks in the middle where I got tired. I was struggling more with the workouts as they were getting tougher, and I felt like I wasn't getting any better. But I stuck at it (mainly because Polly was good at motivating me and I'd always feel more positive after our weekly sessions). ​

"I live between Cornwall and London so when I started with Polly I was dubious about how effective my programme would be due to not having PT sessions on a regular basis but just sticking to the plan she'd written out. However, I've been overwhelmed with the results!

Caroline's Review

Caroline now complains that she needs new clothes.
Caroline felt rubbish, did not like what she saw in the mirror and felt uncomfortable in her clothes. Not Cool. She decided that she had to do something about it, not only for her physical health, but for her mental health as well.

During her plan she focused on balanced healthy eating which meant she still had chocolate and still enjoyed a few wines. She STILL lost weight steadily, she STILL got more muscle and STILL burnt more fat (ie she toned up) and she STILL managed to improve her running by miles. 

Here's her views on the last twelve weeks...

Meal Planning- Why and How?

30/10/2014

Comments

 
Eating too much or too little, eating until stuffed, mindlessly snacking, choosing things in a hurry which are certainly not the healthiest options- If this sounds like you and what you're doing now isn't working, then it may be time to give meal planning a whirl.

I am a big advocate for meal planning. At times when I need more structure, I always fall back on this little trick. It takes me less than 2 minutes and saves me time and stress.

There are many ways to make a meal plan and no 'wrong' way, so there is bound to be one to suit you.

Body Confidence: Five Tips On Learning To Love What You Have

3/9/2014

Comments

 
As a teenager, I hated my body with a passion. I couldn't see that anyone else could be worse off than me and was totally obsessed with wishing it perfect. My body confidence didn't change whether I was fat or thin, because I would only ever see the 'bad' parts. I was miserable, ashamed to be me, and going out would take ages because nothing would ever look good enough. 

However, with practice and patience, anyone can learn to not only accept what they have, but embrace it
. 
It's ok to have goals BUT, it's also VERY ok to love where you're at right now.
