    Procrastination (It might be affecting your workouts, and probably not in the way you think.)

    This is a conversation we had many times in private because, let's be honest, while this might not be everyone, it is a lot of us! We wanted to talk about some of the different aspects of procrastination because also, while it affects a lot of us, it is often only in certain situations or with certain tasks. Recognising and dealing with procrastination is a very important part of starting/building an exercise habit. The difference between someone who exercises 3 times a week and one who can hardly manage once a week is very unlikely to be motivation. But that is what we are told, because the world likes to make us feel like we are the problem. Procrastination compounds feelings of self doubt and lack of self belief - every time you procrastinate on your workout you increase the feelings of doubt about whether you are worth it, can afford it, have time for it, should be doing it.  Procrastination is also a rebellion, against the things we don't want to do! The only way to overcome that is to be extremely clear on your "Why", clear enough that your brain (and self-esteem) realise that what you want stands on the other side of your workout.

    Your Worth is not Your Dress Size

    We get into the chaos that is clothing sizes! This discussion takes a roller coaster ride through the difficulties of getting clothes to fit, how sizes are categorised and our emotional connection to the label. Is the reason your clothes don't fit because you need to lose weight? No. The problem is not you. As with many things, the glitch happens in how we feel about the problem.  Support the show All the details of our Kofi account are below so if you want to be part of our journey to help more women, check it out - we thank you. www.ko-fi.com/thepowerof30 Places to find us; www.thepowerof30.co.uk www.curvesilkeston.co.uk Facebook; @thepowerof30 @curvesilkeston Books & Bones; Motivational Book Club Instagram; @curvesilkeston @3dannii3 @sallpeacock YouTube; Curves Coach Sall Peacock Dannii-Ellie

    Understanding Cravings!

    One of our most exciting episodes ever that could change your eating habits overnight! In this episode we're talking about how cravings work and what you can do about them, because despite feeling like they are totally out of your control, once you know how they work you can totally use the same process to develop a more desirable habit! Key points this week are; 2 types of cravings - habitual and "biological" (i.e. hormones or microbiome) Your "pudding stomach" is real and it's proper name is "sensory specific satiety" - you can use this strategy to your advantage too. Reasons for cravings that we cover; You're restrictingYou're not eating enough carbsYou're not eating enough proteinNot eating enough fibreYou're not eating enough. (Here we're talking about viewing your food through the lens of diet culture)Not eating satisfying mealsHormones!Lack of sleepGut bacteria and microbiomeSupport the show All the details of our Kofi account are below so if you want to be part of our journey to help more women, check it out - we thank you. www.ko-fi.com/thepowerof30 Places to find us; www.thepowerof30.co.uk www.curvesilkeston.co.uk Facebook; @thepowerof30 @curvesilkeston Books & Bones; Motivational Book Club Instagram; @curvesilkeston @3dannii3 @sallpeacock YouTube; Curves Coach Sall Peacock Dannii-Ellie

    Body Composition - BMI Vs Body Fat %

    This could be one of the most important episodes we've ever done. Few people understand the importance of body composition, even fewer apply it. We have been indoctrinated with the importance of weight without any consideration for what that weight might consist of. If someone gave you a kilo of money as a gift it would make a huge difference whether it was a kilo of pennies, or a kilo of £20 notes right? Let's apply the same logic to our bodies, and while it may be harder to ascertain our body composition we must at least begin to talk more accurately about them. Of course we will finish with some tips on what actions you can take that will make a positive impact on your body composition, and you probably won't believe how simple they are. There's no silver bullet answer for this stuff, don't expect to be blown away by a magic trick that no-one else knows. When it comes to the care of your body it's the dull, simple stuff repeated over time that counts; Strength Train to build lean muscleEat well, and nutritionallyHydrateLearn about youStop comparing yourself to others.For more information check out our other episodes on BMI and Stop Using Weight to Assess Health Support the show All the details of our Kofi account are below so if you want to be part of our journey to help more women, check it out - we thank you. www.ko-fi.com/thepowerof30 Places to find us; www.thepowerof30.co.uk www.curvesilkeston.co.uk Facebook; @thepowerof30 @curvesilkeston Books & Bones; Motivational Book Club Instagram; @curvesilkeston @3dannii3 @sallpeacock YouTube; Curves Coach Sall Peacock Dannii-Ellie

    Consequences Matter!

