Should you be tracking your steps?👇🚶‍♀️

For those of you who have been following me for a while you may know I'm not a huge fan of fitness trackers. Alot of the data is geared towards "calorie burn" and often makes people feel like their workout wasn't adequate unless they hit a certain cal count which just encourages them to do more cardio as that "shows" as burning more. But fitness trackers don't take into account the calories burned after a strength workout or the more calories burning with a higher muscle percentage. So for that reason they aren't my favorite. HOWEVER....

With the lack of movement, steps and daily activity most of us are getting from being at home all the time they are becoming very useful. Trackers can be SUPER helpful in encouraging you to get more movement in. I've been using my Fitbit to track my steps the past few days and my goal is 10000 steps everyday until March 31st. To encourage me to do so I told myself if I hit it I'll buy myself a new bikini haha 👙 I know it seems silly but having a little "prize" helps keep me motivated.

🚶‍♀️ Who wants to join me on this journey for 10k a day until March 31?!

WE ARE GROWING!!

& I couldnt be more excited. I can't believe it's been 6 months since the membership launched and I am so excited to announce the addition of a new coach and updated schedule!

Members, meet our newest Body by Jojo coach - Jamie 💃👉

I met Jamie a few years ago when I trained her to become a certified barre instructor. I was immediately drawn to her bubbly personality, zest for life and ability to make me smile while my legs were on fire 🔥 Since then Jamie has thrived as a coach at various fitness studios across Toronto. Jamie always encourages proper alignment and prioritizes safety and form just as much as I do.

Jamie will be coaching live/ recorded Cardio, Barre & Full Body Form classes on the Body by Jojo platform and her very first class is this Tuesday 7am EST 30 minute Cardio! I'll be there getting my sweat on with her and I hope you'll join me 😅

Head over to my stories to learn more & check out the updated live class schedule 🥰 I hope this gives more of you an opportunity to join classes live or complete recordings from home on your own time.

Help me give Jamie a warm Body by Jojo welcome 🙋👇

Do you workout to "burn off" what you ate? Do you workout to burn calories?

I struggled with this for many years and my mindset was always focused on working out to "burn off" what I ate. I always followed my Fitbit thinking if I didn't burn x amount of calories it wasnt a successful workout.

This mindset is toxic. This mindset is never successful in improving your health, body confidence or even physique.

I constantly worked & practiced changing my mindset and eventually my workouts were no longer to burn calories but instead to feel stronger, energize my body and improve my mental health. This shift is possible when you practice daily and workout with a coach or instructor who doesn't ever equate food to "having to workout". You'll never hear me say "work hard to burn off the weekend treats" because a) it simply doesn't work this way b) it makes you feel that you've done something bad and have to "make up" for it.

When you focus on working out as a sign of love & respect for your body, to get stronger, to feel more confident, you will be so much more successful in your fitness journey 💕

As you may know at Body by Jojo we focus on b***y strength and gains 🍑 Now this isn't just because we like big butts and cannot lie, it's also because stronger glutes mean a stronger, more able body! Stronger glutes can help reduce low back pain, hip, knee & ankle injuries & can improve your performance in your other activities like running, biking, skiing etc.

Tips for strengthening your glutes...

👉 Use a variety of exercises and planes of motion of your hips. This will ensure you are strengthening your hips in a balanced way.

👉 Work to progress. While new exercises each week may seem fun it's so important to focus on progressive overload to strengthen your glutes.

👉 Train with weight/ resistance

👉 Train your glutes specifically at 2X per week. I love 2 lower body specific days and then one full body for a little extra hit on the glutes!

👉 Focus on mind to muscle connection. You might notice is classes I often tell you what muscles are working and where to feel it. Focusing on what muscles are working can help activate them more effectively.

