Losing weight Isn’t just about doing the work in the gym

You’re there.

You’ve decided that now is the time to lose weight and you’ve decided to take the right route.

You want to take the advice, guidance and coaching from a fitness professional.

But, losing weight isn’t just about what you do in the gym, it’s also about other things such as your stress levels, relaxation, mindset and motivation, and (some people say is ultimately important) what you eat to fuel your body.

There are so many facets that go into losing weight that to consider it just to be about working out in the gym or health centre and then eating the right foods is single-minded thinking. There is so much more than that.

The psychological aspects have just as much impact on your motivation (and ultimately where you end up) than the physical steps that you take to make that impact.

Motivation and mindset are so important when weight loss is your key goal to living a healthier and fitter life.

It’s about pushing yourself to get out of bed in the morning and get up for your morning walk in the sun, snow or ran, and it’s about resisting the temptation to go all out with the food and drink when you’re out with your friends and family.

We all get the urges to do things when we are out and it’s important that you spot the points when you’re going to be the weakest and how you can counteract against taking that negative route.

But, having the right thinking is also about having the ability in your arsenal to bounce back and regain control after you’ve had one of those negative instances in your life.

I recorded a short video about how you we at MPT take the physiological aspects of coaching and include it in the whole health and fitness package of our bespoke personal training programmes.

It isn’t just about coming to the MPT fitness studio and working out with your PT, it’s about more than that. See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEIrBPj_KYs.

If now’s the time to take things seriously then getting the help of a Clitheroe personal trainer (here: https://mastersfitness.co.uk/ribble-valley-personal-training/) then head over to our personal training page at MastersPT.

We’re here to help you with your health, fitness and wellbeing, and to ensure that you reach the body shape you always want in life.

Why is Hydration Important to Your Health?

I’ve recorded a video where I talk about hydration and why it’s important to our overall health. How it’s one of the best things to drink (obv. The body is highly concentrated with water) and why you should be concentrating on staying hydrated. One thing I always pass on to our clients at Masters Personal Training is the fact that they should be adding Himalayan salt to their water. This helps with your own hydration and absorption of water and the mineral content. These salts are what I’ve mentioned before in the content I’ve written around having more energy in your life and it’s fundamentally important to generating that energy so that you have the thoughts, feelings and motivation to take control of your life and lose the weight that you really want to. If you’re wondering when you should be drinking water in regards to your fitness then you need to be drinking it before, during and after your workout (and yes, with the salts). That means adding some salts (electroly...

Why Women Train Differently To Men

One question we get asked is: “How differently do women need to train than men” and the answer to that question is, well, a little differently. We’re made very similar but also very differently. If you go into a health centre or fitness club then you’ll commonly see more women in the cardio areas and more men in the weights areas. It has changed over the last couple of years, with a shift of more women taking up weight and not going along the historical view of lifting weights will make you bulky (it doesn’t). In fact, Hayley wrote on the MPT blog about why women should be lifting weights in the gym and how doing so will help them get the body they desire in life . The clear fact and evidence behind things is that, yes, women do need to train differently to men, but not completely differently. Women can out train a guy if we’re talking about progression and staying power. That’s been evidence many times. What men can do is generally bulk up quicker (because they want to)...
