End of Nov sunshine bringing some Monday happiness

End of Nov sunshine bringing some Monday happiness 💛 THIS 👆🏻 is one of the reasons I changed my career 6 years ago - apart from having a passion for fitness, I wanted to be the master of my schedule and time 🙅🏼‍♀️

Sometimes it’s hard to motivate myself to get things done but the benefits of being able to chill on the beach when I don’t feel like a laptop day far outweighs the negatives!

I have to say, my gym sesh with @kellyclynes this morning also pumped some extra energy into my veins and sitting indoors just wasn’t an option today!

And can we take a moment to appreciate how warm it gets here as soon as the sun is shining?? 😍☀️🇲🇹

How are you kicking off your week? 💋

The whole Active Spirit fam smashed their week of training, and so did I 🤩👏🏻

Many of you replied to my story saying that you find it hard to motivate yourself to train. I sometimes find it hard too, but I try remind myself these things to help push myself:

1. The post workout feeling will make every second of effort worth it!

2. I know that it’s good for my health (mental & physical) to be active and keep myself strong.

3. I only need to sacrifice Max 60mins out of 24hrs - it’s really not such a big deal. A small investment of time that contributes to my wellbeing.

One last thing! I try not to overthink it. Sometimes you just have to dress up and get started before your brain has time to figure out what’s happening 😂 Push through those first 10-15mins even if you hate every second. It WILL get better as you warm up into it 🙌🏻

These don’t always work, but sometimes they do! There are days when I can’t get myself to do it and that’s perfectly ok. Ditching the guilt has been a huge milestone for me 🧡

How do you try to motivate yourself on days when it’s lacking?

THINGS I DO WHEN I TRAIN IN THE GYM:⁠ ⁠ 1 - Us

THINGS I DO WHEN I TRAIN IN THE GYM:⁠
⁠
1 - Use the mirror. Not really checking myself out (or maybe slightly 😜 cos why not!?), but constantly checking my form! Can I improve it in any way? Does this look right?⁠
⁠
2 - Engage my core (i.e. I tense up my abs during the movement). Every single exercise is a core exercise! Core activation should happen automatically but I know that this isn't the case for some people. If you're not sure whether your core is activated, slow down and tune in (can you FEEL it? You're not looking for a mega ab burn like you'd feel when doing ab isolation exercises, but more of a gentle supportive feeling). If you can't feel it, then try gently tensing it up before starting the exercise and maintaining that gentle contraction throughout.⁠
⁠
3 - Check in with my body. Does the exercise feel right? Can I feel the right muscles working? If my answer is 'no', I tweak my technique until it feels right. If I'm doing a glute exercise I mentally connect with my glutes and make sure that I'm working them and not recruiting neighbouring muscles to do the work.⁠
⁠
4 - Breathe. I aim to exhale as I move through the 'exertion' phase of the exercise. I coordinate my movement with my breathing.⁠
⁠
5 - Challenge myself. Each and every interval/exercise needs to be challenging. If it's not, I'm wasting my time. The only time I ignore this is when I'm feeling run down. On these occasions, I move slower and gentler but at least I'm still moving.⁠
⁠
6 - Have a towel on hand! I sweat buckets literally 5 seconds after I start training. It's nothing to be ashamed of... I say it's active sweat glands which have been trained well for body heat regulation! Clever little guys 😅 That said, I'd never want to be without my towel!⁠
⁠
7 - Have fun, ALWAYS! Smile, laugh, enjoy and be grateful that I can move my body. Soak up those workout endorphins that make me feel alive 🦋⁠
⁠
Anything different that you do when you're training? I'd love to hear yours 😍⁠

Happy Friday Fam!! I just left a new 'HIIT Quartet

Happy Friday Fam!! I just left a new 'HIIT Quartet' workout on the #ActiveSpirit site for you to smash over the weekend 💥 (You'll find it at the very top of the cardio section).⁠
⁠
No pressure though! I know that some people prefer to take the weekends off from training, and that's totally fine. You do YOU! But if you are hoping to get in some action, you can do this one at home or take it outside to your favourite sunny spot ☀️ No equipment needed, and all you need to is press play & follow 💪🏻 ⁠
⁠
My gym work is unfortunately on hold this week cos I hurt my back doing God knows what 🤷🏼‍♀️ Injuries suck, don't they? ⁠
⁠
Funnily enough, running feels absolutely fine, and I went for a short one yesterday & I'll be going again tomorrow 🏃🏼‍♀️ I'm actually hardly running at all these days but I'm enjoy those one off jogs 💛⁠
⁠
That's my week of work wrapped up and now it's time to get out of my @nike gear and get dressed up for lunch in the sun 💁🏼‍♀️⁠

Yesterday my mum and I went to Mdina to film some workouts and take some photos 💛

I put my new Nike gear, we found the most beautiful location and got cracking!

We filmed a cardio workout which I’ll be uploading onto my IGTV soon. It’s a full workout of about 20mins with a countdown timer to guide you through each interval (in the same style as my online workouts).

My mum was the cutest, operating the camera, starting and stopping it, holding my diary shouting out the next exercise at me 💛

Even had a random lady asking for the name of my blog/Facebook page - she was visibly inspired to get moving and that’s one the main reasons I love what I do 💛💛

Well enough about me! Tell me a little bit about what you got up to this week 👇🏻☺️💋
