Today I'm going to share with you my top 10 fitness tips just 10 little things that I always tell my clients that I always tell myself about your overall fitness and hitting your goals so no way sometime today I'm going to get straight into it number one don't expect to get results straight away don't expect to get the same amount of results as the person next to you or anyone that you see online everyone is different it's going to take a different amount of time for you than it did for me than it will for bulb next door don't expect the same thing in the same amount of time and don't expect it to happen overnight don't go into it with this high expectation that you're going to do one cardio session and lose a kilo because it's not going to work that way you need to be realistic that your body works different to everyone else's I mean sure we're all you know born as human beings but that doesn't mean our bodies all work the same way scientifically speaking yes they do but we're not all exactly the same one thing might work differently for me too what it does to you one food might react differently with my body to what it does with yours you need to keep that in mind and on the back of that point don't give up if it doesn't happen after a month or two months or a year keep trying keep experimenting with don't give up number two you have to work hard a little light jog here and there and you know some low intensity work at the gym that's not really getting heart rate up is not going to get the job done if you've got big weight loss goals or muscle gain goals or really any goals around Fitness you have to work hard you have to put in the hard yards you have to sweat no matter what it is you're doing if it's weightlifting running yoga Pilates you need to give it your all you have to put in a hundred percent if you turn up every day and bring 20 or 30% of your a-game and you just kind of cruise along and then wonder why you're not getting results you're not working hard enough you want to be out of breath you want to be sweaty you want your muscles to be burning you want to feel like you've really done something like you've given it your all and yes you can have those days and those lighter sessions where you back off a little bit because you're not really feeling it but you've got to put in the effort need to challenge yourself number three mix things up don't stick to the same old boring routine your routine might not be boring you might love it you might love the exercises you're doing you might love the work you're doing but don't stay on this line okay mix it up mix up your intensity go for different methods different styles of training incorporate different exercises lift heavier weights always push yourself further I find the next best thing when you start to get really comfortable in what you're doing it's not really making you sore anymore it's not challenging you find something else incorporate a different exercise you know if you're constantly doing push-ups make a variation choose something different make sure that you are always progressing and going upwards, number four you got eight well you might be busting your balls in the gym absolutely killing it and then you come at home and having a pizza every night or can soft drink straight away or takeaway for dinner every night you have to realize that Fitness
and food are one you can't out train a bad diet you really really need to understand that burning off calories doesn't give you the right to eat like you're not eating a nutritionally balanced diet you just won't get the results five don't try and spot a target if you are trying to lose weight or body fat from a certain area do not try and spot target you can't do crunches and lose the fat from your abdomen just from doing those crunches you need to do compound things bigger things work the whole body just because you work one area does not mean the fat is going to fall off in that area yes you'll build the muscle in that area which can help make it look more toned and bring up glow parents as a muscle a little bit more but you just can't spot target it just doesn't work if you are trying to lose big numbers on the scale beam or compound work your body overall more so if you're trying to lose 20 kilos doing some bicep curls in the gym working just one arm at a time is not the right way to go about it you need to be doing bigger movements like a squat with a press or deadlifts or you know squat jumps something that's going to work your entire body get your heart rate up a little bit more and if you're trying to lose a little bit of belly fat to show your abs a bit more don't just stick to crunches do some sprints do a little bit of high-intensity cardio add things like squat jumps the more you get your heart rate up the more you challenge your body the more you're going to lose body fat from everywhere you'll get there faster ah-6 don't forget to stretch you cannot work out to the best of your ability if your muscles are tight and cramped and you have bad mobility and bad mobility is so common I mean I have terrible mobility a lot of people have terrible mobility but you need to stretch focus on active recovery go for like walks do some yoga you know look after your body more than just smashing it in the gym ma 7 time off don't forget to take a week off if you feel like you need it if you've been pumping it really hard for a few weeks a few months a year take a week off sit back relax give your body a well-deserved break sometimes the time off will have you come back faster and fitter and stronger then constantly pushing your body down down down down down eight scales instead of focusing on the scales all the time take your measurements you know take your waist your bust your hips your bicep take different measurements that is going to show you a lot more results than just stepping on the scales you might see centimeters come off when you don't see a change on the scales and it will make you feel better or make you feel like you're progressing more and take your body fat percentage especially if you have lost the main amount of weight that you want to but you want to start turning off and shifting a little bit of body fat take your body fat percentage get a personal trainer to do it for you or go get a more complex skin that's going to give you a lot more accurate results than just stepping on the scale okay number nine try plyometrics plyometrics is jumping exercises incredibly effective probably not for you if you've got really bad ankle or knee problems or you know that you can't jump a lot the plyometrics are amazing if you've been doing a lot of cardio and you're not seeing results try plyo it can get your heart rate up just as much as going for a 10 kilometer run or doing some sprints on the treadmill and it will burn more body fat it is super super effective really good for building muscle losing weight increasing cardiovascular fitness everything so do things like burpees squat jumps tuck jumps box jumps star jumps add those kind of things into your sessions number ten last but not least ask for help if you need it don't be afraid to tell someone you're stuck or that you don't know what's right for you or that you're not sure where to go there's people out there that can help you you know like me a personal trainer can give you a workout plan a nutritionist can help you with your food a physiotherapist can help you if your knee is really really bugging you and it's always sore and it's you know affecting your ability to train don't be afraid to go and ask someone when you need the help it will really help you in the long run it'll make sure you get to your goals faster and just give you that peace of mind as well to know that you're on the right track so that is it they are my top ten tips for overall fitness and how to hit your goals a little bit faster I hope you like them I hope there's something in there that you haven't.
