Pregnancy is all about pressure. It is very important you understand this before I carry on. Pressure on the pelvis, pressure on the abdominal muscles, pressure on the connective tissue, pressure on the diaphragm and pressure on the internal organs. Not to mention pressure on the pelvic floor, which is hugely affected both during pregnancy...

Wetting yourself: common, but not normal

Do you comfort-eat? Or do you skip eating completely when you feel unhappy or are stressed? Both of these behaviours are connected with emotions, and we control them through our food. My impression is that this is something a lot of people do – eat in a certain way or starve themselves due to their emotions....

How to stop emotional eating

Few nutrients have caused as much discussion as carbohydrates – are they good or bad? Remember – if you’re doing strength training, your carbohydrate need is greater than for those with a more sedentary lifestyle. If you exercise a lot, you need carbohydrates. It’s the carbohydrates that get you through an exercise session, as they...

Carbohydrates – essential for energy

You’re doing ‘everything right’. You’re doing ‘all’ the exercises. And everything you’ve been told to do. By the book. And yet ... nope. Your stomach hasn’t got a lot better. OK, let’s start from the beginning. For your baby to grow, your abdomen needs to be able to stretch outwards – and it does! This includes your six-pack...

Abdominal separation: why isn’t it healing?

Stress is the same thing as anxiety or fear – it’s a threat that signals fight or flight. Our survival system, built in from time immemorial, kicks in: a biological function that has helped us to survive from a time when we were cave people and there were dangers lurking all around in the form...

Practical tips for reducing stress

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?

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...

Give yourself a year to establish new habits and a sustainable lifestyle

Like many others, you’ve probably been in that situation where you hear yourself say ‘yes’ when the inner you is screaming ‘no’. You regret it as soon as that little word has left your lips – you’d do anything to turn the clock back a few seconds and have another go. A surprisingly large proportion...

Saying ‘no’ isn’t so bad

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

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... Start with basic exercises that will get you where you want to go 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... What you need to know about bread Reshaping your body takes time and requires hard work, consistency and discipline in terms of both diet and exercise. But there are also some things that have a more immediate impact on your body shape. That can make you put on a kilo in weight from one day to the next or your waist measurement... Bloated stomach in a matter of hours? Here are some things to consider Micros and macros – what’s the difference, and what exactly ARE they? Are some calories more ‘valuable’ than others? I’ve done a lot of digging on the subject and have put all the info together to ensure your food gives you the energy you need! It’s hard to miss the current protein hype. Every second product... Micros and macros – what’s the difference, and what are they? These days it doesn’t seem too difficult to eat enough protein, but this is not entirely true. Trainimal Woman coaches hundreds of clients every week and that gives us a huge amount of experience of facts and reality, without any need for guesswork. You need protein in order to build muscle, but also in order to... 7 clever tips on how to get enough protein How much protein can you actually absorb from a meal? Just as you can use Lego bricks to build whatever you want – from a house one day to an aeroplane the next, all using the exact same pieces – proteins work in the same way. Each protein (the Lego model) consists of a sequence of... Protein – the body's building blocks If you've ever practised Pilates, you've probably heard of the term ‘powerhouse’. It's a name for the muscle groups that make us strong from the inside, and it includes our glutes and abdominal muscles. The powerhouse is part of everything we do in everyday life and gives us better posture – and a flat stomach! If... Why your ‘powerhouse’ is important (glutes and abdominal muscles) 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? 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? We have previously talked about diet: what to eat, how much, how to get started, how to say no, simple tips and tricks to not... Slowly does it, health is not a short-term project The key to weight loss is increasing your metabolism. Strength training and cardio both increase metabolism, but strength training is much easier. Intensity is the watchword. If you force your body to work hard, it will release performance-boosting hormones to survive. When done consistently, these hormones will have a positive effect on your metabolism. Strength training will... The most effective workout for fat burning 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 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! 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! It is possible to combine eating out with eating healthier even when your goal is weight loss. It's a matter of actively choosing the better options and eating the right amount. Sometimes you find yourself out with friends or family who have a different idea of where to eat. However, there are little golden nuggets in most menus. These are our top tips on how... Eating out, how to choose healthier meals! It’s not unusual for women to eat Greek yoghurt with honey for breakfast. Nothing else. I’d like to present a better alternative: our protein rich granola. The shop bought granolas are generally rich in sugar, calories and additives. Here’s a much better and super tasty alternative! Tip! Enjoy the granola with 1 cup of quark and ½... Protein rich peanut granola, (with only 3 ingredients) 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 You might already have your intake of carbohydrates, protein and fat under control, but are you aware of fibre and how much you eat of it? Even if fibre does not count as a macro nutrient, it is still important to get the right amount of it. Fibre is a type of carbohydrate found in vegetables,... Is your fibre intake under control? Approximately a third of all food produced is thrown away each year. That amounts to about 70-100 kg of fully edible food per person per year, depending on where in the world you live. We buy too much food, and when not eaten we throw it away instead of planning to eat the leftovers. In... Reduce your food waste, for the environmental impact and your economy. Breathing, stretching and drinking water after your run are probably routines that you’re already doing. But if you want to optimise and get that little extra out of your exercise, it’s also wise to review what you’re eating before and after your run. Here are some tips! Focus on the big picture What and how you should... How to eat before and after your run! There are few exercises that you can vary as much as planks. If you do planks correctly (because yes, you can also do them incorrectly), you will exercise your whole body and not just your abs. What should new mothers be aware of? How do you know if you are ready for this exercise? Where do we draw... Plank guide, part 1: posture and when you can start after pregnancy 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...

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.
