Still not lost by the summer? It's time to act!
'01.04.2017'
In preparation for the summer, you have already learned a lot about fitness, diet and body care? It remains a bit - from a theorist to turn into a practice! We are looking for motivation with fitness trainer Anna Garnets.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start working on yourself every day to become the perfect version of yourself! This is my life motto and the message that I bring to all women.
My name is Anna Garnets, I am 29 years old, of which 8 years I live in fitness. After the first birth, when 25 extra pounds appeared with the advent of my son, for the first time I seriously took up the process of losing weight and restoring its previous shape. Gym, the first trainer who did not regret me for a second, for which I am very grateful to him, the first experience and mistakes in building the right diet - and an excellent result. The form was no longer the same, the body began to look more feminine, and my whole life began to develop completely differently. Fitness has become not just a hobby, it has become my profession. Perception of stress, training methods and external ideals were constantly changing, and it was a colossal experience that ultimately shaped my personal system of weight loss, recovery and physical development for women. Working with women, I can say that the desire to change is often not enough, there is not enough motivation.
I want to give an example of my second recovery after childbirth and, perhaps, this will be an excellent motivation for you. I deliberately went headlong into my second pregnancy and completely abandoned sports. At first, the doctors banned it, and then it was simply laziness. There were hundreds of group and personal workouts under my belt, and the thought of workouts was not good. During the first trimester, the body was still in good condition, but then every day I felt myself increase. The result was, like the first time, +25 kg. It was not me who was reflected in the mirror again; it was an adult woman with dull eyes and a double chin. This time, such a state of the body after pregnancy did not scare me so much as motivated me - and after a long break I was full of strength and determination to regain my shape. Two months later, when the doctor gave the go-ahead for physical activity, my transformation began.
No house was built without a project, and this is the case with our body. In a few hours, a Whatman sheet turned into a 2-month Calendar with dates and tasks for each day. Crossing out daily tasks and reaching the long-awaited last day, when your calendar hangs in a prominent place - it helps a lot. Especially when you get tired halfway through the journey or give up. It is enough just to look at the crossed out cells, and you immediately understand that you have already passed and that it is simply unacceptable to stop. Photos, measurements and goal setting. I fixed my parameters with the help of a centimeter, weights and photos from different angles in lingerie, and also bought a dress that was 2 sizes smaller. From experience I can say that the arrow on the scales can be very demotivating when it does not meet your expectations, so you need to use different methods of controlling the process. Looking at the before photo, I dreamed and clearly imagined what the after photo would be like, and how I would meet the New Year in a new dress that would fit the new figure perfectly.
NUTRITION. My entire schedule was subject to alarms on my phone, which reminded me of the time for food or water. I ate where the alarm clock would catch me. I always had food with me, and I was not at all embarrassed that it could be in the most unexpected place, because I had a goal! I counted the FOOD itself by calories and cooked 2-4 days in advance. In the morning porridge, omelets, vegetables. For lunch, porridge, protein in the form of fish or meat and vegetable salad. For dinner, a light salad and fish or meat. In between, 2 light snacks with nuts, bread, white cheese or fruit, depending on the time. For 2-3 weeks, calls that it was time to eat began to work in the body 15 minutes before the alarms on the phone. The workouts were planned for a week in advance, but it was always three strength workouts in the gym and 1-2 cardio workouts on a treadmill (brisk walk, elliptical trainer or pool). Also, an important point in the process of losing weight is body care. My plan was skin stimulation, massage and hydration. To do this, I used dry brush massage, contrast shower and moisturizer every morning. It may seem that this is very simple and not enough, but if you perform these actions daily throughout the entire period of weight loss, then the skin will always be smooth, soft and moisturized, which prevents the appearance of stretch marks. It was important for me to fulfill each of the above points of the plan and cross out a new day in the evening, this brought me closer to my goal. I want to dwell on some of the points that I encountered and subsequently encountered many of my clients, who also decided to take care of themselves. When you abruptly switch your attention to working with yourself, then a lot of obstacles appear around: children start to get sick, equipment breaks down, family members get sick, and everything around seems to test you for strength. It is important to understand that there is no turning back and that you are moving forward for the sake of yourself and your health and inner comfort, and when a woman is happy with herself, everyone around her feels it. On my way there were many different tests, but first I had to fulfill the point of the plan, and then I can solve any problem. Day after day I walked towards the goal, sometimes crying from fatigue, and sometimes from joy, but I crossed out the last day of the plan, put on a dress that turned out to be even a little loose and did the final photo session. This plan remained in my closet, and when I lose motivation, I open it and see every day passed from the bbw to the real myself and understand my inner strength!
I am convinced that a woman is a flawless creature, but flawlessness is not a gift of fate, but daily work!
