The Body Engineer - Personal Trainer

"Don't train fitness, you'll lose all your gains!" 🫣

How times have changed...

Back when my sole focus was improving my physique through a bodybuilding approach to training and lifestyle 🥱

Strict this, strict that, back and bis, chest and tris, legs, cardio and 1 "cheat meal" a week. It was the only way I knew 🤷‍♂️

Don't get me wrong, the lifestyle had me grounded, which, at 19 was probably a good thing but I knew it wasn't the way I wanted to live my life or the relationship I wanted to have with the gym 💭

So I changed the game...

Push, pull, legs in isolation turned into explosive full body functional lifts 🏋️‍♂️

No more steps on the stairmaster for "cardio", in came varied workouts every session at different intensities 📊

Bodyweight exercises still have their place but now I look to develop them towards more challenging movements 🤸‍♂️

My food? Increased AND I'm no longer "on a diet" or "cut" towards a holiday. I eat to fuel what I'm doing every day, not just for a 8-12 week period 👀

As you can see, training for fitness turned out ok and resulted in gains made in more ways than one 🧠

Can you relate? Ready to change the game like I did? Send me a message with the word READY 📩

 

Don't over complate! 4️⃣ easy steps to building your plate 🍽

Swipe along 👀➡️

Start with solid foundations 🧱

1️⃣ Single ingredient foods - Foods that are natural or minimally processed. The best thing about these foods is, what you see is what you get! 💯✅️

2️⃣ Protein - A macronutrient that most people are likely under-eating unless you're making an effort. Animal or plant based, just make sure you have an sufficient amount 🥩🌱

3️⃣ Veggies - Mix it and eat the rainbow. Variety is key in general but green leafy veg is my go-to, rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber, supporting overall health, boost the immune system, improve digestion, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases 🌈🥦

4️⃣  Carbs - It's 2024, we know better than to avoid them by now especially the natural untouched type. Carb items include fruit, rice, grains and vegetables such as potatoes 🥔🍚