These are just a few examples of exercises we do in Body by Jojo classes - but there are so many more! Come join us live on Mondays & Wednesday at 8am EST or on demand anytime and let's get those glutes strong!! 🍑

"How can I get my partner to workout & eat better?!" 👭👬👫

While this can be a touchy subject it is so valuable for you and your partner to be on a similar page when it comes to fitness and nutrition. So how do you get your partner to prioritize fitness? Here are some tips.

👉 Start by having an open and honest conversation. If fitness is an important part of your life explain why and how you want them to be more involved. Let them know that them getting more involved helps you stick to your goals! It's easier to be in it together 🙏

👉 Invite them to workout with you! Sometimes all it takes is you asking to spend a little time together and get your sweat on

👉 Start small. Encourage your partner to adopt one healthy habit instead of a lifestyle overhaul. Encourage them to drink more water by buying them a new bottle or making delicious flavoured water at home.

👉 Pick healthy recipes to cook together for a date night activity.

👉 Encourage instead of nag. No one likes to be nagged at and it often makes us not want to complete the task even more. Instead try to be positive. Flip "you didn't workout this week and you said you would" to "when are you free to take a class with me? Let's put it in the calendar"

👉 Be super upfront and SEND THEM THIS POST!

P.S if any BBJ members want their partner to try out a class with them, send me a DM and we can set that up! 💕

What does "moderation" even mean?!

When I first started my fitness journey and was trying to lose weight I used to get so confused with "moderation" "80/20" & "balance." Like what did it REALLY mean? I'd see influencers or fitness professionals (who I really wanted to look like - yes that's a whole other issue/ post) posting about their pizza, chocolate, candy etc and I'd wonder how often they eat that? Do they eat less the rest of the day? Are they really eating it or just posting it?
So I'm here to throw a few tips out there that I wish I knew back then.

1️⃣ Balance looks different for everyone and will look different for you at various stages of your life.

2️⃣ Think of 80/ 20 as a guide. 80% of the time you are eating healthy, nutritious meals and 20% of the time you are indulging a bit :) If you have a very specific physique goal or timeline you may choose to lower it to 90/10.

3️⃣ Try not to think of foods as being "off limits". This will only make you want them more! If you are really craving something then have some!! Enjoy a serving and then tell yourself you can have more tomorrow if you want it. Often we get into a bad cycle of "oh well I already screwed up so I might as well eat the whole pint of icecream and start fresh tomorrow". I've never had one client succeed with that mindset.

4️⃣ When you eat your "20%" meals, slow down and enjoy it!!! Instead of thinking of the next bite before you've even finished the one in your mouth focus on the taste and enjoyment of the food you are currently eating.

5️⃣ The trick is to always "bounce forward". After you've had an indulgent meal or delicious treat how quickly do you go back to eating how you "normally" eat. Make the next meal a nutritious one and you'll be on the right track to your goals!

For me, right now, balance is usually 1 take out meal, drinking one night, and probably a dessert somewhere in there. This is what I find works for me in terms of health and physique. Of course there are times when I indulge more or less but I always focus on my "bounce forward" rate and get right back to a nutritious meal asap

I hope this helps! Let me know your q's below 👇

A DAY OF EATING 👉🍓🫐😋

Breakfast - egg white oatmeal (1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk, 1 tbsp PB & strawberries). Make the oatmeal stovetop with oats and milk then once cooked slowly stir in egg whites.

Lunch - homemade turkey veggie chili & slice of sourdough bread. Recipe in my reels section

Snack - 1/2 cup cottage cheese while I wait for dinner to be ready

Dinner - Chicken sausage, big salad & slice of sourdough bread

Snack - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I like SKYR), berries & drizzle of real Canadian Maple syrup 🇨🇦🍁

Remember eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated or require a ton of time! Start by focusing on whole foods and including a palm size of protein, fist size of carbs and thumb size of fat in your meals. And LOAD up on the veggies. Looking back every though I had a big salad and lots of veg in my chili I still probably could have added some cut up veggies as a snack!
