If you’ve been working out hard, but you’re not seeing the results you want, this week is for you. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to work your butt off and not be where you think you should be. It’s frustrating, it’s de-motivating and it takes a lot of determination to dust yourself off and keep going. This week, we wanted to give you some ways to deal with the frustr ..
Motivation is a word that’s thrown around a lot in the fitness industry. And yes, while motivation is incredibly important to help you get started on your health and fitness journey, it’s not necessarily something that’s going to propel you along forever. Think about it. We all have days where we aren’t motivated. There’s always going to be times when you’d rather “Netflix a .
I’m sure we’ve all been there. The alarm goes off at 5:30am, signalling the time for you to get up, get changed and get to the gym for the 6am class. You hit the snooze button… “Just 5 more minutes.” The alarm goes off 5 minutes later… Again, you the hit snooze button. The alarm goes off again – and you repeat the same process. Eventually, you’ve hit sn ..
Ah, Easter. Can you believe it’s come around already? It’s a fun time of year – school holidays, family gatherings, long weekends, and of course, chocolate. Fun, yes. Challenging to navigate when you’re trying to be really healthy, though! We believe that you should be able to enjoy a few treats here and there, especially at Easter, Christmas, etc. Life’s too short ..
We have the privilege of seeing people transform before our very eyes – and we don’t just mean physically! To change the person on the outside, you need to help the person on the inside, too. Mental health and well-being is a huge area of focus these days, and for good reason. The suicide rates in this country are skyrocketing. We’ve personally been touched by this ..
This week, my wife shared a post on our MP Studio Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/mpstudio.com.au/), that seemed to really resonate with our audience…. Here’s a snippet…. ““Comparison is the thief of joy.” Just stop and think about that quote for a moment. I’m sure you’ve heard it before. Every time we compare ourselves to someone else, w ..
Did you know that by the 6th week of the year, 80% of people have already broken their New Year’s resolutions? Yep, the majority of people who set intentions for a fresh start in 2018, weren’t able to follow through. There could be several reasons for that. And that’s what we look at in this week’s video. Because there are some simple things that the other 20% are doing that ..
I was going back and forth in my mind. I didn’t know which was the right choice. I knew that on one hand, I would be following through on a commitment I made to myself. But I knew the other way was going to be better for me. So I went with that…. And for the first time in a long time, I skipped my weekly Transformation Tip and went to bed instead. I’d been at a c ..
Ah, exercise. So beneficial for us, yet can bring us so much discomfort… And I’m not just talking about the workout itself! If you’re feeling a bit stiff and sore after working out recently, you’re not alone. Often, when we get back into exercise after having a bit of a break (eg Christmas holidays), we feel it well beyond the actual exercise! DOMS (Delayed Onse ..
With all the new year’s resolutions floating around right now, many people are making massive changes to their lifestyle habits. Going on diets. Cutting carbs. Counting calories, or macros. Cutting sugar. All with the intention of losing weight, getting healthy and feeling good about themselves. But, does it REALLY need to be this way? Is it REALLY sustainable ..
