Review Your Year

Before thinking about what you WANT to achieve NEXT year, ask yourself what you ALREADY achieved THIS year.

Before you go steaming ahead, and start planning for the new year, I want you to take some time to review how THIS year went.  Ask yourself the following about this current year:
What went well?
Why did it go well?
What could you have done differently to make it even better?
What didn’t go so well?
Why didn’t it go well?
What could you have done differently?
review your year
This applies to ALL areas of your life, including your health and fitness. 

What’s the purpose of doing this?

Many of us are not very good at recognising and celebrating our own achievements.  We often overlook or fail to even notice our successes, deeming them as “insignificant” or “still not good enough”.  That is why it’s important to cut ourselves some slack, and to be grateful and happy for the things we have done well.  Even if these things seem minor, or even if you fell short of hitting a specific target you had in mind.  It’ll do no good for your confidence if you are always hard on yourself!
Review Your Year
Plus, it is useful to recognise HOW you managed to achieve what you did.  This way you will have to hand proven methods of success that you can continue to apply into the new year.
However, it is also important to recognise (but not to dwell on) our shortcomings.  If we can analyse what didn’t go so well this year, and identify WHY these things didn’t go well, then we can learn from our mistakes and ensure we don’t repeat these mistakes next year!

Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review

https://howistayfit.com/training/abolic4/ Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review   admin   28/02/2019 As you probably already know, I am generally not a big fan of nutritional supplements.  The reason being, is that most of the time I don’t notice any results that warrant spending money on them. Apart from Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), I usually just stick to the few basics like whey protein, creatine, omega-3 fish oil, and multi-vitamins. However, I am quite excited by the results of a new supplement that I have been experimenting with: A-Bolic4 A-Bolic4 The product I have been using is called A-Bolic4.  It is made by an American company called The Lab, and it is marketed as an “anabolic growth supplement”.  They claim that it “supports anabolic growth, increased metabolism, cellular integrity, and male sexual health”. My Experience Before I talk more about the supplement, and what’s in it, let me talk about my res...

“Starvation Mode”

“Starvation Mode” It is quite likely that you have come across the term “starvation mode” before. If you are dieting and exercising, but you are not seeing progress, then a common self-diagnosis is that your body has gone into “starvation mode”.  In this post I am going to reassure you that this is simply not the case!  Read on! Here’s a common scenario You were trying to lose weight, so you decreased your calorie intake and stayed disciplined to your workout routine.  You were happy to see your bodyweight readings going down, and your physical appearance was beginning to look slimmer and leaner.  Then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, all progress appeared to stop! You didn’t cheat on your diet.  You didn’t skip any workouts. So, you do what most of us do when we have a problem.  You search online.  You talk to your friends. And you soon come to the conclusion that you are not losing weight because ...

Clients’ Progress – it’s more than how you look!

https://howistayfit.com/life/client-progress-health/ Clients’ Progress – it’s more than how you look! How about we consider Health for a moment when we think about Fitness… Fitness is MORE than just your looks and appearance.  Instagrammers, take note: fitness is not just about how you look! I see the people I work with make awesome transformations, but these are NOT solely physical changes to their appearance.  I see them make positive changes to their health and their wellbeing.  They change mentally and psychologically, as well as often physically. Yes, clients’ physiques change.  They lose body fat, they tone up, they gain muscle, and they gain strength.  But so often many more changes than this take place, that you just CANNOT capture on camera. My point here, is NOT to put too much emphasis on the way you look when it comes to gauging your fitness progress.  And of course, usually the worst thing you can d...
