Changes in lifestyle are much more foreseeable than you might think since all behavioural change goes through the same stages. Regardless of whether you are to start exercising, switch to a healthier diet, stop smoking or stop drinking alcohol, the change you make will follow the same pattern. If you figure out the stages, you...

New habits? What you can expect when you change your lifestyle

Are you planning to make a new year resolution this year? In that case, make sure you do it the right way. Study shows that more than one third of the resolutions fail by the end of January. Why? Because we often create unrealistic goals. Too strict resolutions rarely work in the long run and...

How to make (not break) your New Year resolution!

There’s a difference of opinion about the statement ‘fruits are sweets’. Some insist it’s true, while others think it’s madness to suggest that fruits could be compared to sweets. But what is actually correct? In order to explain, I want to start with the background to this statement. Sugar is an umbrella term for several different types...

‘Fruits are sweets’ – is that true?

If you’re a new mother, you should wait a long time before getting back to doing sit-ups and crunches, especially if you have abdominal separation. Crunches will never make your stomach strong and flat – quite the opposite is true! Here are some reasons to avoid sit-ups: Every sit-up or crunch you do, whether straight or oblique, puts...

Why you shouldn’t do sit-ups

START with the basics.
The basics will get you where you want to go.
The basics are safe.
The basics will build you up.
The basics will make you stronger. The basics are fundamental exercises such as squats, deadlifts, rows, chest presses, shoulder presses, biceps curls and dips. Maybe even chin-ups (although many people find these difficult). Learn these first...

By Olga Rönnberg, photo courtesy of iStockphoto If you are a night worker, you need to have different strategies from people who work during the day. Before I go into detail, you need to know an important fact (that makes a lot of difference!): being awake at night is not ideal for us as we are affected...

It is easy to think that being a low weight is the same as being healthy, but there are other factors besides weight that affect your health. Can you eat anything if you are thin? Do you have a target weight, a weight you think would be a healthy weight? You might need to think one step...

Here's a guide to what to eat after gastric bypass surgery. This is general advice and may need to be adjusted to suit the individual. Gastric bypass surgery reduces the stomach to the size of a small pouch, which limits how much food you can eat before you are full. The small pouch is directly connected to...

Gastric bypass – what should you eat?

Eating out, being social and attending dinner parties is a part of life, one of the nicer parts, right? What tactics should you adapt for these situations? How do you combined social events with a healthy lifestyle? We definitely do not want food to be associated with guilt and filled with prohibitions. The stricter we eat, the harder the setbacks. The more junk food we allow ourselves, the more...

The 90/10 rule, how do you apply it?

When you change your lifestyle, it's not just about getting started physically but also mentally, if not primarily mentally. You know what to do, so why do you keep treading water?

I generally don’t get sweet cravings, but when I do it’s always chocolate I fancy. This chocolate mousse recipe made me pleasantly surprised! The mousse is protein rich due to the egg whites and low in fat. You can if you wish, replace the honey with stevia or sweetener to make it sugar-free, it’s up...

Protein rich and healthy chocolate mousse

Having sweet cravings may be the result of having excessively low blood sugar, i.e. you are hungry, or you are eating too little. You’ll be able to manage your sweet cravings better if you always feel full. Check your calorie intake and be mindful of the protein content of every meal you eat. (Don’t skip...

Spring has barely arrived, and your exercise regime is right on track … and there you are … with a runny nose and a sore throat. Bad luck!

Let's take a deep dive into what's what when it comes to diastasis recti (aka abdominal separation, also abbreviated to DR). So much is written, so much is talked about, but my impression is that the discussion is going in the wrong direction. Mothers want to fix the separation at all costs – but that...

Probably the most important thing you can read about abdominal separation

In order to achieve the desired results from exercise and diet, you need to know the basics when it comes to food. How much should you eat? What are you supposed to eat? We often talk about calories and PCF distribution (protein, carbohydrate and fat content in different food). Let’s explore PCF! There are three different macro...

