MOTIVATION⁣ ⁣ If you are relying on feeling motivated to get after achieving your health and fitness goals. Chances are you are going to fail.⁣ ⁣ Motivation will come and go. ⁣... ⁣ You will see something on TV or YouTube that will light a fire inside of you and motivate you to change your lifestyle.⁣ ⁣ But then life happens.⁣ ⁣ Lack of sleep. A tough day at work. Busy personal life. Lack of progress. Slipping up on your nutrition plan. ⁣ ⁣ All of a sudden your motivation has gone out the window and all you want to do is sit on the sofa and binge watch a series on Netflix with some chocolate.⁣ ⁣ You've lost sight of your goals and why you started this. That's all been put on hold for another day.⁣ ⁣ Most people in this situation would get down with themselves and give up.⁣ ⁣ But we're all human. We're all going to have those days where the negative thoughts win and we take the easy option.⁣ ⁣ But it's what you choose to do on these days which will define whether you will achieve the results you want, or not.⁣ ⁣ Everyone can have a great workout when they're feeling motivated and have loads of time and energy. But can you get yourself to the gym and just do something when you're not feeling it? ⁣ ⁣ If you can't make it to the gym, can you be active throughout the day and get your steps in?⁣ ⁣ If you have a meal out or want to treat yourself with a pizza. Do you write off the entire week and start again next Monday, or can you get back on track with your calories the following day?⁣ ⁣ Don't let the odd bad day get in the way of you achieving your goals. Just accept that they're going to happen and work around them. ⁣ ⁣ Be consistent with your diet. ⁣ ⁣ Move more. ⁣ ⁣ Get to the gym as often as you can.⁣ ⁣ It's that simple!

The kettlebell swing⁣ ⁣ An exercise lots of people have done, but never really been taught what to do...⁣ ⁣ So let’s start breaking this down, to the naked eye both videos kind of look the same...⁣... ⁣ However, the first video I would describe as a squat and lift, much of these exercises are performed in classes where people swing about less than their weekly shop weighs 👀...⁣ ⁣ People that perform the squat and lift, tend to experience discomfort in the back...if that’s you, that’s not normal!⁣ ⁣ So what should you do.⁣ ⁣ 1. You should send your hips back first and let the knees bend naturally. This is called a hip hinge.⁣ ⁣ 2. It should be a Quick and Violent movement of the hips 👀⁣ ⁣ 3. You should aim to get some connection between the forearms and the inside of your thighs.⁣ ⁣ 4. Aim to send the kettlebell as high as you can send it with the hips, the arms come along for the ride!⁣ ⁣ 5. You should be breathing heavier towards the end of your set! If not add load. As a rule of thumb, double what you usually lift.⁣ ⁣ The humble kettlebell swing, adored by people that can do it, bastardised by tonnes of plebs swinging a 2kg kettlebell around 🤪

So you've finally bit the bullet and joined your local gym after a surge of motivation to lose weight, get fitter and live healthier.⁣ ⁣ You know nothing about the place other than the membership is pretty cheap.⁣ ⁣ You turn up, they take your money, give you a complimentary towel and water bottle and you're set on your way.⁣... ⁣ Fast forward two weeks and you're no longer going to the gym.⁣ ⁣ "There's too many people looking at me judging me for being unfit and not knowing what I'm doing."⁣ ⁣ "All the machines are scary and I don't know how to use them."⁣ ⁣ "It's full of fit, young people. It's not for me."⁣ ⁣ The fact is, we hear people say this on a daily basis. ⁣ ⁣ This is why we created Smarter Strength.⁣ ⁣ To give these people a place to become healthier and achieve their goals without the intimidation of a busy commercial gym.⁣ ⁣ Our sessions are small groups capped at 6. So you'll train in a positive environment with like minded people in the same boat as yourself.⁣ ⁣ All our sessions are coached, at our private facility, by our experienced coaches. We're here to guide you through fun workouts and teach you correct techniques. ⁣ ⁣ So you'll never be just a number and you'll never train alone.⁣ ⁣ If this story sounds too familiar to you, drop us a message to arrange to come in for a chat and see what we do.

SUPPLEMENTS..⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Do you need them? Will they make you reach your goals faster? Are they important?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The simple answer.. No.⁣⁣... ⁣⁣ As long as you are hitting your macronutrients (Protein, Fats, Carbs) then you shouldn't go wrong in terms of making progress in the gym. Micronutrients should be monitored as well. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Can supplements help? Some supplements can be useful in reaching your goals, but they are not the key to reaching them.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You need to be consistent with your diet and your training before you should think about supplements.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If you're needing extra protein in your diet and are struggling with eating then by all means you can use a simple protein shake, but do you really need those raspberry ketones to make you slimmer or lose weight faster? No.. spend your money on something useful like real food.⁣ ⁣ If you need any help or guidance with your nutrition or training then please DM us to find out how we can help you.

