Summer is just around the corner, and there’s no better time than now to start preparing your body for those sunny beach days, pool parties, and holiday adventures! 12 weeks is the perfect length of time to slim down without effecting other functions of your body or rebounding the unwanted fat back on, a common effect when you try to lose fat too fast or for too long.
Each week, I’ll focus on one key strategy to help you slim down and tone up effectively using the incredible power of Pilates… I’ll be sharing this through our instagram page and in our members only Facebook group so make sure you’re following our Studios account!
Week 1: Set Clear, Achievable Goals, plus, remove the low hanging fruit.
This is a key step in any endeavour and one science proves makes the difference between success or failure. Only takes an hour and will remove the need for so much motivation and will power too.
Week 2: Master Your Meal Prep Game
A successful body transformation begins in the kitchen. Knowing how to set up the main portion of your nutrition through meal prep removes so much pressure, uncertainty and pit falls.
Week 3: Eliminate all beyond H2O – Your Secret Weapon
Water is your metabolism’s best friend! Aim for at least 3-4 litres a day. Proper hydration helps control hunger, supports muscle function, and gives your skin that summer glow. There are major effects too many other liquids we need to consider including, alcohol, juices, sodas, diet drinks and coffee.
Week 4: Prioritise Quality Sleep
Sleep is when your body repairs and recovers from your Pilates sessions. Poor sleep disrupts hormones that control hunger and metabolism.
Week 5: Walk More
Non exercise movement is a key tool for reducing your body fat. It’s just as important as working out and resting.
Week 6: Reduce stress with Breathing
It’s simple, quick, science backed and plays a significant role in your ability to remove unwanted fat from your body.
Week 7: Mindset Shifts
Most people fail to see the changes they want because of mindset, join me as I share the most influential changes I used to see massive impact in my own life and health.
Week 8: Intermittent Fasting
There are so many ways to add in fasting to your routine that are like cheat codes to progress. They are secondary to everything prior but I find it extremely helpful and I’ll share how.
Week 9: Tweak the plan
Constant reevaluation isn’t healthy, change takes consistency and patience. However, after 2 months of data, I’ll teach you how to assess whats working, what’s not and which lever to pull to see the most momentum gain.
Week 10: The cold is your friend
We could have covered this at any point but I wanted to let the weather warm up because I personally hate the cold! Having said that, it is useful for eliminating the fat we all seem to care most about, that deep belly fat.
Week 11: You don’t need strength training, you need progressive overload.
There is so much confusion about Pilates currently with its popularity soaring. Let me tell you about why I still think it’s the best base form of exercise and the right choice for most people while also discussing the importance and benefits of more muscle mass.
Week 12: The Extras
If everything’s going right, what levers can you still pull to ramp it up or get that final bit off?
