How to Manifest the Body you desire!

motivation postpartum Jan 14, 2022

If you can manifest your dream job, dream house, dream life etc, why can’t you manifest your dream body?

 

Imagine living your life in the most energized, healthy, and beautiful body you can. I’m a firm believer in the philosophy that ‘thoughts become things’ and that ‘you are what you think’. If you can manifest a pay rise, a new job, a dream house etc, there is absolutely no reason why you can’t manifest the body you’ve always wanted. Now of course you can’t change your height or overall structure. But you absolutely can manifest your way to becoming strong, flexible, toned, and tight if you follow the steps to manifest your dream body and take action.

 

Not only can you manifest better health, but you can also manifest your dream body with the Law of Attraction - (a highly regarded philosophy that teaches us that we attract what we THINK so you’d better think positive thoughts). Sure, you are going to have to...

Why you need a workout buddy for accountability...

motivation postpartum Jan 10, 2022

If you’ve been trying to get more physically active but just haven’t been able to find the motivation, how about working out with a little help from your friends? Even the CDC recommends it! Lol.

 

We know that training the mind to be disciplined makes working out WAY easier, and when you harness extra discipline from a friend, it becomes even easier still. Like a mindset Power Up! 

 

You and your workout buddy will cheer each other on. When you work out with a friend, you’re more likely to:

 

  1. Feel more motivated. When you and your buddy encourage each other, you’ll work harder (and get better results!). And there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition.
  2. Be more adventurous. You’re more likely to try something new with a buddy. It will feel more like fun and less like a workout.
  3. Be more consistent. When someone else is counting on you to show up, you won’t want to let them down.

 

To enjoy all these...

Train your mind like you train your body

The research is clear. You can improve your physical and mental health by thinking this more frequently…

Neuroscientists tell us that because body-centric lifestyle changes (like diet and exercise) are difficult to maintain, they recommend starting with the mind. And they've identified the one thought that, when regularly focused upon, is most likely to propel your mind and body into an upward spiral.

That thought? Gratitude.

I know, i know, sounds kind of granola right..? But there's actually extensive research into the positive mental and physical effect of that specific thought and emotion, according to a fascinating article published by the Wharton Health Care Management Alumni Association. Here are a few highlights:

1. Gratitude makes you more likely to exercise.

People who keep gratitude journals "reported fewer health complaints, more time exercising, and fewer symptoms of physical illness." (According to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology

Tips for C-Section Scar Healing

c-section postpartum Dec 10, 2021

Where are all my fellow c-section mammas at..?

 

For decades i had dreamed of a beautiful, unmedicated home birth. But due to a complicated pregnancy, i had accepted the fact that a hospital birth was the safest option for me. I came well prepared with an incredible doula, birthing techniques, breathing techniques, pre natal yoga, pre natal pilates, all the things. After 20 hours of unmedicated labor, the mention of an emergency c-section was more disappointment than i could ever have imagined. If you’ve been there too then you know. But we did it! We did what we needed to do to keep ourselves and our babies safe. We are brave. We are strong. We are RESILIENT.

 

Most likely a c-section wasn’t what you chose for your own birth story either. But we birthed. We became mammas. And it was beautiful and stunning and we got through it. I cried through mine. I cried because it wasn’t how i wanted things to go. I cried because i felt like a failure. But i...

What is a low pressure ab exercise and why i teach them when working to retrain & reconnect the core…

So we all know and love high pressure ab exercises (crunches etc), but what exactly is a low pressure ab exercise? Well, it’s pretty much any ab exercise where the spine stays in neutral, and it can have varying degrees of intensity. Here’s an example of a moderate low pressure ab exercise for you to try:

 

  • Lie on your back and bring your legs into tabletop position.
  • Lift your pelvic floor and wrap your transverse abs to a level 3 like we talked about above 
  • Bring your right hand and press it against your left knee and raise your left hand up towards the ceiling
  • As you exhale, press your right hand and your left knee towards each other quite hard without changing the position of your spine or pelvis, whilst simultaneously reaching your left arm and right leg out straight to about 45 degrees from the ground (diagonal)
  • As you inhale, bring it back in
  • Think about diagonal energy coming across your core from your right ribs to your left hip and notice just how...

Let's Make The Last 6 Weeks of 2020 Really Count! 💫

If you know me, you've probably heard me say before that it takes 4-6 weeks of consistent workouts to notice a significant change in the body. And just 72 hours before we start to loose some of that fabulous muscle tone we've worked so hard for. 

Now don't let that discourage you. On the contrary. Personally I think that might be the most motivating thing I've ever heard!

And since there is just under 6 weeks left of 2020, it's the perfect amount of time to get a really good head start on our 2021 workout goals. Because why wait til January 1st when we can do it now?!

So unless you are injured or sick, you want to make sure that you don't ever leave 3 full days in between your workouts. Why? Because the body CRAVES movement. And because working out will make you feel AMAZING!

If you get your workouts in this week for no other reason than because it makes you feel amazing, then my work here is done my friends!

So let's get those workouts scheduled...
