24.01.2022 What I love about #uhppersonaltraining : My mentors. @joes.team told me this week, "don't treat your clients like glass, they won't break". I took his advice and decided to put my client under the bar. He impressed the sh*t out of me, squatting 30 kg for 3 sets of 10. Started with goblet squats last week Coach Cindy @fit.af.cindy... #UnleashingHumanPotential See more

20.01.2022 Check out my client @angelicafajardo. She was always into sports growing up, but didn't start lifting seriously until recently. We started her off with making sure her form was good using light dumbbells. Then we moved on to light barbells. She's now working with the 20 kg bar for reps, with GREAT form. She is feeling more confident in the gym and gets super pumped when she hits a new PB (which happens often ).... We all start somewhere. Perfect your form; progression will follow fast. If you're interested in learning how to set up for a bench press, DM me to set up a time to talk Coach Cindy @fit.af.cindy #UnleashingHumanPotential See more

18.01.2022 COACHING COSTS TOO MUCH. I DON’T HAVE TIME TO TRAIN . I DON’T NEED ONE IM ALREADY BIG/STRONG Before I became trainer even I thought to myself that i’ll never need one. I thought WRONG At a point I was getting sick of plateauing that it was time to get another set of eyes to look at the way I train and eat. Since losing fat and getting strong was my goal, it was time to make it a PRIORITY and not just something that I was always trying to chase. ... I invested in a coach and I don’t have to let my emotions and thinking get in the way of my PERFORMANCE. It takes out a lot of mental energy from having to figure out what I need to do and let an expert handle that. This alone gave me more TIME to PRIORITIZE my goals. Coaching wouldn’t be a cost if you were investing in results AND I wouldn’t be wasting time going at a slower pace than my potential. P.S. it’ll be the best decision you ever make.

13.01.2022 WHY DID I BECOME A PT? Honestly I don’t think I would be doing this full-time. There is something about seeing clients set goals and me being part of it conquering them. I see more than just physical change but a change in mindset and self-belief.... I had little belief and very very little education when I first started training. For some, this could lead to falling off the wagon or injury. I want to prevent that from happening. Education and helping humans understand the ins and outs of their physical and mental capabilities is my why. The ride is so much better with the team I have by my side Coach José #UnleashingHumanPotential See more

05.01.2022 Here’s a bit of advice I have to give FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE in regards to losing weight whilst still getting stronger (asides from food ). I lost 10 kilos in bodyweight and put 72.5kg on my competition total in 7 months. In theory it may sound impossible however it can definitely be done especially when you are not as advanced within your training experience. 1. Prioritise in maintaining and progressing compound movements. When losing weight you need to place ...a demand on your muscles to keep them with a finite level of recoverability. Whilst in theory trying to do a lot of volume for each muscle group sounds like the best to lose weight, you probably won’t recover from it. Thus, when trying to be strong and lose weight stick to your bread and butter that got you in the first place. 2. KEEP REFINING YOUR TECHNIQUE. As your body composition continues to change, so will the leverages you use to lift weights. I’m not saying you have to adopt the complete opposites to what you’re currently doing ie.(conventional to sumo), but what I am saying is be a bit more mindful as things might niggle if neglected. 3. Use non-exercise modalities to burn extra calories. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis is low stress, and low exertion. Walking really helps with allowing you to eat a bit more food for you to recover. I went on maximum 20 minute walks, 2x a day as anymore was counterproductive to recovery. Standing up whilst working was also helpful. 4. Find ways to reduce external stress. Admittedly whilst COVID was a shit time for a social life it was productive in terms of recoverability. During COVID stress was low, and exertion I can put into training was high. We hope a pandemic wave isn’t on the horizons soon but find ways to reduce stress when losing weight as your body is probably already pissed off at you for tipping the scales of homeostasis. 5. Have an environment that cultivates success. Dieting and losing weight is a tough process, fortunately I also had friends dieting with me and we kept each other in check. If you don’t know where to start get a coach who can keep you in check Coach Raz See more
