How crazy was the storm in Mount Evelyn yesterday?! 🌩️

The downpour was intense and the lightning was on another level ⚡

One lightning strike was so close it nearly scared the 💩 out of us!

🛑 Knee Pain 🛑

Unless there's direct trauma, injury, or a chronic condition within the knee, it often stems from the hip or foot/ankle.

Knee pain isn't always the root cause, it's often the symptom. It's trying to let you know that something else is going on and it needs to be corrected.

Knee pain doesn't have to be complicated, let me help!

Feel free to comment below if you have any questions or send me DM if you'd like to make an appointment and finally fix that ongoing knee issue of yours.

Functional Strength Training 🏋️

In this video I demonstrate real world activities followed by exercises that are aimed at improving that activity. ✅

• Do you struggle walking up or down stairs? 🦵
• Can you comfortably get out of a chair or off the toilet? 🚽
• Are your arms strong enough to allow you to grab onto something and hold yourself up before you actually fall over? 💪

The situations I go over are common every day occurrences and the exercises are simple yet effective - the best kind! 💙

I'll use these particular exercises with my elderly and NDIS clients to improve their daily lives and hopefully make things a little easier for them. 🧡

It's never too late to get stronger!

How many days a week should we weigh ourselves on the scales? ⚖️

For my clients I recommend only once per week at the same time e.g. First thing on Monday morning ☀️

You can calculate your weight every single day but not only is this time consuming, it can also be counterintuitive - seeing daily fluctuations in weight and sometimes seeing the number rise even though you're in a caloric deficit can be quite depressing to be honest with you 🙃

That's why I recommend it once per week but if you choose to daily, you need to calculate a weekly average and if there's an upwards or downwards trend 📉 📈

Remember, the scales aren't everything!

Some important questions to ask yourself:
1. How do I feel?
2. Do my clothes feel bigger and looser?
3. Am I fitter and stronger but still weigh the same?
4. Do I look better in the mirror?
5. Is my waist smaller in circumference but my weight hasn't changed on the scales?

How many days a week should we be resistance training?

The research recommends a minimum of two days per week consisting of compound exercises to target most muscle groups.

If you want to train 2-3 days per week I'd recommend a full body workout to get the most band for your buck!

Remember, something is better than nothing and start small and build yourself up!

By the way - it's never too late to get stronger 💪

Weight loss tips and tricks! 🥑

I want you to rate your diet out of 10 (1 = worst diet in the world and 10 = best diet in the world) and be honest about it.

Say you gave yourself a 6/10...why? 🤔

I then want you to write down 4 reasons why you're not rating yourself a 10/10.

1. I often skip breakfast 🍳
2. I don't drink enough water
3. My weakness is chocolate and I always have some after dinner 🍫
4. I don't eat enough fruits or vegetables 🍓

Once you've worked out what your areas for improvement are, we can then start to make some small but immediate changes.

I now want you to write down what you usually eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, any snacks, and also be honest about how much water you drink every daily.

Do you notice any patterns or room for improvement? Can you substitute anything vs eliminating them?!

I'm all for substituting things rather than cutting them out!

• Drink sugar free soft drink over normal soft drink
• Choose fruit over chocolate if you're craving something sweet
• Choose popcorn over chips if you're craving something salty
• Homemade pizza vs takeaway pizza etc.

Weight loss doesn't have to be complicated and it isn't a quick fix, it's a lifestyle change and making it as easy to adhere to as possible is the key to success with dieting! 🏆
