1. MINDSET – Are you ready to
change your story?
Mindset is everything. But, it is often the area that is neglected and a reason why many
people struggle to gain control and be consistent with their health and fitness; to live
the life that leads you on the path to be your best version.
Our brain is like an unsupervised child and requires our daily attention or it will run
wild. We need to have the ability to bring our thoughts back to focus and direct our
mind where we want it to go. So, if you are sick and tired of the rollercoaster ride of
diet and exercise, lacking confidence or feeling out of control, get prepared to change
your story. It’s starts with you. And your Mindset.
We all have a story. In fact, we have many stories that make up who we are and how
we present ourselves to the world. Our stories are created unconsciously, generally
from an early age where we are influenced by our parents, teachers and environment.
We adopt these thoughts and behaviours which then become our beliefs, our identity,
our self- image. For example, if you were always told that you were not smart, you may
have grown up believing that you simply were not intelligent so it stopped you from
going to Uni, or going for the job interview you really want, or putting your hand up for
that major promotion, all because your self-belief was coming from a place that you
‘just were not smart enough’.
Another example might be that you were always told that you were not good at sport
and so you never tried out for that netball, basketball or soccer team, let alone any
dance audition. All because you had a limiting belief that you wouldn’t be good at any
type of exercise. It’s that ‘little voice’ that makes you question yourself, self-sabotage,
create excuses and stops you from living life your best, healthiest life.
We’re here to focus on your Health and Fitness Story.
If you feel like you just can’t seem to stay consistent with healthy habits and your
‘story’ is having a negative impact, we need to begin by making the changes to your
‘little voice’, that create those limiting beliefs that stop us from living our best life.
The good news is, you can change these negative thought patterns and start creating
the healthy lifestyle that will enable you to believe that you truly are the Fit and Fierce
Warrior, waiting to be unleashed. This will be your New Story.
If you want to change your story, we can help. Join our members only online tribe
to get results with confidence so you can feel good and look great, and love the skin
you are in.

2. NUTRITION - What we eat and
drink impacts us physically and
emotionally
It is critical to understand what your
relationship is with food. Most of us
emotionally eat to some degree but if
you have an unhealthy relationship
then this needs to be addressed
otherwise lasting changes are difficult
to make. Many of us eat mindlessly
throughout the day without any
thought of the effect it is having on our
body.
Did you know that up to 90% of
serotonin (responsible for maintaining
mood balance) is made in the gut.
Whatever is going on in your gut is
going to affect your mood, anxiety levels, and focus.
So, if your gut is unhappy or unbalanced then there’s a good chance your mind is too.
Eating healthy nourishing foods does not have to be boring or hard, however it does
require some planning and discipline.
Whilst most ‘diets’ work for a short time, they are often not sustainable or enjoyable
and most often they do not nourish your body, mind and soul. One of the best fat loss
strategies we love is Nutritional Cleansing. It has been a complete game changer within
ourselves and so many of our clients and friends have had incredible results too.
Nutritional Cleansing involves intermittent fasting – an ancient secret of health, that
has been practiced throughout all human history. Some of the epic benefits include fat
loss, increased energy and performance, mental clarity, improved sleep, reduced
inflammation and overall health and wellness.
We are all beautifully unique and it’s important that you find out what works best for
you. It can be hard to do this on your own. We have a wealth of knowledge and we’ve
got your back.

3. Exercise – Move your body like
you love it!
When it comes to exercise many of us workout with a mindset to punish ourselves. If
your thoughts around exercise are negative, it’s fair to say that it will be the exact
experience you will have. It’s all about having a positive mindset and perspective. Here
at Urban Warriors we see exercise as a gift. We are grateful that we have the
opportunity to move our bodies and in return feel the amazing benefits.
We believe you can find a way to move your body that makes you happy. It doesn’t
have to be hard and it doesn’t have to be in the gym. There are so many options. Focus
on the good stuff and think about the gains both physically and mentally. Nothing beats
that natural endorphin high from moving your body like you love it! Changing your
Mindset can change your life!

