INVEST IN YOURSELF TO⭐️ ⭐️IMPROVE YOUR LIFE⭐️⭐️ And i don't mean fancy clothes or expensive shoes. 👗👠💋Firstly, I have to give a #shoutout to my Fall 28 Day Protocol group. You are taking the steps, doing the work, investing the effort, time and focus: keep up the great work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️Your success is directly correlated to the investment you put in yourself. The time and energy you dedicate to your self improvement in any area as well as the clarity and mental work of your self development is the best investment you will make. If your thoughts, emotions self-discipline and self-talk are negative and in disarray, so will be your life. ✅ HOW TO CREATE WHAT YOU WANT? Invest money in coaches, in courses, in learning from the best who are where you want to be. The level of accountability and change a coach or course can give you will convert to improve everywhere in your life. It is no coincidence that the Fortune 500 folks have multiple coaches, are in multiple mastermind groups and Spend TONS of money to elevate their selves. And most of them meditate! #investinyourself #mentalhealth #personaldevelopment #selfdevelopment #selflove #findacoach #ihavethree #hiringanothersoon #resilient #persistence #hustle (at Catherine Tanaka Fitness)

METABOLIC JUMPSTART ⭐️Did you know what you eat also affects your metabolic rate! Your body actually burns calories to absorb, digest, and metabolize your food. This is called the “thermic effect of food” (TEF). You can use it to your advantage when you understand how your body metabolizes foods differently. Fats, for example increase your TEF by 0-3%; carbs increase it by 5-10%, and protein increases it by 15-30%. By trading some of your fat or carbs for lean protein you can slightly increase your metabolic rate. Another bonus of protein is that your muscles need amino acid to repair and grow. By working out and fuelling your muscles with what they need will help you to lose weight and keep it off on days your eating isn't perfect. And don’t forget the mind-body connection. There is plenty of research that shows the influence that things like stress and sleep have on the metabolic rate. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to metabolism and how so many different things can work to increase (or decrease) your metabolic rate.

METABOLIC JUMPSTART ⭐️DAY 3: What affects your metabolic rate? DO YOU EVER WONDER HOW YOU CAN SPEED UP YOUR METABOLISM? Your thyroid gland: This gland at the front of your throat is extremely instrumental in regulating hormones releases to tell your body to “speed up” your metabolism. Of course, the proper release of thyroid hormone and increase of it, the faster your metabolic rate will be and the more calories you’ll burn. But that’s not the only thing that affects your metabolic rate. 👀 How big you are counts too! 🤼‍♀️ Larger people have higher metabolic rates (naturally, you need more engine for a larger car 🚗) ; but your body composition is crucial! As you can imagine muscles that actively move and do work need more energy than fat does. So the more lean muscle mass you have the more energy your body will burn and the higher your metabolic rate will be. Even when you’re not working out. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 This is exactly why I am a huge proponent of resistance training as a part of a weight loss program. Because you want muscles to be burning those calories for you. The thing is, when people lose weight their metabolic rate often slows down which you don’t want to happen. So you definitely want to offset that with more muscle mass. Aerobic exercise does also temporarily increases your metabolic rate during your activity and for a short time afterwards. 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻 The best bang for your buck however is adding resistance training, in a circuit style fashion that pushes your intensity level for short burst that builds muscle while pushing your close to your redline. #metabolism #fitness #threshold #hiit #intensity #agility #thyroid #girlswholift #resistance #crossfit #battleropes #fitmom #sixpack

METABOLIC JUMPSTART 3️⃣Day Series: reseting yours DAY 2 : Your body has an incredible ability to grow, heal, and work towards thriving. Without the amazing biochemistry of your metabolism your everyday functioning would not be possible. Metabolism includes how the cells in your body: ● Enables activities you can control (e.g. physical activity etc.). ● Allow activities you can’t control (e.g. heart beat, wound healing, processing of nutrients & toxins, etc.). ● Allows storage of excess energy for later AKA fat storage. So when you put all of these processes together into your metabolism you can imagine that these processes can work too quickly, too slowly, or just right. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 There are ways to improve the general processes of your systems and work to optimize your metabolism so that you can feel amazing, move well and be your best self. #metabolism #education #catabolic #anabolic #fitness #healtg #nutrition #biology #physiology #nutritionscience #cellularhealth #bossbabe #sportnutrition

METABOLIC JUMPSTART 3️⃣Day Series: reseting yours This word “metabolism” gets thrown around a lot these days. People blame their metabolism as the culprit to weight gain if their metabolism is functioning too slow. 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀But what exactly does this mean? Well technically “metabolism” is the word to describe all of the biochemical reactions in your body. It’s how your body obtains nutrients and oxygen and uses them to fuel your system for everything you do. Do you think you have a sluggish metabolism? 👀👀 #metabolism #metabolismbooster #fitness #nutrition #bossbabe #blogger #torontoblogger #podcast #education

Lead by example: they eventually follow...(hopefully) 🙏🏻 It is much easier as a fitness coach do lead your tribe; when my clients are ready to be coached or increase their fitness, being an example for others is a simple process. However, as a parent I find that cultivating the love for movement, the awareness and appreciation for the gift of a strong healthy body, and the miracle and amazing things that your body is, is so much more difficult. I make a conscious decision to reactive what I preach in front of my kids, set an example and show my children my best foot forward. I had to catch at this moment from yesterday with my daughter: she asked to do yoga together on the dock – she decided to lead and I just followed. Maybe I am setting a good example after all is good at that. #yoga #miniyogateacher #leadbyexample #cultivatewhatmatters #cultivatehealth #wildthing #flipdog #downwarddog #bossbabe #fitmom #mybaby (at Musselman Lake, Ontario)
