Tip 1

Carbs after exercise!

This is a simple philosophy of working towards earning your starchy carbs. In the last blog, we talked about the difference between green and beige carbs and the need to reduce your beige carbs and up your green carbs.  Read more: 5 healthy tips for busy lives

After exercise, especially vigorous exercise like long runs or other prolonged cardio workouts your body has depleted its natural storage of glucose.  This needs to be replenished simply because glucose is required to push the protein into your muscles.  Keeping your starchy carbs, like rice, potatoes and even quinoa until after exercise will ensure that you benefit from them and you can burn them off easily.

How do you add this to your lifestyle?

Enjoy a Quinoa salad after your lunchtime workout or vigorous walk or if your day is sedentary, wait until you have exercised at the end of the day and savour your starchy carbs at the end of the day.    Do you need motivation but lack the time,  join me for a 10-day Tummy challenge.  It’s only a 10-day challenge that lasts for 10 minutes a day.

Tip 2

Move more and exercise less.

I appreciate that this phrase sounds like a contradiction.  The explanation is easy, by exercising 3 times a week down the gym you are not going to benefit your body. Your body will plateau.  If you are using the same equipment week in, week out, attending the same class with no variety your body will get used to it and you will not create change.

In fact, over time it will have a negative impact on your body composition.

If you are performing the same exercises in the same way – and that includes excessive cycling or running then you will create the same strain each week in the same muscles.  Repetitive strain from monotonous and unvaried workouts will increase pressure and strain in the same places in your body over and over again.

Instead, look to challenge your body in a variety of different exercises at different times of the day and week will challenge your body and improve your health. For instance weight training is essential for women in particular – muscle tone starts to naturally deplete after the age of 30. Weaker muscles mean that your spine is not supported, you are more likely to suffer from shoulder or hip issues, as the strain on your joints increases.  Muscle tone and weight-bearing and resistance training are vital to prevent osteoporosis.  My Pilates classes always come with both core training and weight training.  Visit my Pilates website to find out more about online Pilates www.adelespilates.co.uk/online 

How do you add this to your lifestyle?

Aim to walk 10,00 steps a day – go outside for lunch and clear your head.  Research proves that taking time out of your busy day to enjoy the outside and keep fit will aid your business success.

Tip 3

Posture at a desk is a vital consideration for your long-term health.  If you are slumped over your desk neck aches, backaches and long-term strain on your body will result in your ill health.  Osteoporosis is also a risk factor when you spend time hunched forward. Your body will efficiently reduce the bone strength to areas of your body that you no longer use.  Hunching over is a posture that means your body won’t require back strengthening, your body gets the message and will not send bone cells to that area because of lack of use. Your body is incredibly economical with your body’s resources.  If there are areas, muscles or even bone that is not being used on a regular basis then your body will skillfully stop sending nutrients to that area.  Your body is organised in a very efficient, resource-saving  mechanism

The other consideration of back posture is the medication you take to alleviate the symptoms of incorrect deportment.  For instance, the odd pain killer here and there may be a sign that you have become used to medicating your back pain, instead of dealing with the symptom.  This is going to get worse until you pay attention, and it is a sign that your pain is long-term and your posture needs to be addressed. Don’t rely on pain medication to solve your back problem, create a great workspace instead.

How do you add this to your lifestyle?

Ergonomic chairs can alleviate bad posture, as can your body awareness. Be aware of your  body alignment at the desk – make sure:

• • • that your hips are in line with ears, you are sat upright
    • elbows in line with fingers,
    • eye gaze directly at the monitor.

Tip 4

Save time and gain health by ordering shopping online or if you really need to pop into a supermarket, make sure that you stick to the outside of the supermarket.  You will notice that all the aisle of fizzy drinks – sugary drinks what you need to know. They are in the centre of the shop. Stick to the outside and have a quick smash and grab.

How do you add this to your lifestyle?

Order organic veg box to your door – count nutrients not calories. I love my Riverford meat and veg box, it is delivered straight to my front door. All the nutrients I need to feed my family and keep me strong and on the ball with my two businesses.  My hubby and I have never skimped on organic food

Tip 5:

Don’t attempt to change everything at once.  Start slow, major overhauls don’t last. You want your new habits to create lifelong routines. 

Pick one habit from the last two blogs and stick to it for two weeks. Create the habitual compound effect, add in small changes over a longer period of time and that will create the transformation you require to stay strong and focused throughout your working day.

How to make effective change

Going cold turkey with your health involves a strength of character most of us aren’t blessed with. Willpower wanes throughout your day. It is highest at the beginning of the day.  Some newbie runners and exercise queens have been known to sleep in their running gear so that they don’t have the option but to get up and go in the morning… early morning motivation is higher. “Get up and move before your brain wakes up.” Adele @ get-gorgeous

Instead, evoke the healthy habit compound effect and make small changes over a long period of time which in time create dramatic transformations.

“Habits don’t need willpower, they are with you for life.” Adele @ get-gorgeous

“Gorgeous! This book is simply amazing. It is so well written and answered so many questions for me as to why diets fail. I now understand why the minute I am confronted with diets giving menus and shopping lists, good foods and bad foods I respond with a NO! Having read this book I now know it’s my inner teenager rebelling, and oh boy I knew about rebellion in my teens. Listening to your body is something I’ve discovered over the years, now I know how valuable this is. What this book doesn’t offer is a quick weight loss solution, what it does offer is a grounded way to consider one’s actions, why we make the choices we do and with this understanding, be enabled to make a lifestyle choice that will result in weight loss without rules and regulations attached to dieting. It is definitely an entertaining read, I couldn’t stop reading. The explanations are thorough and based in research without being heavy and dry, very meaningful and I would say, give this book a go, it could move you to a whole different level in your dieting life.“
