097 Want to Lose Weight Successfully? Then You MUST Do This First
Weight loss does not have to mean ‘diet’. And yet we have been led to believe that we can’t have one without the other.However, there are some absolutely fundamental things that we need to put in place first if we want to see successful weight loss (i.e. not just losing some weight and then putting it straight back on again, but actually sustaining it for the long term). And this is exactly what I’ll be talking about in this week’s episode of The Busy Woman’s Guide to Fitness & Wellness podcast. You’ll be learning:how lack of sleep, movement and too much stress can affect our ability to lose weightthe truth about our ‘need’ to lose weight versus the desire to lose weightthe importance of self talk and belief in successful long-term weight lossUltimately, successful long term weight loss involves a little bit more work that we think it does. It’s not just about reducing calories and then having the willpower to stay there for long enough to see the result.Resources: Join the ChickFit Members Club http://www.chickfit.co.uk/membersclub My website https://www.chickfit.co.uk/Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alixchickfitReview and follow my podcast https://www.podfollow.com/chickfit

096 The Princess, The Martyr or The Queen?
Let’s be honest. Most of us spend good chunks of our lives in either the role of the Martyr or the Princess. In the first role, we’re the put upon woman, who is dealing with everyone else’s s**t, doing all the things that everyone else in our lives needs and never ever doing anything for ourselves.In the second, we’re blaming external circumstances every single time we’re not getting the things we want, telling ourselves it can’t possibly be our fault because we’re too busy, too tired, too unmotivated, too busy being a martyr!And I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit in one or both of these spaces!But I don’t know about you - but I don’t want that for myself. What I really want in my life is the Queen energy. The kick ass, knows who she is and what she wants, shows up for herself and takes responsibility for getting the things she wants Queen!So, I’m working on bringing a lot more of this energy into my life and in this week’s episode of the podcast I’ll be telling you how you can do the same!Resources: Join the ChickFit Members Club http://www.chickfit.co.uk/membersclub My website https://www.chickfit.co.uk/Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alixchickfitReview and subscribe to my podcast https://www.podfollow.com/chickfit

095 The Top 3 Things You Should Be Doing for a Healthy Body
When it comes to a healthy body - one which isn’t in pain and which moves well to support your life and your training, we sometimes just focus on either high intensity exercise or stretching. Or a bit of both. And that’s an amazing place to start.But sometimes we need a bit more than that. So when I talked to Eoin Everard in this week’s podcast episode (yes, my very first male guest!) I got the lowdown on what else we need to be paying attention to.Mobility - and this doesn’t just mean flexibility but dealing with “stuck” areas in your body through massage, plus looking at mobility in other areas of the body. E.g. if you have knee issues, you may need to be looking at mobility at the ankle and/or the hip.Stability - learning to activate muscles properly. Again, if you’re having knee issues, you may need to work on properly activating core and glute muscles.Motor control - ensuring that your technique is spot on.We also got into training zones that we need to be hitting in our training, AND he got honest about how to get what you need out of the men in your life. Clue: it’s the opposite of subtlety!Come and join us to get the lowdown, some of Eoin’s top tips and some ideas on how to adapt your training for better results!Find out more about Eoin:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everardpilatesphysio/ Website: https://everardpilates.com/Resources: My website https://www.chickfit.co.uk/Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alixchickfitReview and subscribe to my podcast https://www.podfollow.com/chickfit
