Fitness + Nutrition Training

🔸If you are a beginner in the gym, here are two mistakes you should try and avoid.

1️⃣ Not warming up properly. Jumping right into your workout without any type of warm up outs you at a higher risk of injury.

Take 10-15 minutes, warm up your body and stay injury free for the long run.

2️⃣ Avoid starting with isolation exercises first. If you do this, you will burn out your smaller muscles and they will be less effective when you do your bigger lifts such as a bench, squat, or dead lift .

🔸And here is an extra piece of advice… do not ego lift. I used to do this and it is not worth it and it led to an injury.

My gym is closed on Sundays, so it is normally a rest day for me! But I was feeling good and had energy to burn 🔥

🔸25 pushups x 3
🔸25 squats x 3
🔸25 mountain climbers x 3
🔸10 burpees x 3
🔸25 leg raises x 3

And to finish it off, I did 10 lengths in the pool without stopping. A little difficult for me to be honest 😅.

Sometimes I get pretty busy during the day and do not eat.

The other night, I still had about 100 g of protein left to eat and tried to get much as possible into this meal.

I typically eat 3 or 4 meals a day and the protein is more balanced but this does happen on occasion.

What do you eat to make sure you hit your protein goal? 🔥

I was caught up in doing this for a really long time, and it doesn’t help you at all.

Try to focus on yourself and your goals only. It doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing!

Here is a quick demo on how to use the leg press machine.

This one requires you to add the weights, but there is also a version with adjustable weight.

-Get a good position in the seat.

-Bring the weight down at a controlled speed.

-Stop when your knees come to a 90 degree angle and then press back using your heels.

Aim for 10 to 15 reps!

This is a basic tricep exercise which I have used for years, and it has allowed me to get some pretty big arms!

▫️Find a weight where you can do 10-12 reps (should be difficult to get the last couple of reps).

▫️Keep your arms by your side, push down, and you should feel it in the top of your arms.

▫️Use a full range of motion and repeat.

Watch the video & try it out on your next arm or push day.

I was just browsing Google and YouTube and there were many videos of “how to lose weight fast” or “lose 10 pounds in 3 days”.

It is crazy to me that people are putting all that junk out there. Your goal should be to slowly lose weight in a healthy and sustainable manner.

If you are serious about becoming fit and losing weight, it will be a long and hard process. You will sometimes go weeks without having noticeable results, but taking the longer route will be the most effective.

Do not look for the short cuts and be ready to put in the work!

▫️Do not try to lift a crazy amount of weight, especially if you are new or returning to the gym after a long period of time.

▫️Don’t swing your arms, but instead use a nice and controlled motion with your elbows at your side. This will let you get a full range of motion and you get a good squeeze in your bicep at the top of the movement.
