When you go through the motions or just show up, youโll stop responding, youโll get bored or even worse, set yourself up for injury. Hereโs some tips on increasing your energy and enjoying the process while transforming ๐
๐๐พ Music- my favorite tool! Listing to music while training will up your focus, intensity, and engagement increasing your endurance by up to 15%
๐๐พ Ask questions- (especially while working with a coach/trainer/mentor) making sure your moving right, form is correct and engaging correct muscles. Understand why you are doing it, the cause and effect. You want to make sure your session is effective and progressive.
๐๐พ Go hard- women tend to play it safe. Staying away from weights, sticking with the same weight. Your body will respond with every LITTLE change you make for a period of time. Positive self talk will take your training and confidence to another level, allowing you training a little longer than you normally would. (This is why having trainer/coach/mentor is valuable)
๐๐พ Gear up- workouts seeming a little stale? No energy, no connection? Go on a little shopping trip for some new fresh workout gear. It just does something to the sole!
ย ๐๐พ Hydrate- dehydration can make you feel sluggish. This makes it hard to concentrate. Keep the water flowing. About 65% of your body is water, doesnโt it make sense to keep hydrated for your body to function at itโs best?
๐๐พย stay engaged (be present)- dial in on the exercise your doing, what muscles are you working, where are you feeling it. Breathe, breathe, breathe. Sometimes donโt go for a certain amount of reps. Go until you canโt do anymore.
