each new year, Gabs says there are some<br />
‘trends’ that simply never go out of style.<br />
“We believe in viewing health as ‘multilayered’.<br />
Going to gym and lifting weights<br />
or going for a run every day doesn’t make<br />
you healthy. Health comprises many<br />
aspects in our lives and we don’t only need<br />
to work our physical body, but our mental<br />
and emotional sides too.”<br />
She says it’s important for people to view<br />
movement and exercise as a lifestyle, rather<br />
than an obligation or punishment. And<br />
likewise, with food. “We view food as fuel.<br />
It should never be restricted or associated<br />
with feelings linked to guilt and shame. If<br />
you are moving your body on a consistent<br />
basis, then why wouldn’t you want to fuel<br />
it with wholesome, nutritious foods? The<br />
brain and gut work together and, therefore,<br />
what you put into your body will directly<br />
influence things like your mood and<br />
energy and concentration levels.”<br />
Gabs and Mel believe that in the year<br />
ahead more and more people will start<br />
looking for smaller gyms and studios<br />
that they truly resonate with and that will<br />
ultimately become their ‘home away from<br />
home’. “If you find yourself in the right<br />
space, with the right people, moving your<br />
body is never seen to be a ‘chore’.”<br />
New year, new goals<br />
When it comes to new starts and new year’s resolutions, Gabs says the<br />
biggest mistake most people make is setting unrealistic goals. “People often<br />
come in way too hot and give themselves complicated training and eating<br />
schedules. Start slow. If you want something to be a long term change it<br />
needs to be achievable daily.” The other mistake, she says, is giving up too<br />
soon. “People are often impatient and, when they don’t see immediate<br />
results, they fall back into their unhealthy habits. Be gentle on yourself.<br />
Results are usual slow and steady and as long as you stay consistent, they<br />
will come.” Details: IG @reset_collective<br />
