Swapping Motivation for Momentum

By admin | Boot Camps, Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Nutrition, Personal Training, Training | No Comments

Often we look for motivation to achieve our goals. How many times have we heard someone say ‘I just need to find motivation!’ or ‘I’m just not motivated!’ or ‘Once I get motivated, I will be right’.

How about we try a different approach…

Next time you are having trouble finding motivation to get started on something, whether it is achieving your fitness, business or personal goals; instead of focusing on finding ‘Motivation’ swap this for building ‘Momentum’.

You see, action generates action, and if you can just get started on something little, then you will build the magic of momentum, which is far more powerful than the fleeting and often elusive motivation.

Picture an old-school cartoon of a snowball rolling down a hill. It starts off small, but as it picks up speed and gains size and momentum as it gets going, it can turn into a giant avalanche.

This is like the power we can generate when we take small daily actions towards our goals. For example you might have a goal to lose 10 kilos. You might have had this same goal for 12 months! But instead of focusing on the big goal, if you focus on the small steps like just getting up 10 minutes earlier to do your morning activation as we call it, you will generate momentum. By starting out your day on the right foot, you then make better choices throughout the day. You drink more water. You eat something healthy at lunchtime. And over time, your momentum builds. The next day you decide to increase your 10 minutes to 15-20 minutes as you found it enjoyable and had a better day.

You can see how this snowball effect can build power over time, and all it started with was the small decision to do something ‘little’.

So don’t dismiss the tiny actions, as often it’s these baby steps that get you closer to your goal than you think!

Want to make a small step now towards your goals?

What’s one thing you can do today that will help you build momentum?

…..

Take action and remember all great things take time. If it’s worth achieving it’s worth the effort it takes to get you there!

….

Do you need to get fit to do Boot Camp, or flexible before you can do Yoga?

By admin | Boot Camps, Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Personal Training, Training, Yoga | No Comments

It might sound funny, but so many times we have heard people say “Oh, I need to get fit before I can do Boot Camp!”

or “I am not flexible enough to do Yoga!”

but the truth is that wherever you are starting from now is absolutely perfect, and you will get fit by doing Boot Camp or get flexible by doing Yoga.

It is human nature to not want to embarrass ourselves, or feel uncomfortable, but the irony is that we get people of all levels of ability saying these things before joining our Boot Camps and Yoga…

So it doesn’t matter where you are at now!

When people ask this we always remind them – there is always likely going to be someone fitter and faster than you and there is also someone who is at more of a beginner level then you – it is not about comparing yourself to other people but only to improving yourself.

That is specifically why we design our sessions the way that we do, so that there are different levels for beginner through to advanced, with harder options for the more advanced and more suitable options for the beginners… That way you can always challenge yourself to the next level… and everybody is so busy concentrating on themselves and what they are individually doing that there literally isn’t time to worry about anything else!

It is also why we have the mantra “Challenge by Choice” and “Honour Your Body” as on different days you will have different energy levels. It is not about smashing yourself every week but training at an intensity that is suitable for you on each session. It is about getting to know your self and your body, and celebrating the small improvements each week that add up to your big transformation.

As our Yoga guruji once said “It is like watching your hair grow – you can’t see it happening but one day you wake up and realise it’s time for a hair cut!”

When you are consistent and just show up each week; everything else is taken care of and you will get there!

So if you are guilty of focusing on perfection not progress, or have been procrastinating getting started until you are ‘ready’ – call yourself out on this ASAP as you are missing out on getting started now and seeing results a lot faster than if you wait until you are ready!

By admin | Boot Camps, Boxing, Client Transformations, Fresh Fitness Wall of Fame, Inspiration, Motivation, Personal Training, Training | No Comments

A big congratulations to our team members Rachelle and Matt Larkin who have achieved amazing results with us this year at our Boot Camps and PT.

Earlier in the year Rachelle phoned us up as they wanted to do something to get their health and fitness back on track. Looking back now it has been amazing to see them both get fitter and stronger every week, they have both toned up so much; increased their muscle and strength, and burnt fat, Rachelle has run her first half marathon 21km’s and lost 5kg and Matt has lost over 15+ kilos!

