The Importance of Self Reflection
If you have body composition and strength goals in the gym, it is important to practise self-reflection regularly:
Self Reflection can help to bring awareness to:
Your progress when you are feeling deflated
Your goals when you are feeling bored or distracted
Your barriers when you lose sight of what's holding you back
If you are someone who is frustrated at not being able to achieve their goals in the gym, gets demotivated by a perceived lack of progress or even constantly changes goals because they forget their "Why"
Then you can learn more about the importance of Self Reflection in this weeks PPS Podcast Episode.

Breaking Your Own Limiting Self-Beliefs
Do your own limiting self-beliefs hold you back in the gym?
Do you suffer from fear of failure or have to overcome your own crippling self-doubts?
In this PPS Podcast episode, I share a story of how one of my clients lost 12KG at PPS by simply believing she could.
She overcame her own self-beliefs and stopped looking for reasons why "she couldn't" and finally saw results in the gym.
We all struggle with beliefs that we have learned from our own experiences in life and these beliefs can be broken, if we choose to confront and challenge them.
Your beliefs around the gym, body composition and fitness are no different.
If you think "The Gym Isn't For You", "You aren't capable of setting and achieving Goals" or "Diets don't work for you", then this is the episode for you.

How to have Confidence when Setting Goals in the Gym
“Uber asks for your destination before they pick you up."
Are you training in the gym without goals to work toward? Do you have goals but not the confidence to seriously think you can achieve them?
In the first episode of the new and improved PPS Podcast, I take you through my regular process for helping people to:
1) Get Clear on WHAT they want
2) HOW to achieve these goals
3) and WHY it’s important to them
So they can take their performance to the next level inside and outside the gym and achieve what they really want (but are too shy to admit it).
Even when they lack motivation or “cbf”.
Jump on board and give it a lesson before you finalize your goals at PPS in 2021 and learn why you may not be achieving what you really want!
