Fit For Life with Anjuli

I didn't want to edit out the start of this because I like to keep it real. Ross and I were trying not to keep laughing! Definitely keen for lockdown to end and gyms to open again. BUT today's chat is actually really serious in terms of maximizing the results you get from your workouts.

-Mindset towards training (I get to, not I have to)

-Tracking progress (have a system to ensure progression)

-Timing rest periods

-Breathing (breathing in & out at the right time, not breathing properly may lead to feeling light headed/short of breath, breathe out on contraction and in on extension)

-Form > weight

-Mind muscle connection

activation.

In addition to increasing activation, it increases metabolic stress. If you neglect the mind-muscle connection, meaning you’re not thinking about activating your glutes when you perform exercises that involve the glutes, you work your glutes less, and other synergistic muscles, like your quads and hamstrings, compensate so that you can carry out the task (lift the weight).

A number of studies have shown greater activation when you think about contracting the muscle you’re trying to target.

-Sleep 7-9 hours

-Food as fuel

-Music/Podcasts/Motivational speeches

-Cute Outfit/Proper shoes etc

Today's podcast interview was amazing! Tiare and I have been friends for years and her work ethic inspires me so much. There was so many directions this chat could have gone! We covered many different things ranging from the mental/physical changes your body goes through with childbirth, what it's like to run a business whilst getting your masters & raising two children, getting a concussion and the recovery process of that along with so much more.

Today we spoke all about intrinsic & extrinsic motivation, how to turn motivation into habit, the importance of environment + positivity.

Intrinsic motivation comes from within, while extrinsic motivation arises from outside. When you're intrinsically motivated, you engage in an activity solely because you enjoy it and get personal satisfaction from it. When you're extrinsically motivated, you do something in order to gain an external reward.

Such a great conversation with Chad! We spoke about what it was like for his family to move from South Africa to Australia, the different businesses he has started from a young age to now (still young at 26) with a successful global company "Fortem Media" always looking to help other people through charity events, marketing for businesses, spreading good vibes. He is currently doing 75 Hard so we spoke about the importance of challenging yourself, routine, self development and so much more.

Such a pleasure to have Sam on the podcast today! She was just 13 when she was a finalist in the Top 6 for Girlfriend Model Search Competition which kicked off her modelling career. She was on the Vogue cover at 19 as the second Indigenous woman to do so.

But she is so much more than that, including being an ambassador of World Vision, Barnados (a charity to help keep children safe from abuse and neglect), WWF (protecting wildlife in Australia and worldwide), the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence.

Always striving to make other people's lives better where possible! LOVE it.

We covered a few things..