Rachelle and Matt have such a positive attitude and always give 110% effort in to their training and are such an inspiring part of our team.

We love seeing couples get fit together as it is such a great synergy and has such a huge impact on their lives.

Inspirational Transformations – Craig

By admin | Boot Camps, Boxing, Client Transformations, Fresh Fitness Wall of Fame, Functional Strength, Inspiration, Kickboxing, Motivation, Nutrition, Personal Training | No Comments

We are so proud of our client Craig who is an absolute legend.

So many people make excuses not to keep their health and fitness in check which is why we are so inspired by Craig, who runs a full time company and is a husband and father of 4 young children.

Craig’s health, fitness and strength and body shape has dramatically changed over his time training with us. And he always puts in 100% effort at his PT and Boot Camp sessions, powering ahead and consistently advancing his skills.

Craig has been training with us for over 2 years now and it is always a pleasure to see him advance and progress each week; he is an inspiration!

Check out his story and pics below:

“I have been training with Shea for over two years now and before I started with Shea I thought I would be the last person to have done Personal Training sessions for over 2 years. Before I started training with Shea I used to see personal trainers at the gym and think I would not pay that guy to train me, he doesn’t appear to know much or even look like he has had much success training himself.

I was sceptical on all personal trainers but I thought I would give it a go with Shea after I met him through work and he seemed very enthusiastic. Training with Shea opened up a new world away from the traditional gym work out I was practicing for years.

Offering a wealth of knowledge and experience across all areas of training techniques, nutritional advice and mental training. Shea is a role model trainer who lives and breathes health and fitness and has a positive attitude toward life, training and helping people progress at all levels.

Shea inspired me to quit smoking after 20 years and has helped me to improve my lifestyle, strength and fitness levels significantly.

Thanks to Shea I have also learnt a number martial arts techniques and skills and practice these regularly with him. His knowledge across all areas of martial arts is very extensive and impressive.

I have a very busy lifestyle with 4 young children and as a director of business there is never enough hours in the day. A lot of people say they don’t have time to train as they are too busy, I believe the opposite.

Training helps me mentally offering great stress relief and the uplifting feeling of progress and achievement as you reach new levels of physical ability.

Shea’s sessions are very intense, effective and efficient meaning I don’t need to waste hours in the gym for results and this is invaluable to me.

Shea is a master of his craft, a true professional with a passion for his job, always looking for ways to improve his own game. I personally recommend training with Shea to anyone who is interested in training with a friendly but serious trainer offering a complete health and fitness service.” – Craig Best

Well done Craig for your amazing consistency, commitment, positive attitude and for always giving 100% and your awesome results!!

🙂

Inspirational Transformations – Kerri

By admin | Boot Camps, Client Transformations, Fresh Fitness Wall of Fame, Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Personal Training, Training, Uncategorized | No Comments

We are so honoured to be a part of such an amazing and inspirational transformation journey with Kerri!! 🙂

From Day 1 Kerri has been proactive, positive, disciplined, determined and in less than 4 months has achieved amazing results. She has not only reached her goals, but kept going and set new goals, continuing to move forward and has completely transformed her healthy habits, lifestyle, mind, body and spirit.

In her Personal Training with Carlie Kerri lost 6 Kilos in her first 6 weeks, then went on to lost 12.5 Kilos by the time of writing her story below, and has now lost a total of 14.5 Kilos by the time we are now publishing this blog post!! (By the time you are reading this she has probably smashed another goal!!) 🙂

You are amazing Kerri, we are so proud of your awesome results, you are a total inspiration and we know that with your positive attitude and exceptional mindset that your new new healthy habits and lifestyle will be long lasting, this is just the beginning!!

Read on for Kerri’s story below:

“My name is Kerri – 4 months ago I was at a low point. Overweight, bad diet, unhappy about my appearance and lacking energy for my 3 and a half year old. I needed a change, it was something I had been thinking about for some time, just didn’t know where to start. My sister rang Fresh Fitness and talked to Carlie to tell her of my situation (because I was too scared). Carlie was completely understanding and told her to tell me to come in for a chat. To which I did and from that day, my life changed completely.

