5 Healthy habits for weight loss!

1) Have a no eating after 7pm rule, or at least cut carbs out from 5pm.  High Protein with as many vegetables as you like will help you feel full and metabolise fat as opposed to storing it!

2) Drink at least 500mls of water 20mins before each meal so that you feel fuller and also do not mistake thirst for hunger!

3) Do your cardio routine early in the morning before breakfast if possible?  If you drink coffee, having your one cup of coffee first thing before exercise will also help speed up your metabolism and burn fat.  NB.  20mins min of cardio before the fat reserves are hit.  Interval training is the best method to shock your body and increase fitness and stamina.  Plus you will burn more calories.

4) weight training is the best to increase your metabolism.  I highly recommend at least 3 sessions a week even for a quick circuit format of only 20mins.  Work different muscle groups so that you are working non stop and other muscles are resting whilst you are working other muscle groups.  This is a time efficient method, effective and great for fitness.  Contact me if you want a routine or any 1:1 personal training sessions. Or any questions you may have please post on my blog. rosa@pilatespluswellness.com

5) At the end of your run or weights session do pilates for your core, plus for inch loss.  This will also help you stretch out, feel relaxed yet energised for the day.  It only needs to be 15-20mins a day.  Or fit the pilates in before bed.  Our lives are hectic and busy, but it is making time and valuing your time for you and your well being.  Everyone, can make time if they want to and if it is important to you?  If anyone wants any help with motivation, time management or coaching please let me know. rosa@pilatespluswellness.com

I hope this is helpful and I will post routines and also results from clients to help keep you all motivated.  Pilates classes are run in Clapham, Pregnancy pilates in Battersea, Pregnancy pilates classes in clapham.  Also Pilates classes in Balham. 

If you want corporate Pilates classes in your workplace please let me know and I can organise this for you.
