Remember why you started? 🤔

Digging deep and having a clear understanding of our ‘why’ can be the game changer. It’s reminding ourselves why we started on this journey, on the deepest level of our values, beliefs and emotions and why we aren’t giving up.💗

Our ‘why’ is not simply to ‘lose weight’ or ‘feel healthier’. It’s deeper than that. It’s the ‘I want to lose weight so I can fit into that little red dress that’s been sitting in my cupboard for over a year and wear it to our Christmas party and feel sexy AF!’💃

For me, when I was on the journey of studying for my certification, there were plenty of road trips to and from class spent contemplating and reminding myself why I was on this journey. My why - I am passionate about health and fitness and it brings me joy being able to help someone become a better version of themselves. To know what it’s like to go from struggling, to building confidence and achieving goals and to help and empower people on this rewarding journey achieve their goals.👏🏻

So what’s your WHY?
Let’s inspire each other on this journey! 🙌🏻💫

Why Do a Functional Movement Screen (FMS) Before Starting a Strength and Conditioning Program?

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS), developed by Gray Cook, is a valuable tool for assessing your movement patterns before diving into a training program. It helps identify imbalances, weaknesses, and mobility issues, giving trainers insight into areas that need improvement.

By addressing these areas early, FMS reduces the risk of injury and ensures your body is ready to move efficiently and safely. It builds a strong foundation for optimal performance, so you can get the most out of your workouts and achieve your fitness goals faster and smarter! 💪 #FunctionalMovement #InjuryPrevention #StrengthAndConditioning

🔑 Consistency is Key! 🔑

When it comes to achieving your fitness goals, it’s not just about intensity or going all out in every session—it’s about showing up, sticking to your plan, and trusting the process. 💪

📅 Why Programming Matters:
A well-structured fitness program is your roadmap to success. It’s designed to ensure you’re working the right muscles, incorporating enough rest, and progressing safely. Whether you’re focused on strength, hypertrophy, endurance, or weight loss, consistent training combined with smart programming delivers results.

🧠 The Science of Consistency:
Consistency allows your body to adapt to the stresses of training. Over time, your muscles grow stronger, your endurance improves, and your overall fitness level increases. By following a tailored program, you give yourself the best chance of reaching your goals without burnout or injury.

🏋️ Tip for This Week:
Stick to your program! Even on the days you feel like skipping a workout, remember that progress is built on showing up, even when it’s tough. Small efforts, day after day, lead to big results over time.

So, what’s your focus this week? Whether it’s lifting heavier, running farther, or perfecting your form, stay consistent and trust the journey!

Drop a 💪 if you’re ready to crush this week’s workouts!