ACCOUNTABILITY..⁣ ⁣ What does accountability mean?⁣ ⁣ Accountability is when you are responsible for the decisions or actions YOU decide to make/take.⁣... ⁣ The small group training will require everyone taking part to be accountable for each other, this will help keep all of you motivated to come to the gym, which in turn will create a great team atmosphere in the gym and make new friends.⁣ ⁣ When you join us, we, the coaches will be made accountable for the results you get.⁣ ⁣ But to get these results, you need to be responsible for the decisions you make outside the gym.⁣ ⁣ We can help guide you with training, nutrition and motivation but it is up to you take actions to achieve these goals.⁣ ⁣ If you feel like you need help with your training, nutrition or motivation then feel free to drop us a DM to see how we can help you!

Ever feel super motivated when you sit on the couch, watching your favourite Netflix show knee deep in popcorn? The answer no?⁣ ⁣ Yep me neither… After working with numerous clients at smarter strength, the biggest motivating factor is having someone on hand to ask a question, maybe reconfirm they are on the right path, but have a path laid out for them by a professional.
No procrastinating, no negative thoughts, just a clear path towards your goals and our old friend time.
... We also know we can’t give people motivation, but we can certainly make the process of reaching your goals significantly easier.⁣ ⁣ We also know what increases motivation….
Action.
Doesn’t have to be giant leaps, just small sustainable action towards your goal. Often the just chipping away at our goal day in day out, week in week out and month in month out.

Do something different this year....⁣
- we treat everyone we train as an individual, we know their name, who they are and what they do.⁣
- we know the ins and outs of what they have tried previously, what's worked and what hasn't.⁣
... - this allows us to put a plan of action together for all of the smarter strength community.⁣
- we have a sense of community, rather than sticking your headphones in and ignoring everyone. We work together in achieving our goals. Along the way we may have a laugh or two 😂⁣
- we are as serious as we need to be, no screaming or shouting. Just quality education and coaxing every step of the way in a non judgemental environment.⁣
-our one to one coaching happens in our own facility and is completely private during the session.⁣
- our small group coaching is limited to 6-8 people, allowing for everyone to get some great coaching during the session and is not lost in a crowd of 30 people wondering if they are doing the exercise correctly.⁣
- we tailor nutrition to you as an individual, no generic plans or drastic weight loss diets, no juices/ pills potions. Just quality information.⁣
- we have a members only Facebook group, this allows us to give you and solely you information you need at the touch of a button, we also have our accountability forms which you can fill in for us to hone in on what your really need! Also ask questions in a community surrounded by likeminded people.⁣
- you also get access to me 24/7 to ask questions or even if you just want a chat, I'm here!⁣
- we also have an extensive experience of 13 years of working with athletes, mums, youth athletes and everyone in between!⁣
We truly believe every person that walks though our door will benefit from our approaches!⁣
So if you are looking for something different in 2020......I think you have just found it!

Staying consistent and strategies to use when rewarding yourself with food.

Tips for staying consistent with your diet and strategies around rewarding yourself with food...👍

New to 2020….All our current clients are aware of what we are doing, but we are letting the lurkers, the people that haven’t quite taken that jump to contact us….⁣ ⁣ Maybe you have been considering training with us for a while, but never had the push to just act on it?⁣ ⁣ “it will probably be too expensive”... ⁣ We’re actually making it more cost effective to train with us. Personal training can be expensive IF and I used the word IF you don’t see the results you want. To touch base with a personal trainer 3 times per week would cost you in the region of £360/ month. Our membership will be a fraction of that.⁣ ⁣ “it will probably be full of men” ⁣ Nope! The majority of our members are female. Women that like to be strong, change their physique and feel confident knowing what they are doing is working. We should also mention, we still work with men that want exactly the same as above!⁣ ⁣ “it’s just for people that know what they are doing”⁣ ⁣ Could not be further from the truth! If anything its the exactly opposite. Our experience with us is about long lasting change, whether that be weight related or just to feel confident you know what you are doing in a gym.⁣ ⁣ The majority of people we work with have never stepped foot in a gym or just want some guidance and guess what? They end up staying…. ⁣ We will be posting more than ever over the coming weeks on the lead up to Christmas with out new programs being launched in January, so please if you have ever wanted to reach out, I would suggest doing it now! ⁣ Speak soon!⁣
