Nutrition - 💡 tips of the day: cook in bulk! When preparing your meal try to cook in bulk so you can have a vision of your week meals! It will spare you some precious time. You can cook all your meat in one oven, all your soup with one big pot. Don't hesitate to froze it so you can use it through the week! #crossfit #fitlife #quality #food #healthy #improvement #tipsoftheday #thebusycrossfitter #motivation #healthyfood #soup #winterfood #bulk #stong #tasty #muscles #crossfitfamily #crossfitfrance (à Villefranche-sur-Saône) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BTIB_oIyV/?igshid=1ikt7o3utd9sm

Training - 💡 tips of the day: don't keep doing the same things. Re-invent your training and you approach. You need to spice up your training in order to stay motivated! Getting bored while you train is a path to failure. Spice things up by adding fun stuff.

Mindset - 💡tips of the day: surround yourself with some positive people. This might sound ridiculous 🤯 but in your life if you are surrounded by people criticizing you, putting you down all the time it will shadow your potential and play on your mental health. Find people that challenge you to become your better self. Someone that won't let mediocrity settled. Even when it's hard for you to hear their feedback it will always be useful.

Nutrition - 💡 tips of the day: be focus on your overall daily intake rather than nutrition timing. As we become more and more aware of our nutrition we are learning new technics to improve our diet. But don't forget the basic principles. Reach your macros daily instead of focusing on timing. I am not saying timing is a bad thing, not at all! All I am saying is don't lose sight of what matter the most. Pictured a beautiful spoon of peanut butter! 😋 As people often react, yes this is mainly fats, but what they don't know that fats can be healthy! Source for the right fats!!! I use a peanut only butter with zero added stuff. Only peanut🥜! And I love the crunchy style!😍 Be mindful, be focus but not too narrow. Crush those goals! #crossfit #fitlife #fitgirl #motivation #peanutbutter #healthy #improvement #tipsoftheday #healthyfood #crossfitfamily #thebusycrossfitter #eat #foodporn #peanuts #eatlikeyoucare #tips #healthyfat #nutrition #stong #selfmade #mindset #mindful (à Peanut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B55U-Kmo5E2/?igshid=1ve0ockorwmg3

Equipment - 💡 tips of the day: don't underestimate the importance to have the right tool to train. I am lucky to have found @fitandrack for the supply of all my tools at home and at work. First, they are great guys and that's always nice, second their equipment is sick! Look at that KB! 😍 Buying some cheap stuff will not benefit you in the long term, try to find some supplier near you with quality product. Did I mentioned that they are french? 🇨🇵 And very close from Lyon? Check their website, you will find anything you need. https://www.fitandrack.eu/ From rack to sandbag to jump rope to flooring to KB and DB to so much more!

Training - 💡tips of the day: set a goal Setting a goal will help you stay motivated and will highlight your weaknesses. As it is very common to stay in your comfort zone the greatness is not build there. Being part of a competition, online or not will spot your flaws. It will push you outside your comfort zone for greater improvement. This is not easy, this not comfortable but this is useful. It will also increase your motivation daily. Working toward a goal is making steps and it's rewarding. Take a step. Even a baby step but take it. It is worth it.👣 🏋️‍♀️Today's wod is 18.0 : 21-15-9 DB snatch Burpees over DB Time: 4'16 Give it a try and comment your score!!💪 #crossfit #competiton #crossfitfamily #crossfitfrance #lift #barbell #fitlife #fitgirl #Thebusycrossfitter #improvement #goal #steps #crossfitcompetition #open2018 #18.0 #snatch #liftheavy #stronggirl #motivation #tipsoftheday (à Overhead Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5pzw2pox5F/?igshid=dgpvnk7doylg

Mindset - 💡 tips of the day: be communicative with your family/friends and colleagues. This sounds easy but it is not. You should avoid to go your own way without including you loved ones. Sometimes we don't see how the fact that we change our lives with sport and nutrition and how this affect our family circle. We modify our nutrition and this not only affect us. And we need to be aware of this. Keep the dialogue open, talk about what you change, what you expect. You are often part of a group don't exclude yourself or the other. #crossfit #crossfitfamily #stretch #crossfitfrance #accountable #improvement #healthy #fitlife #healthyfood #mindset #motivation #nutrition #communication #family #thebusycrossfitter #tipsoftheday #tips (à The Stretch) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5n5qj1IURl/?igshid=d0e9jboqgrnv

