You know those incredible “before and after” transformation photos you see everywhere online? You see them and think, “How is that possible? Surely they are starving themselves? Why can’t I get results like that?”
Here’s the secret – nothing they do is secret. That life changing result they achieve can be put down to 3 simple steps.
My client Beth has just finished her 12 week block with me, she lost 12 kg’s over the last 13 weeks, and I’ve even included some of the delicious foods she has been having on a daily basis (yep, that’s chocolate, pancakes and tacos that she had on one entire day just last week).
Beth was at a stage where she had 2 kids and was ready to get back on track. She was wearing clothes in a size that she never had to before, and she missed being able to put on clothes and feel nice in them.
She thought FSF would be another plan or program she’d done before and that she wouldn’t make it to the 12 week mark;
She’d tried diets in the past and would stick to them for a few weeks and then go completely off track and put all the weight back on.
She was struggling to get down on the ground and play (comfortably) with her kids and run around with them.
And she had a really weak lower back and pelvic floor, and was experiencing a bit of discomfort in those areas.
When Beth and I started working together, the first things I got her to do was start checking in with her portion sizes, and not cut out her favourite foods, but add them in, in moderation.
She started on 2 full body weights sessions, 1 low impact HIIT workout, and 1 post partum core workout. As she progressed, we added in another strength session, and even was able to add in a running session (which she was super keen to get back in to).
So what were the 3 main simple steps we implemented to get her these incredible results?
- CONSISTENT WITH EXERCISE – She is working out in less than 4 hours week (all of her sessions were from home as well). And she didn’t make excuses. She just got them done; week in, week out, for 3 months…
- CONSISTENT WITH HER FOOD – She planned most of her meals and foods in advance for the week. That’s not to say things didn’t pop up and she had to adjust, but she scheduled in beforehand when she would be out socialising, or when she wanted to add in her chocolate. She made sure she hit her protein each day she obviously stuck to her calorie deficit goals.
- SHE EDUCATED HERSELF – With the FSF program, she learnt so much about portions, macros, calories and educated herself to set her up long term to achieve results (long after her 12 week block has finished). It’s all well and good to be given a strict meal plan, but at the end of the day, that doesn’t teach you anything. If you want to find balance and be able to add in your favourite foods on a daily/weekly basis, then you need to understand how you can.
So proud of this fit Mumma, Beth. I’m currently looking for 2 other Mums who want to go through a transformation like I was able to put Beth through in her own fitness journey.
