By now, you’ve probably seen and heard quite a bit about protein and how important it is to us. And there’s literally no disputing that getting enough protein is vital to us for a number of reasons.

However, with so much information flying around from so many different sources it can actually be really difficult to sort out fact from fiction, and figure out how much of it we actually need.

So today, I’m diving into this to talk about:

-why is protein so important and how can it help us to get better results from exercise

-what are the official guidelines on how much protein we need and how does that look in an average diet

-the easiest way to make sure you’re getting sufficient protein WITHOUT weighing, measuring and counting

-how we can make sure we’re getting a good mix of protein to support our bodies

I can’t actually believe it’s taken me 120 episodes to talk about this one - but honestly, it’s not something that I’d necessarily put at the top of the list when it comes to taking action. But of course, fear can be such a strong emotion within all of us, and it can rear its head in all sorts of ways in our lives.

Yet, many of us don’t realise that both fear of failure AND fear of success might actually be holding us back and keeping us feeling stuck. Which is why I want to get into this fascinating topic this week and see if we can unravel it a bit.

We’ll talk about:

-fear of failure and fear of success

-where that fear is coming from

-why that fear might be holding us back right now

-steps you can take to stop fear from holding you back, and start taking action

It might feel like whether or not you exercise is down to factors like how much time you have, how much energy you have, how much willpower you have. But as is so often the case, our reasons for not taking action can be much more deep seated.

So this week I want to get into the contribution body image has to whether we exercise. And believe me, body image can be a HUGE factor for us - and can often keep us in a vicious cycle where sometimes we’re getting into the groove for a bit and then other times it feels like there’s this invisible force holding us back and making us feel frustrated and rubbish about ourselves.

I’ll also be showing you how you can start to swap a vicious cycle for a virtuous cycle, and find some more peace with our bodies, and therefore be more likely to take the actions that we truly want to.

Does it ever feel like you’re going round in circles trying to get your sugar cravings under control? Like no matter how hard you try and how often you try and tough it out, eventually the cravings come back with a vengeance and you feel powerless.

Well, this week is all about finally nipping that all in the bud. We’re going to talk about:

-why sugar cravings exist in the first place (and it’s nothing to do with a lack of willpower!)

-blood sugar management, stress and other emotions

-hormone levels

-sleep, rest and gut imbalances

And of course, some key strategies to help you feel more in control of your sugar intake once and for all.

Time! That old chestnut - always top of the list when it comes to reasons that we’re either not exercising at all, or not doing as much of it as we would like. We’re all so busy doing all of the other (seemingly more urgent) things in life that exercise and wellbeing often comes way too far down the list.

But the problem is, that while we’re busy blaming a lack of time, our body isn’t waiting for us to catch up. It’s changing and adapting to where we are right now, which isn’t great news if we’re not incorporating enough movement into our lives.

So, this week I want to get into the reality of what it means when we keep telling ourselves we don’t have time to exercise and look after ourselves. And what’s really going on - is time actually the issue, or is it actually something else?

Ever feel like you make a decision to change something in your life and yet your brain seems to start telling you to do the opposite. It starts making excuses for you, persuades you that today is not the day to do the workout and that you’ll do it tomorrow instead?

If so, then the good news is that you’re completely normal, my friend. And the other good news is that there is something we can do about it - when we learn to engage our higher brain in a different way and tamp down lower brain a bit to start creating the habits we want to, so we can reach the goals we have for ourselves.

I’ll be sharing:

-What is the difference between higher brain and lower brain

-How do they show up in our lives and when do we know which one we’re operating from

-5 ways that you can start to engage higher brain more consistently to help you create healthy new habits

Over the last few weeks I’ve been talking about my 5 pillars for getting the fitness results that you want. Because too often we can rush into a new workout routine, fully of the certainty that this time everything has changed - even when we’ve changed nothing about our mindset, our approach or the way we’re setting our goals.

And now that you’ve built the layers that you need to for fitness success, I’m going to round this all up by sharing with you something amazing that you could be doing for your body and mind right now, which is going to bring all these threads together.

Plus I’ll be sharing 3 top things to be thinking about when it comes to your fitness and wellness routine and making it work for the long term.

This week we continue with the series on Getting the Fitness Results You Want, and we’re finally moving onto movement! There’s a reason this isn’t the first thing that I talk about - so if you want to know more about the foundations that need to be built to make this pillar as successful as possible, do go and have a listen to episodes 110 through to 113.

This week we’re going to talk all about:

-Why does regular exercise feel so damned hard?

-What can we do to make it that bit easier to bring into our lives

-And what does a great movement programme look like?

Ultimately, the key to life long movement is NOT going for broke straight away and ending up feeling broken and unmotivated when you can’t keep it up. It’s about building the habit first and building from there, and that’s what you’ll be learning about in this week’s episode.

I would love to also invite you to join me for the Women Lift Strong Workshop, which is happening from Monday 11th September. To join me for that just head to www.chickfit.co.uk/wlsworkshop

Over the next few weeks I’m bringing you my 5 pillar plan for getting the fitness results that you truly desire. We’ll gradually build a framework for fitness success on pillar at a time so you can identify the areas where you might need to focus a bit more attention to start seeing the results that are going to have you feeling fit, confident, energise, motivated and totally awesome.

This week we get practical and discover how you can nail your nutrition. 

We’re going to bust a few myths, get real about some of the toxic ways in which diet culture has messed up our relationship with food and ourselves, and how we can well and truly simplify this whole thing. Nourishment doesn’t have to be punishment - we can find a way that serves our goals and our wellbeing, while also allowing us pleasure and satisfaction too!
