BS in the Fitness Industry #fitnessblog #fitnesstips #glutebuilding #plantbasednutrition #veganfitness #weightlosstips Aug 22, 2020

 

The programming in the fitness industry is REAL. One thing my spiritual awakening has brought is so much more clarity on how and why the BS continues to thrive in the fitness industry. My understanding of Human Design has also further deepened it.
 
Now, I was NEVER one to buy into the crap in the industry. I always worked hard, counted calories and knew that stress & sleep were playing a role in my results…. Not when I ate my food or what food groups I ate.

Riders. I am going to pick on you a bit here. And coaches listen up as well.
 
I picked my own pics so I can pick on myself but I want to show you the difference a strong ASS makes.
 
And doing stalls is NOT a form of training, #sorrynotsorry.
 
In the first pic I was on my feet all day managing a large equestrian centre and equine assisted therapy program.
 
If you look at the pic you can pick apart a bunch of postural issues, right?

Are Carbs BAD!? #fitnessblog #nutritiontips #plantbasedrecipes #plantbasedweightloss #veganathletetraining #veganblog #weightlossblog Aug 16, 2020
Are carbs bad?
 
I am going to do a podcast on this to really allow myself to go deep into this. I am at the cottage with $hit Internet so recording and uploading a podcast is out of the question. It takes 4 hours for a post to load 🤣
 
But inevitably when I talk about carbs there are people who have bought into the fear mongering of carbs.
 
First, I just want to say: The media used to believe fats were bad. Protein has been targeted. Now it is carbs.
 
Keep in mind the

What is a Refeed Day? Aug 11, 2020

I don't think I have ever had an intake questionnaire, for new PT clients, come in with someone eating ENOUGH in a day.

In fact, when I don't track food I undereat.

And the reality is your body literally DOES NOT know the difference between you unintentionally under eating and intentionally under eating.

It doesn't know the difference between famine and trying to lose those extra pounds.

The consequences are the same.

And many people are stuck in a plateau, or gaining weight, and desperat...

Struggling for Energy in Training (and maybe life)? Aug 11, 2020

 

Are you not hitting the PR’s in your weights & runs that you KNOW are available to you?

9 times out of 10 I see athletes under eating. In yesterday’s post I spoke about the dangers of dieting (I categorize a caloric deficit as dieting… And you may be doing this unintentionally!) so we won’t go into that here but I will add this:

Keep in mind that your training is catabolic. This means that training hard (And physique goals are included in this!), hard racing, heavy training, etc are WASTI...

Is Fasted Cardio Better? Aug 11, 2020

 

Is fasted cardio better?👇🏻

I am often asked if it is alright to train on an empty stomach. I think this is a common issue for anyone who needs to get to the gym early in the morning...

Or spends 5 seconds scrolling social media and becomes bombarded with this and that diet, way of eating and training.

First, I would say never lift weights on an empty stomach and if you are running for performance goals I really do not recommend training on an empty stomach.

Second, if you are running to...
