Scales & the number they show are not a reflection of your health or fitness.

šŸ˜³It's just a number. šŸ˜³And if you stand on them over a 24 hour period it can change up or down!

šŸ’™I recommend my clients stay away from the scales & take notice of how a pair of jeans fit!

šŸ’™Get out of the stretchy waisted pants and put some on with a fixed waist.

People can weigh the same on the scale, but can look completely different in body composition.

ļ漚Ÿ’™And your genetics play a role tooā€¦skinny is never awesome ā€¦fit & healthy is best! ļæ¼ āž¾I personally weighed almost 10kgs lighter in my 20's than I do now but I wear exactly the same size clothing because my body is more muscular now. ļæ¼ šŸ˜€It's also stronger, has a faster metabolism & is leaner! I lift weights and run (which is not only good for my heart, lungs & body but a mental health break or my form of meditation). ļæ¼ šŸ˜€Read this article below on what's important and it's not some number on a set of scales that causes you distress every time you step on them. Put them away or get rid of them. ļæ¼ šŸ˜€I've only stepped on scales at the doctors and haven't weighed myself in over 13 years.

I believe if a fitness business wants to weigh you ask them why?

Yes, weight may reduce initially but it won't tell you how healthy or fit your becoming, & it's can be a negative mentally. ļæ¼ šŸ˜€Along with the copy I've included below look to read what Dr Libby wrote along the same lines..... ļæ¼ šŸ˜€"Your body is made up of fat and lean mass (which is basically everything else ā€“ muscle, bone, water). There is no actual substance called ā€˜tonedā€™. ļæ¼ šŸ˜€Being toned simply means having lower levels of body fat and higher levels of muscle mass. For performance, health and aesthetic purposes, the goal is usually the same: less fat, more lean mass. ļæ¼ šŸ˜³Sounds easy enough, but whatā€™s the best way of actually achieving it? Lifting weights will not only increase your lean mass, but itā€™ll also torch the fat off your body. ļæ¼ šŸ™‚I don't want to look bulky! Hereā€™s the good news: Women have nowhere near the necessary natural levels of testosterone to bulk up. In fact, many men donā€™t either. ļæ¼ šŸ’™And it gets even better: muscle occupies less space than fat.