My excuse was always the same. How am I going to fit any exercise in to my day? “I’m a full time working mother to a 3 year old and a wife, I don’t have time for that!!” Now I need to do something every day. 1 Hour of exercise out of my day and I feel so much happier, more energised and it’s just a part of everyday now.

Training with Carlie is the best thing I ever started. She is friendly, helpful, fun & motivating – we share recipes and the exercise is always varied and I walk away feeling like I’ve had a great work out. Thanks to her help, I have lost (so far) 12 Kgs. In addition to the exercise, Carlie has helped me with my diet changes, made me start having breakfast and generally gives me great advice and direction to which I follow.

As a lover of all things fashion, I can once again fit in to nice clothes, my family and I have a new healthy diet and I have lots of energy to run around with my son. I am very grateful for the help I’ve had from Carlie and Shea and am looking forward to training and learning even more from them in the future.”

Here is a recent video from Kerri after losing 14.5 Kilos!

Inspirational Transformations – Adele

By admin | Boot Camps, Boxing, Client Transformations, Fresh Fitness Wall of Fame, Inspiration, Motivation, Training, Uncategorized | No Comments

Well done to our Boot Camp member Adele who has lost over 12kilos at our last Boot Camp which is double what she set out to achieve, and is now fitter, stronger, healthier and at her lowest weight even before her first pregnancy. Adele has such a positive energy and it has been a pleasure to see her amazing results and inspirational transformation! Well done Adele!!

Read on for Adele’s story…

“I signed up for my first boot camp with Fresh Fitness in September, having given birth to my second child 6 months earlier. My brother and his fiancée had completed a number of Fresh Fitness boot camps and I had witnessed their incredible results first hand, so when I wanted to regain some core strength and fitness (and hopefully lose some more of the weight I’d gained during my pregnancy) I decided to give boot camp a go.

I have never been very athletic, and I was hesitant and nervous going along for the first time, but Carlie and Shea were so supportive and encouraging and they facilitate such a friendly environment that I immediately felt at ease. Their ‘challenge by choice’ philosophy meant that I could take things at my own pace, but at the same time their encouragement compelled me to push myself further. I found Shea and Carlie to be very accessible. They were only too willing to provide guidance with regards to nutrition and exercise and I found, as I followed their instructions, the weight started to come off. I began to look forward to the sessions and enjoyed the fact that each night was something different.

Fast forward 12 weeks and I am feeling stronger, fitter and happier. I have lost 12kgs which is double what I set out to lose and has me at my lowest weight since before my first pregnancy. I am so grateful to Carlie and Shea for the incredible service that they provide and I found that I enjoyed the sessions so much that I’ve signed up for the next boot camp and can’t wait to take my journey further.” Adele Prickett

Hot Tips For The Festive Season

By admin | Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation | No Comments

Here are a few quick tips to help you stay on track over the festive season:

Allow your body time to relax. For many of us, it is a time of year that can wind up becoming very stressful. With Christmas shopping, extra food preparation, and extra get togethers with friends and relatives, unless we have extra time off from work and our usual commitments, all of this can become very tiring and taxing on our nervous system. Add to that a little extra alcohol and treats that we wouldn’t normally eat, which deplete our body of nutrients and you have a recipe for exhaustion!

So if we could give you one simple hot tip to help you stay calm and centred over the Christmas festive season, it would be this:

Remember to breathe.

So often it is the little things that we forget, we rush around and forget to breathe deeply, and when we stop and pay attention we realise that we are ‘shallow breathing’ which can have a detrimental effect on our nervous system.

So go on and take a nice big breath in… inhale… and out… exhale…

…Repeat this 5-10 times and notice how different and re-energised you feel…

This will help you stay calm and relaxed, so that you remember to make healthy choices for your mind, body and spirit, in the ‘silly season’.
