GETTING YOU
STARTED

  • Healthy Nutrition Choices:
  • Before you start

Keep in mind, 80% of the abs is made in the kitchen! The right nutrition is a major point in achieving your desired results!

  • ALCOHOL! Try to stay away from alcohol during this time in order to see and feel the fastest progress.  
  • WATER! Try to drink 8 – 10 glasses or at least 2 litres of water per day.  To spice it up, add mint, lemon or fruit to your water. 
  • PROTEIN! Protein will not only support your muscle growth and recovery, it is also very satisfying and keeps you fuller for longer.  
  • CARBOHYDRATES! Don’t cut out carbs. Your body needs them for energy and muscle recovery. Overall you should reduce calories in order to lose weight, but don’t totally cut out any macro-nutrient group. 
  • FATS! Fats are high in calories and should therefore be reduced in the toning program. However, healthy fats are essential for balancing hormones, assisting in vitamin absorption, and brain functioning. 
  • Avoid LATE NIGHT SNACKING! Stopping eating 2-3 hours before going to bed enhances digestion and allows for a more restful sleep. Often, the snack choices we make late at night are fattier and higher calorie options, so avoiding those makes a huge difference. 
  • Avoid PROCESSED FOODS! Not only are they often times higher in calories but, due to their little nutritional value, you will feel less satisfied and get hungry faster.  

If you are unsure of what vitamins your body absorbs the best, the DALUMA Food Reaction & Metabolism Testing Kit can help you to determine what nutrients your body needs! 

If you want to find out more about your personal disposition in food tolerances and metabolism, nutrition levels or stress hormones in order to optimize your results, you can run laboratory analysis with DALUMA’s test kits.

YOUR WAY TO GET THERE

  • Workout Tips
  • Learn more about Hermione
  • Consistency and patience is key!

It takes time to adjust to a new lifestyle with new habits. But when you keep going, inspire and motivate yourself and really believe that you will feel and look your best, your patience will be rewarded

  • Find yourself a workout buddy!  

Whenever your in need of some extra motivation a training buddy is perfect and makes you even more accountable. Work out together, cook and share a delicious meal and talk about your achievements.

  • Mind body connection! 

To get most out of the muscle you are trying to work, really engaging your mind to yourbody during the workout is a helpful tool. If you want to lean out, picture your muscles getting tighter and your fat burning. 

  • Recording and adjusting your weights! 

With your strength and endurance increasing the repetitions and tempo you performed the exercises in in the beginning will not suffice to challenge you. However, don’t overestimate yourself and slowly, steadily adjust the weight according to your ability. Form is what matters most! 

  • Muscle activation before the workout! 

If you don’t ‘feel’ your muscle as well as you would like to during the exercises, activating them with a few movements before you start the workout is very helpful. This can be, grabbing a resistance band or light weights and focusing on which muscle you are about to train. Stretching is another great approach to prepare your body for the workout.