Basic nutritional facts that you should be aware of

It is possible to have sweet cravings after you’ve eaten. Sweet cravings don’t just emerge in the evenings – it’s not unusual for them to turn up straight after a meal. How should you deal with them? Here are a few suggestions! Include A LOT of vegetables in what you eat. Don’t go for tomatoes, cucumber and iceberg...

A vaginal birth increases the risk of prolapse, urinary incontinence and faecal leakage compared to a caesarean section. The risk of having a prolapse in conjunction with a vaginal birth is double. However, according to Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden: ‘the most important risk factor for pelvic floor disorders after vaginal delivery is being overweight...

There are some hormones that we need to consider when it comes to abdominal fat in women. How fat is distributed throughout the body and where it is stored depends not only on the calories you consume but also on hormones. If you want to lose fat, you not only need to be in a certain calorie...

Do you find fat collects around your middle? Here’s how to get rid of it!

Your post-workout meal should be one that maximises your body’s ability to restore, refuel and rebuild. During exercise your body breaks down the muscle (protein) and uses up the energy stored (carbohydrates). Post-workout the objective is to optimise the work you’ve done training by restoring the “damage” or breakdown of the muscle. The optimum intake in...

Post-workout meals

What makes a habit into a habit is not thinking about what we’re doing. The brain goes on to autopilot, and we do what we’ve always done – a cornerstone for survival! New habits tend to sneak up on us. Suddenly we’ve added bad habits or changed our behaviour. This tendency for habits to sneak...

In the first part of our plank guide, we found out about hollowing and the importance of finding the right posture before you start, as well as how much breathing affects our core strength. Now, we're going to keep talking about breathing, and specifically bracing. The main goal of bracing is to create a tightening in the abdominal...

Bread; it’s a love, hate relationship, right? It’s so tasty, but it's not often we eat it without feeling a little guilt. The misconception is that bread is all bad, and something we should avoid at all costs. Many of us even give up bread completely in a bid to lose weight or change the...

Do you eat well and exercise regularly, but the scales are stuck? Will the ‘muffin top’ that swells over your jeans not go away? Very strange, isn’t it? Maybe there’s something wrong with your metabolism? No. You’re eating without noticing, you’re eating on the sly. Sometimes you know it and sometimes you don’t. A little here... The ‘invisible food’ that prevents your weight loss

If you want to become stronger and see results from your exercise regime, it’s important to focus on progressive overload (one of the principles of strength training). This means overloading the muscles at regular intervals so that they grow, and you become stronger. Many people think the only way to do this is to lift heavier... Become stronger with Progressive overload If you are a client at Trainimal Woman you’ll know that most of the foods you eat can be recorded as cooked, uncooked or raw. As a result of this, the question comes up on a regular basis as to what form is to be preferred. Even if you are not yet a member, you... Weighing food when it is raw or cooked Important though it is to exercise your body, it is just as important to exercise your brain. As a CBT coach, I would suggest that the way to all change is via your head.

Here’s what some of our customers say:

Jaqueline

It will require an effort from you, time and energy, but it is money well invested. What I benefited from the most was the nutritional advice, I thought I was eating too much but I was eating too little. I learned to eat more regularly and my mood was at its best! The most important thing I took away from the journey with Trainimal Woman is that there are no prohibitions. Don’t train too hard, but train smart.

Jacqueline

Susanne

After my time at Trainimal Woman, I take with me that I can train smart, I can have fun when I train and I don’t have to go out of my way to get results. I have learned that diet is very important but I can still eat well and enjoy the food. The diet is beneficial in a way I didn’t think before.

Susanne

Theresa

After the kids, I didn’t recognize myself, neither on the inside nor the person in the mirror so I joined because I wanted to find myself again. All the knowledge I gained from Trainimal Woman made me a stronger, happier and freer person who dared more. Me, my inner and my body became a team.
