Whatever your fitness goal may be, having fun with

Whatever your fitness goal may be, having fun with it and enjoying the process is so important and often overlooked. On days where you don’t feel like training, try to remember that the ‘fun factor’ can be found by simply getting yourself moving. Like the classic line goes - Motion is Emotion!⠀ ⠀ What do you enjoy most about your fitness regime?

People are making exercise a part of their daily routine, with almost everybody now using the phrase ‘my daily exercise’. Not necessarily because they really enjoy it (although it’s brilliant if you do), but because we understand the benefits. ⠀ For some of us, these benefits include improved sleep and improved mental and physical health. For others, it’s also about being part of a community on social media, where we can receive support and acknowledgment and feel connected to a network of friends. Exercise can also improve our sense of achievement and personal development!⠀ ⠀ What benefits have you noticed from your daily exercise?

Many of our clients develop wonderful and long rel

Many of our clients develop wonderful and long relationships with their trainers and end up as gym buddies for life. If you’re struggling on how to get started at the gym or just feel stuck with your current training, a PT (online or in studio) could be the answer! ⠀ ⠀ If you’re unsure, get in touch for a free session to help understand more of what we do at Revolution Personal Training Studios!

Remind yourself WHY you want to achieve your goal

Remind yourself WHY you want to achieve your goal - the simple question of why goes a long way. The ‘why’ is the driving force that gets you up and into it. The ‘why’ is what gives your goal power! 💪

Setting a time frame for your goal is so important

Setting a time frame for your goal is so important for keeping your motivation up!

Introducing more protein into your diet will help

Introducing more protein into your diet will help towards achieving your weight loss goal. This is especially important for women, who tend to eat less than the required daily amount of protein. Protein is the building blocks of muscle. The leaner you are with metabolically active tissue (muscle) the more efficient your body is at burning fat! 💪

How we evaluate your progress will be completely d

How we evaluate your progress will be completely dependent upon what your goal is. So weekly weigh-ins for those looking for weight loss, or body fat measurements for those looking to get leaner. This is a chance to get some feedback on whether your plan is working for you. If you’re getting the results you want then you’ll know you’re on the right track, and if not then we know that something with your training or nutritional plan needs to be tweaked.⠀ ⠀ Click the link in our bio to begin your fitness journey with Revolution Personal Training Studios today!

With schools being closed, for a lot of us our hea

With schools being closed, for a lot of us our health and fitness routines and habits have been turned upside down! ⠀ Here we are sharing some tips that will allow you to keep fitness in your days and help you to stay on top of your workout game! ⠀ 1. Prepare your exercise clothing the night before so you can jump out of bed, throw on your trainers and make your workout happen seamlessly before the kids are up. ⠀ 2. Walk! Swap your car keys for trainers and get walking. ⠀ 3. If you are working from home, take advantage and set a reminder to go off every hour and do 15 squats and 10 press ups just to keep the body moving. ⠀ 4. If you are using pubic transport then why not get off a stop earlier and walk a little further. ⠀ 5. When the children are playing in the park, do your own exercise and park bench workouts or if your kids are older perhaps you could go for a family bike ride. ⠀ 6. When your children are doing their online lessons (or having some hard earned telly time!) use the distraction as an opportunity to do some ab exercises. ⠀ 7. Do a workout video in your living room/bedroom by either following along to a dvd or finding one on YouTube that you can squeeze in first thing in the morning or last thing at night. ⠀ 8. Just move your body and play with the kids. Get involved with what they are doing and remember to enjoy it! 🙌

4 Reasons you will LOVE Online Personal Training-

4 Reasons you will LOVE Online Personal Training- written by one of our clients who has newly transitioned to online personal training: ⠀ ⠀ Motivation⠀ I’ve never been great at motivating myself which is why I chose pt sessions in the first place. I found an amazing Personal trainer from Revolution Personal Training Studio’s, and the transition from Personal Training in the studio to online was super easy as Dom (my online personal trainer) is a Zoom expert!⠀ ⠀ I’m Accountable⠀ When you commit to a Personal Training session and cancel you don’t just let yourself down, you let your Online Personal Trainer down so it makes me commit to my two 30 minute online personal training sessions every week. I also have full say over when I schedule my personal training sessions.⠀ ⠀ Online Personal training is personal⠀ After chatting with my personal trainer, he understands my limitations and understands that body posture is very important to me. As we have our online personal training sessions one to one via Zoom, Dom is able to see my position and form and is able to effectively correct me which helps prevent injury.⠀ ⠀ Personal Trainers are Human⠀ Lastly, it’s nice to have another adult to chat with (despite the bad jokes) as I’m in lockdown with two teenagers! It’s nice to escape, to close the door on my working from home/family commitments & spend that time on me. ⠀

