It can be so frustrating and disheartening when you embark on your new fitness regime,\u00a0 work so hard on lifestyle changes and yet you don\u2019t see the results you want? It could be that you are not feeling stronger, not toning up as you had expected or maybe it’s a weight goal you were working towards or a new target in your running times.\u00a0 It can hit your motivation levels hard and you start thinking why am I doing this? So, this week I am going to give you some ideas as to why you might not be seeing the results you want and what you can do to fix it.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Check your nutrition<\/strong> – are you eating enough protein (or maybe eating enough full stop!). <\/span>You should be eating 1g of protein for every kilogram you weigh so if you weigh 60kg you should be having 60g of protein in a day. Plus, if you\u2019re strength training you might want to add an additional 15-30g on top of that. You need to really think about fuelling your body correctly to get the best results as well as working out your intake vs how much you are expending through exercise.<\/p>\n

2. Prioritise your weight training.<\/strong> Are you finding you\u2019re slogging away doing your cardio each week but by the time it comes to your strength work you haven\u2019t got anything left to give? Make sure, you prioritise that strength work!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Daily steps.<\/strong> Your non-exercise energy expenditure is too low. Now, here I am talking about daily activity not exercise specifically \u2013 so, walking, moving around and generally being active. The more you move, the more you will see results.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Rest days.<\/strong> Working hard is key to progressing on your fitness journey but so is rest, recovery and sleep!\u00a0 You should be getting 8 hours sleep per night and incorporating 1-2 rest days every week when you\u2019re training hard. You should also make sure you\u2019re recovering properly and including active recovery is always a good idea \u2013 gentle walks, Pilates and yoga are always a big tick when it comes to helping your body recover from hard sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Lastly and most importantly of all – have you got your weights right?<\/strong> Are you lifting too heavy or too light? If you\u2019re doing 10 reps of an exercise or you\u2019re getting to the end of 30 seconds work and you still have more to give and could do a few more reps without too much trouble then it\u2019s time to up those weights. You\u2019re not going to see improvement if you\u2019re not challenging yourself. Equally, if you are meant to be doing sets of 10 and you\u2019re only managing 5 or 6 then you might have ramped that weight up too quickly and the chances are your form might be suffering as a result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is one thing for sure though and that is consistency is key to success. If you are doing the above correctly, eating well and working hard in your sessions regularly then the results will come. Keep going! If you\u2019re struggling for motivation or finding it tricky to stay on track take a look at my recent summer fitness blog with all my tips to keep you motivated towards your goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
