Mad Fitness Coach: Recent Episodes

Health, fitness, nutrition, weight loss, fat loss, muscle gain, performance. Education and information to help you be the best version of you.
Most of you know the saying: "Where your treasure is, is where you are looking" - Basically, if you want to do something, you'll do it.... If you don't want to do it.... You won't.
If your doctor says you need to loose weight to stay healthy but you choose not to, then that is a need and not a want. You need to want to do something for it to become a need.
What should my weight loss be? Am I doing it right? Don't look at just your weight, but focus on the percentage lost.
I've worked with probably over a 1000 clients, generally most people have the same kind of failures when it comes to diet.
A quick update on the 3 free coaching spots... What an emotional thing this has become.
We'll all avoid something at some point in our lives.... In terms of fitness and training, I'll often get a client that a beer or ate something they shouldn't have and then they'll avoid me for a day or 2 especially when it's time ti weigh in. Your not a bad person or did anything terrible, but you do need accountability.
Everyone thinks that I'm Jaime and I'm always motivated and it all just comes easy.... Well it doesn't! :-)
Nobody is motivated every single day to do anything. You have to be pretty passionate, even as a careers, to keep going every day under any circumstance.
When you are setting yourself a goal, and most people who watch this it would be relating towards some form of a fitness goal, we look at some form a a smart goal. If you want to loose 5kg, how am I going to achieve this?
We are struggling during these (Lockdown) times we are going through. We still wake up, brush our teeth and get the day going because we have to. We might need to work late and we know we don't have to but we still do because we want to (or can).
From my experience a lot of clients don't reach their end goals as they set too many goals or goals are too big and we don't break our goals down to manageable or achievable goals.
So I'm known to always have a solution for everything and I want to try cover a few topics, specifically around training and how we always make excuses and how to rather create a solution.
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where you cycle between periods of eating and fasting. It does not say anything about which foods to eat, but rather when you should eat them. There are several different intermittent fasting methods, all of which split the day or week into eating periods and fasting periods.
How does your cycle effect you? I've tracked my cycle as a reference and just wanted to touch on a few things and how it effects your training.
A little rant about a few different things. I want to touch on a couple of things I get from people, friends, clients, etc which I feel is worth sharing.
We all have stresses - it's normal. If something is stressing you out but not me, that doesn't mean that it's not relevant. Our stresses effect all of us differently, and never play down some else's stress because you don't know how it's effecting them in whichever way or form.
Like the old saying goes, "If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail."
We all have strength and weaknesses which means you need to have more self awareness. For instance, if you make bad food choices, then you have to address your diet and not set yourself up to fail. ย If you go home and there's no food set up, you haven't eaten during the day, no healthy snacks etc, when you get home and open the fridge and there's only bad food options, then you'll carry on eaten those foods because, 1 - your starving and 2 - those are the only options available.
Start with smaller goals and work your way up, otherwise you could be setting yourself up for failure.
Non exercise activity still burns calories. Yes, you still burn calories even though you aren't exercising - if you have an active job, you burn calories, walking around during the day, you burn calories... Even a walk to the bathroom during the day is burning calories. This is the basic base of non exercise calorie burning.
I always get asked which diet is the correct diet - there are so many out. At the end of the day, the diet that works for you is the correct diet.
Hi guys,
So today's topic is for everyone who has ever done any kind of diet, or anyone that wants to diet in the future.
TRUTH BOMBS + REALITY

Hi guys!!
Today's topic is something I see daily with clients and myself.
We need to strive for a greater sense of self awareness to learn the lessons from these 'mistakes' we make. Then we can grow and move forward! (And try to avoid making them again ๐คฃ)

Hi guys! ๐๐
Feeling down/depressed?
Tired?
Stressed?
Take a listen- you are not alone and YOU ARE NORMAL.
Fitness love
madfitness
Comment, reach out, send me your questions!
Got goals?
Are you training your ass off Monday to Friday and taking the weekend off?
Not getting where you want to?
Have a listen.
madfitness
You won't always be motivated,
Your goal must motivate you enough to be disciplined.
Do it because you promised yourself you would,
whether you feel like it not.
What you feel like now vs. the end result, the bigger picture.

Confidence is attractive!
Know who you are and own it.
Stop planting seeds of negativity and doubt in your own mind!

Hi guys!
You have to be ready to be healthier, this is a lifestyle decision, for your life to be better.
Are you going to try cut corners are you going to try and cheat before you have even started?
Commitment is commitment, whether its your fitness journey, your job, your relationships, if you are someone who works hard - genuinely- it should translate into all aspects of your life.
Stop wishing for it and start working for it!
madfitness
Why??
It's YOUR LIFE, it's your body, your mind, ๏ผน๏ผฏ๏ผต๏ผฒ ๏ผจ๏ผก๏ผฐ๏ผฐ๏ผฉ๏ผฎ๏ผฅ๏ผณ๏ผณ!!
Don't let someone else's lack of understanding affect your life, don't let their judgements or small mindedness steal your fire! ๐ฅ๐ฅ

Do you keep falling off the wagon with your diet and reaching your goals?
Introducing....
๏ผด๏ผจ๏ผฅ ๏ผง๏ผฒ๏ผฅ๏ผน ๏ผก๏ผฒ๏ผฅ๏ผก
The space between perfection and failure.
Don't set yourself up to fail, commit to something you know you can achieve- BUILD INTEGRITY WITH YOURSELF!!
Set yourself up to win, then win! It feels great to achieve something and see results.
Not many people can go cold turkey.
madfitness
What are your training session like? Are you just ticking boxes or are you training to improve? Lockdown is mentally getting us all down and a lot of us aren't training "properly" - ticking boxes won't cut it if you are wanting to get stronger, better, fitter.
Do you want 6 pack abs?
Why though?
Do you know what it takes to get a 6 pack?
What about how to maintain one?
Are you ready to give up some of your social life, back off on your career, see your family less?
To achieve a goal it needs to be realistic- realistic to you! Your life, your rules- you decide on the balance!
madfitness
Everyone wants results!
In this current age of instant gratification we want results NOW (or yesterday if possible)
Problem is people don't want to work for it. If you only do the work when you feel like it it's going to take longer to get to your goal!!
Seems simple right?
๐งจI challenge you to look at your plan, are you sticking to it 20%? 50%? 90%?
Just like life- you will get out EXACTLY what you put in.
madfitness
I'm joking.... (kinda)
The scale should not define you, it shouldn't make you happy or sad.
Unfortunately for most of us ladies it does.
Try tracking your progress in a different way.
Logbooks and weekly comparison pictures are GREAT for this.
Take your power back- feel good about you. STICK TO THE PLAN!!
madfitness
What's stopping you from doing what you want to do?
What's stopping you from being the best you?
Life is short, take control, be happy, have no regrets.

Some of the facts and thoughts around carbohydrates and the affect they have on the body.
๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐ช๐ ๐ฆ ๐ง๐๐๐ฆ๐?
What's important to you right now?
You need to understand your values to be able to link them to your goals and stop beating yourself up! Do you have a problem sticking to stuff and then feeling guilty? Maybe you arent sure what your values are. Unless you're someone who is just choosing to be lazy- only you really know!
