GET WALKING
Look to increase your daily step count by 2000-3000 steps. Working out at the gym is great and an important part of your fitness journey, but getting your steps in is a great way to ensure you are active throughout the day. Walking is also good for our mental health.
BE IN A CALORIE DEFICIT & TRACK
Use an online calorie counter to work out your daily deficit calories. Itโs not particularly accurate but will give you a good starting place. Nothing extreme, somewhere between 250-500 calories. Once you have the figures, use MyFitnessPal to track your calories.
UP YOUR PROTEIN
Most of us donโt consume enough protein, and itโs a great way to build and repair muscle (alongside strength training), but most importantly itโs extremely satiating. It will help you feel fuller for longer and help combat unnecessary snacks and cravings.
STRENGTH TRAIN
You donโt have to spend hours in the gym to see results. Strength train 3 x a week for 30-45 mins CONSISTENTLY following an effective strength training programme (for 3x a week, I recommend a full body split), and you will see and feel the changes.
SLEEP
Sleep is so underrated when it comes to health and fitness and especially if you have a fat loss goal.
Not getting enough sleep will affect your hormones. Youโll have lower energy levels, youโll crave more sugary, higher fat foods, and you are more likely to overeat and move less. Rest is so important. Aim for at least 7 hours of QUALITY sleep a night.