    When we decided to tackle this topic we didn't realise where it would take us! It's probably obvious to say consequences matter and we had all our notes prepared for the show. It was only when we got into it we realised the far reaching impact consequences can have. Enjoy the listen as the realisation dawns on us that this can change everything. And you can tell because we really stumble on words in this one!

    Facts vs Feelings (and identifying progress vs outcomes)

    Coach Sall has been sat on this one a little while and it's a great discussion about where we look for validation and motivation when we're working out. What data is important? what about how things feel, when we're making a big effort to achieve our goals? We are often deeply conditioned to believe the number on the scale is indication of our progress (or number of reps that one workout) and we are also pre-programmed to always spot what we failed at. How can we change how we think about data and feelings to encourage us and keep us doing the things that really count?

    Self-sabotage! Getting to know your saboteurs.

    We did a quiz all about saboteurs, you can get it here https://assessment.positiveintelligence.com/saboteur/overview Thing about self sabotaging behaviours is they are not always what we want and don't always serve us. Thoughts can spiral out of control and keep us stuck in certain behaviour patterns. The idea of this quiz is to identify behaviour that may have kept you safe in the past, and may be useful now, but also to acknowledge when you need to engage your wiser self-talk and not stay in that moment. The key is making that shift from saboteur to sage (your wiser self). Keep in mind when you are listening these are your SURVIVAL traits, and also this is a quiz and we always take a lighthearted view. If you would like to see our results head over to our Facebook page and check them out.

    No Pain No Gain! (Including; Exercising with an auto-immune condition)

    Listener Request! Let's talk about pain or discomfort you might experience when working out.  Should you work through it? Is it ever good? What about when you're sick - workout or not? In this episode we cover; Coming to the gym with an injuryAuto-immune conditionsWhen you’re not wellInjuries How injuries occur and types of injuriesHow you can rehabilitate a muscle and make it Stronger by using itMovement is GOOD for our bodiesMovement increases blood flow to an injury helping it to healPhysio Exercises - love them or hate them  - do them as often as you canIf an exercise a physio prescribes seems strange remember it’s about how your body functions, so often a physio exercise may not appear to affect the injured areaWhy do we get sore after a workout - what's normal and what's not? Soreness is caused by overload creating micro-tearsMicro-tears are how Strength Training worksThe main cause of micro-tears are eccentric contractions, which is a lowering of the weight where the muscle if lengthening under loadStretching helps by lengthening and smooth out the muscle fibres and reduce the sorenessSkeletal Pain - if you feel pain in your bones and joints, stop what you are doing, seek advice from a professional. Key take-aways; IT’S OK TO SLOW DOWN!Pain is not the same as discomfort.Pain does not validate your workout as a good or beneficial workout (and neither does sweating btw!)Exercising with an auto-immune condition (E.g. Fibromyalgia, polymyalgia, rhumatoid arthritis) When you are living with a life limiting condition, and you want to be living your best life - go and do your exercise.The most immediate benefit of exercise is your mental health, so exercise is really beneficial for anyone with an auto-immune condition. Moving your body is how it was designed to work best. If you have an auto-immune condition learn how exercise can make your body feel better, not put it under more stress.What about exercising when you feel ill? Don’t workout when you are not very well!There are no benefits of working out if you might be coming down with somethingOnce those critical few days are passed, get back to it, move your body, raise your core temp, get the blood flow goingSupport the show All the details of our Kofi account are below so if you want to be part of our journey to help more women, check it out - we thank you. www.ko-fi.com/thepowerof30 Places to find us; www.thepowerof30.co.uk www.curvesilkeston.co.uk Facebook; @thepowerof30 @curvesilkeston Books & Bones; Motivational Book Club Instagram; @curvesilkeston @3dannii3 @sallpeacock YouTube; Curves Coach Sall Peacock Dannii-Ellie
