YOUR PERFECT AFTERNOON

So far this week we've covered the introduction to the perfect week and also your perfect morning - check them out straight after this if you haven't already!

Yesterday you completed the perfect morning and you'll want to maintain that for today, as well as for the rest of the week.

Let's build on that now with a guide to perfecting your afternoon:

1. DING, DING, DING! It's 1:00pm - grab your lunch and get out of there! Regardless of how long lunch is, take it outside. Before you start eating lie on the grass and take 10 big breathes, making sure to inhale through nose and exhaling out the mouth. Aim to fill your belly up with air, avoid rising up through your chest and shoulders, and actually blow the air our of your lungs through semi pursed lips over 3 - 5secs. Now you're in a relaxed state which will allow you to actually enjoy lunch, even if it is a shorter version today.
2. While you're having lunch punch in yet another reminder in your phone for 3:30pm with another "get up and move around the office" note, and get into the 2nd half of your pre-prepared snack.
3. Refill your water bottle and aim to consume it by the days end! Keep it front of you which will encourage you to drink from it more often without even thinking about it.
4. It's 5:20pm, time to get outta there! Buy now you should have easily made your way through 2 refills of your water bottle.
5. I'll be seeing you at Level 1 / 308 Toorak Road for some good old fashioned personal training to unwind and de-stress from the work day.

The Perfect Training Session

Let's discuss quickly what a perfect training session should include. Training is great for de-stressing after work and it also provide the body with a physical challenge for the day. You're probably a little drained mentally from the workday which is why a personal trainer can be a great idea as you don't have to do any of the thinking, just the doing!

A perfect training session will register about a 8 or 9 out of 10 on the effort scale. For every 15 minutes you train, you want to hit a stage where you literally need to stop and catch your breath for about 10 - 20 seconds. Do not confuse this with feeling a little uncomfortable, you physically need to be out of breathe. You can go to a full 10 out of 10 but make sure you can get up for work in the morning!

You want a mix of mobility, stability, strength and endurance in your workouts. We're not professional athletes here, but we do need to cover the essentials because it's those training 'gaps' you have that will either result in injury or a quick training plateau.

I can set this up for you no worries which you'll find out with your complimentary session (call 0411 091 978!)

Tomorrow we'll run through finishing your day up with a perfectly planned evening.