Feeling motivated is much easier to achieve than m

Feeling motivated is much easier to achieve than most of us have been led to believe. It is not some magical formula, but rather a simple process to follow:⠀ ⠀ 1. Your goal must really excite you⠀ And I mean really excite you! Which is why it’s best to try to avoid setting goals such as to ‘tone up’ or ‘get fitter’. It can be very hard to get excited about a more generic goal. Your goal could be to have more energy when spending time with your children, family or friends. It could be to fit into a dress or a suit that you love, or to run a 5k event or another endurance event. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what your goal is – it just matters that you are excited about achieving your goal.⠀ ⠀ 2. Know exactly what you want⠀ The more you can be descriptive and use emotional and powerful words, the more motivated you will become. Be totally specific. Don’t say ‘I want to lose a bit of weight’, say exactly how much weight you want to lose and over what time frame. The combination of setting a goal which excites you and knowing exactly what you want to achieve will not only motivate you to train, but it will also help you to make the right nutritional and lifestyle choices – such as saying no to that packet of crisps, chocolate biscuit or glass of wine.⠀ ⠀ 3. Re-visit your goals on the days you don’t want to train⠀ You won’t feel motivated before every single training session. That’s when you need to remind yourself of why you started training in the first place- hence the need for a goal that excites you! At first, feeling motivated is vital because it’s what gets us started. However, over time, motivation becomes less important and we can instead start to rely on the habits and routines which have formed over time. This means we can achieve our goals both in the short and long term!

It’s the small everyday steps which we can maint

It’s the small everyday steps which we can maintain that help us get to the shape, weight or health/fitness level that we desire. So today we are sharing 5 easy everyday food swaps that will save you calories and get you into a calorie deficit for weight loss!⠀ ⠀ 1. Swap your chocolate/biscuit/sweet treat for a portion of fruit⠀ Choose a satisfying fruit that you enjoy eating and have a portion of that instead.⠀ It’s real food, that’s lower in calories per portion and the natural sugars will deliver vitamins and satisfy and sugar cravings.⠀ ⠀ 2. Swap higher calorie lattes and cappuccinos for black/white coffees and tea. This is an easy one that will save you so many calories!⠀ A medium latte (semi skimmed milk) from Starbucks is 190 calories compared to 5 calories for a medium black filter coffee.⠀ ⠀ 3. Swap your crisps for popcorn. Keeping the crunch but dumping the extra calories! ⠀ You can get lots of different flavours now (just like crisps) and they come in portion controlled packs to keep the calories down.⠀ ⠀ 4. Swap pastas/rice/chips for veggie alternatives⠀ First off there is nothing wrong with pasta but when you swap to veggie alternatives such as cauliflower rice, courgette spaghetti and butternut squash fries. ⠀ You can bulk out your meals for fewer calories which is a better option when on a diet trying to lose weight.⠀ ⠀ 5. Swap pre-made sauces for fresh/dried herbs and spices.⠀ You will notice the taste of your food greatly improve when you start adding your own herbs and spices. But you will also be freeing up calories from high calorie shop-bought sauces.⠀ A few good swaps to try out:⠀ ⠀ Pesto -> fresh basil⠀ Stir fry sauces/spicy sauces -> soy sauce, ginger, garlic & chilli⠀ Tomato-based pasta sauces -> fresh tomatoes & oregano.⠀ ⠀ This is a great way to cut calories without compromising taste!

Plant based diets have been gaining popularity in

Plant based diets have been gaining popularity in the health and fitness world, which is great, provided it’s done in a sensible and balanced way!⠀ ⠀ Here are our key nutritional principles for maintaining good health and achieving fat loss whilst following a vegan diet plan:⠀ ⠀ 🍑 Eat more fruits and vegetables as they are rich in antioxidants and micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals)⠀ 🥦 Eat plenty of protein for repair of lean tissue and to keep you feeling full. Protein is found in spinach, hemp, broccoli, avocado, tofu, peas, beans, tempeh, soya, wholegrain bread and almond milk. We also recommend taking a vegan protein supplement such as pea/hemp protein powder.⠀ 🥑 Heathy fats are an important part of a balanced diet – found in chia sees, flax seeds, avocado, coconut, nuts & olive oil.⠀ 💧 Drink lots of water to keep hydrated throughout the day and help manage cravings⠀ For fat loss to work you need to be in a calorie deficit which simply means eat less and move more. You have to burn more calories than you consume to be in a deficit.⠀ Limit processed foods, sugary foods and drinks, fried foods and preservatives⠀ ⠀ We know that any kind of meal plan has to be straightforward and enjoyable, so we’ve developed a whole range of quick, easy and tasty Vegan recipes for you to try- all complete with a full macro nutrient and calorie breakdown! ⠀ Click the link in our bio to check out some of our recipes!

Several studies have shown the benefits of keeping

Several studies have shown the benefits of keeping a food diary to aid a healthy weight loss journey and body transformation. Writing things down means you become more mindful of your eating habits, making it easier to understand and adapt them to reach your goals.Think of your body as a machine. What you get out of it (energy levels, concentration, emotional wellbeing and sleep quality) reflects what you put in (food, drink, exercise – with or without a personal trainer). Recording everything you eat and drink for seven consecutive days – and importantly, how it makes you feel – can really help to highlight patterns and habits that you may not have noticed.Things like:Are you eating enough fruit and vegetables? Are you getting enough protein to fuel your muscles and aid recovery? How much water are you drinking? Is a sizeable chunk of your weekly calorie intake hiding in milky or sugary drinks and alcohol? Are you always tired at certain times? Is your sleep suffering and energy levels low or fluctuating? Are you struggling to concentrate at work?You can’t progress until you first know what it is you’re trying to change, and a food diary is a great tool to give you a birds eye view and take control! 📔
