Three Ways to Move Better. Feel Better. Perform Better.
1. How to Navigate Grocery Shopping to Stay On-Track with Your Nutrition Goals
- Choose recipes/meals and foods in advance based on whole foods.
- Write a shopping list with everything you need before shopping (even online) – this helps avoid distractions.
- Shop online and only buy what you need – this is the best way of avoiding the psychological tricks they play in the shops to get you to buy all the junk you don’t need. But if you can’t shop online for any reason follow the next steps…
- Avoid shopping when hungry – your willpower is lower when you’re hungry.
- Avoid shopping at busy times – getting stuck is busy isles provides opportunity for the ‘special offers’ to catch your eye.
2. My Favourite Workout Shoes
For the past few years I have been wearing VIVOBAREFOOT shoes for all of my strength training workouts.
I also have a couple of other pairs that I wear outside of the gym day-to-day.
They’re designed to be wide, thin and flexible: as close to barefoot as possible.
They help to develop your foot’s natural strength and movement. Allowing you to feel the ground under your feet.
Cramming our feet in a modern shoe – cushioned, narrow and rigid – negates its natural strength and function.
Our feet are our foundation, they need to be strong and supple.
And they’re not only good for your feet, they’re ideal for strength training.
Not having big chunky soles, means they provide a good stable base which is especially important if you’re lifting heavy weights.
Running shoes are great for running, but VIVOBAREFOOT are the way forward when it come to any other training in my opinion.
