Why need the gym when you can literally use your own bodyweight to train yourself. Granted the fitness centre gives you an opportunity to socialise and is a hub for motivation, but for the busy bee's who never seem to have time, roll your mat open and try this at home.

The quarantine probably came in with over- indulgence and some stress eating. You probably also are far – off from your summer bod and feeling guilty about not working hard enough over the forced house arrest. Not to worry, these lifestyle changes will get you right no track:

Not a lot of us are used to working around parents, spouse, kids or pets. But the COVID19 crises has forced the world to suddenly adapt to an entirely new lifestyle while still being productive. With the blade of economic slowdown hanging above us, not all of us have time to slow down and acknowledge our mental and emotional health.  

You have a choice to either take this quarantine as an excuse to eat unhealthy and come out only to start over, or use this time to work on developing your fitness and come out stronger.

Let’s talk belly fat! Because 70% of the clients I meet just want to reduce belly fat. It is important to understand that the body decides where to lose fat from once you start exercising and eat right.

A lot of times my clients tell me I am too strict with them and don’t give them a lot of freedom with fitness or nutrition plans. This is sort of true because I obviously want them to get the best out of my programs and see the best version of themselves in the short time we have together.

Most obstacle races require you to prepare your endurance, stamina, balance, flexibility and of course mental strength. Climbing walls and jumping into ice water is really not as challenging as they look. But your mind might give up before you even attempt many of these.

The most common excuses people have for not working out is “lack of time”. The second most common excuses I here all the time as a fitness expert is “too much travel”.

I do not really know if I am a morning person or wake up early because my work demands me to do so. My day starts anywhere between 5.30- 6.30 am and on most days I wakeup before the sound of the alarm going on. This is a good sign, meaning my body has got enough rest and is ready to take on the next day stronger.

Let’s just start of by saying everyone is an athlete (totally stole that from Philip Maffetone)  but I seriously believe in this. I was working as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor when I was at 32% body fat. 

When most women complain to me that they do not have time for fitness, I often tell them that they need to learn to prioritise fitness. But really its much easier said than done. Trying to incorporate fitness when you are a new mom or have a busy work schedule can be hard.

Lately I have not been feeling very motivated personally to do anything much. One of the reasons for this is because I do not have any immediate goal or any finishing line to go for. Without a goal and deadline, I do not feel the need to push myself and have instead been distracted with things not the best for my health.

If you have a super high metabolism and do no gain weight even with a few extra serving of fries and martini's during a holiday, then you are blessed. But most of us are going to gain a few extra kilo's and feel sluggish and bloated as soon as we get back. Here are a few tricks for you to get rid of the holiday belly.

I have already been told not to write about this but ehh, I still am. I really hope as you are reading through, you take this as an inspiration/ motivation and try and look at the positive arguments. 

As a fitness expert I often get women/ girls coming upto me with trouble losing fat in their lower body. I have myself struggled with a lot of fat deposit on my adductors/ abductors (inner and outer thighs), and glutes (butt). Surprisingly though, toning muscles in the lower body is not very hard. 

If you clicked on this post, you are probably expecting me to give you a name of some magic pill or witch craft powder that will melt your fat away overnight. Sorry to bust your bubble folks, but that ain't going to happen.
