A) Regular exercise, tracking my food, balance, trying not to over think ...being kind to myself.
Q) Describe the positive changes you have experienced since committing to a healthy lifestyle.
A) More energy, better sleep, no heartburn, improved fitness, more positivity.
Q) What does your week look like in terms of exercise?
A) I try and do something 6 days a week. I started slow with regular walks and then have made changes along the way as my fitness has improved. Longer distances, hills and then personal training. Choosing an exercise I enjoy is important to staying on track, I don’t see exercise as a drag I look forward to the alarm going off. Exercising with a friend has been a lifesaver it’s kept me sane, I never wanted to let her down, someone to share the journey, someone to inspire and motivate me.
Q) Have you had any setbacks?
A) I have had some injury setbacks. Having to adjust/adapt my approach at times. Getting support has been key to staying on track, not giving up and pushing through.
Q) What do you most enjoy about your personal training sessions?
A) I love that I don’t know what the session will bring. I love the variety in the sessions. I love learning new exercises, learning to do things I never thought I would or could do. I love that Bree never yells at me, she never makes me feel hopeless and adapts my program depending on any injuries I may be carrying.
Q) What do you least enjoy?
A) There isn’t anything I don’t like. Some days the sessions go really fast and I’m disappointed when it’s finished 😀.
Q) Advice for anyone considering a lifestyle change?
A) My advice is to start when you are emotionally ready. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I only told the friend who I walk with that I was starting this journey. I didn’t want all the questions, how much did you lose this week, should you be eating that, you didn’t train today? Too much pressure, I made the choice to do this for me and for me only. If you have a bad day it’s only one day, don’t give up, start again tomorrow. Baby steps!
