Nikki is a personal trainer but has since rebranded herself into a transformational specialist 3-4 years ago; this is because one of the biggest points of improvement she has seen among her clients is their increase in confidence. They feel happier, better, and more empowered about themselves. Her clients are mainly women who feel lost because they have been out of their jobs for a while due to motherhood and a big part of her job is getting them stronger and feeling better in their own skin. Nikki thought it was fabulous seeing people transform with their confidence and not just seeing an increase in self-esteem, but also with how people view their bodies and seeing themselves as strong, functional beings.
Nikki recommends for people struggling with their weight with sugar and cholesterol problems to address it as soon as possible. She suggests weight training to lose body fat and work with a qualified nutritionist for a more holistic approach and to also look at a client’s cornerstone habits. It’s also best to look for more nutritious options for snacks. Weight training, nutritionists, and moving away from a sedentary lifestyle is one of the best ways to combat weight loss.
For those wondering if they’re doing enough exercise, Nikki recommends starting a healthy fitness lifestyle as early as possible and maintaining strength as best as you can. Wearable devices are also great tools to help track your progress. Daily activities such as 30 minutes of good quality weight training, resistance training, and aiming for 10,000 steps a day can all help in combating weight loss and help promote muscle mass and having an overall healthier lifestyle.