We have helped hundreds of people on their
Health and Fitness Transformation Journey and
90% come to us wanting fat loss. When it comes to
training for fat loss, metabolic training is your
friend. We will help you build a foundation of
strength and fitness to become a warrior with a fit
body and fierce mind.
Metabolic training is high intensity training using a
combination of weights and cardio. Let’s break it
down:
Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) - Involves
completing your weights in a superset format,
(doing two exercises one after the other with no rest in between) or in a circuit format
(numerous exercises in a row with little to no rest). This type of training really gets
your heart pumping and burns loads of energy (calories). You can use a variety of
equipment including dumbbells, barbells, kettle bells, battle ropes, resistance bands,
sleds and of course your own body weight.
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) – is short bursts of cardio at a high intensity.
This can include sprints, hill sprints, skipping, stairs or using equipment or machines
such as the rowing machine, treadmill, elliptical, bike etc.
Combining these two strategies into one workout is the most time efficient way to
exercise and quite simply phenomenal for fat burning.
The key to Metabolic training is working at intensity. The harder you work the more fat
you will burn. You must get out of your comfort zone. A good indication is if you are
unable to hold a conversation or you can give yourself a score out of 10, you want to
be working at 7 or higher. Depending on your fitness level we recommend 3-4 sessions
per week at 30 -45mins.
And let’s not forget the importance of Incidental Fitness. Most people get stuck sitting
at their desk in front of a computer all day which is not helpful for your fat loss mission.
If you can relate then it’s time to make the effort to step it up a notch and start taking
the stairs or getting off the bus/train a stop earlier than you usually would and walk
that extra bit further to work or home. Aim for a minimum 10,000 steps each day.

4. The Importance of Water – The
elixir of life
Water makes up an incredible 70 – 75% of human body weight and is vital for our body
to function.
Our liver is our major fat burning organ. It must be hydrated at all times to function
optimally. Every system in your body depends on water. Water flushes toxins out of our
vital organs and carries nutrients to our cells.
Water is not only a natural appetite suppressant, but it actually helps the
body metabolise stored fat. Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration,
urine and bowel movements. For your body to function at its best you must replenish
its water supply. A good sign to tell if you’re hydrated is by the colour of your urine.
Water should be 80 -90% of your daily fluid intake. 2 – 4litres per day is ideal.

5. Consistency – “Success is the
sum of small efforts repeated
day in and day out”
Consistency is King. For long term success in any endeavour you must be consistent.
Speak to any high achiever, that being an athlete or business person and they will tell
you that talent won’t get you far without consistency. You must be prepared for the
daily process if you are serious about being successful
Consistency with clean eating and daily exercise will soon become a habit and part of
your daily routine, a part of who you are and what you do, and soon you won’t have to
think about it, it will be automatic. You will get to a point where you can’t imagine
your life without it.

There will be times you might miss a workout or two and maybe stray away from your
healthy eating plan. You’re only human. Life is about balance and enjoying little
indulgences along the way, but it’s so important to get back on track, don’t beat
yourself up over one bad meal or big night out.
Never give up on yourself or your goal.
Stay focused and celebrate seeing small changes as you go along your journey. This will
help motivate and inspire you to stay on track and be the best version of you and in
return look back on what you have achieved and feel proud and accomplished.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an
act but a habit”
Aristotle

6. support – Surround yourself
with those who see the
greatness within you.
Change can be tough if you’re on the journey alone. Anytime we step outside of our
comfort zone we will face challenges and obstacles that will try and stop us from moving
forward. That nagging little voice in the back of your head will at some point try and
weaken you, telling you it’s not worth it, making excuses for you, trying to get you back
into your old habits that are no longer serving you.
The consistent daily motivation, love and support in our members only online tribe is
where results happen. We have witnessed the epic energy which creates an abundance
of confidence and self-love, lifting each other up and we love seeing our warriors shine.