Nutrition - 💡 tips of the day: make your food enjoyable! You eat with you eyes first! That sound kinda silly but you do. You see your food and this creates some reaction whether you like what you see or not. Having a pretty plate have multiples positive effects : 1- you will have to create a pretty plate and therefore will be paying more attention on what you put in. 🍲 2- you will eat slower as you need to rearrange with your knife and fork🍴 3- you will feel proud and happy about yourself as a real chef 👩‍🍳 4- it's pretty! And will open your stomach for quality enjoyable food. I hate spinach but when it is pretty presented I am more willing to make an effort!! 😂 Treat yourself like a guest. You deserve a nice plate prepared with care. If you don't take care of yourself everyday who will do it? Start with this in mind! 🤓 📧 Send me some salade recipes, this is my addiction!!! This one is with chicken breast, eggs and guacamole... So damn perfect! #crossfit #crossfitgirls #crossfitfood #healthymeal #salad #foodporn #food #eatlikeyoucare #eat #healthy #improvement #tipsoftheday #thebusycrossfitter #motivation #nutrition #riseandshine #loveyourfood #crossfitfamily #crossfitfrance #accountable #strong #health (à Salad Factory) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ktv7fIxBY/?igshid=7st21z4bw9jf

Training - 💡 tips of the day: be an example for your kids and don't hesitate to create some kind of parkour wod like for them! Training is an essential part of my life and I want my kids to know that it's important to stay active. I am fortunate to have some tools at home so they can play while I train. Most of the time they get so excited that they cheer me up so loud that I get super hyped!😂💪 Being a CrossFit family is part of the core values I want to teach them in order for them to be mindful about their body. Don't hesitate to share your fitness around you. This will brings you so much more ( and yes sometimes chaos!!🤣) #crossfit #crossfitkid #crossfitfamily #crossfitfrance #strong #fitfamily #thebusycrossfitter #improvement #model #biggestfan #motivation #family #fitlife #healthy #health #fitness #squatyoursquad #kid #twins #twinspower #tipsoftheday #tips #love (à I love My Family) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5fnTIrIZlz/?igshid=fxhcdys2hjaw

Mindset - 💡 tips of the day: Use the abondance of books and technology to educate yourself. Learning is power. You know that. We are living at a time where the information is so easily available to us. We need to take the advantage of it. I love to read, to take a book and simply emerge myself in it. To take a deep fall into the pages is an awesome feeling. I recommend this book as it will focus mainly on mindset and the importance of having a growth mindset compare to a fixed mindset. Go get it. For real. #crossfit #fitlife #read #book #mindset #motivation #crossfitfamily #growth #evolution #improvement #learning #strong #health #power #thebusycrossfitter #crossfitter #livingthedream (à READ books) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dCmxaoZdo/?igshid=113ti18djg533

Nutrition - 💡 tips of the day: Always be prepared. On nutrition the main common things when it comes to success is to be prepared. So how do I get prepared you may ask? By having quality food always in arm reach. Let take an example: you are in the office and it's the third time this week someone bring a cake in the open space. And it's a cookie chocolate cake, your favorite! 🍪 You can smell it from your desk it's excruciating. But you have been super with your nutrition lately and you don't want to give up. But it is so tempting and you start feeling hungry! Two solutions at this point: 1- you go and eat a piece of it because that what you really want and eating healthy sux! 😖😂😉 2- you are prepared and you have some fruits and nuts with you that you eat slowly and you feel satisfied 🍎🥜 🙂 The choice is up to you and you only but when it comes to food being prepared will help you prevent the drama in your head whether you will go for a slice or not. 🤯 For me I'm being prepared at home with some cool beverage like @noccofrance and @fitaid. I am madly in love with these and it makes my choices so much easier! Without being separated from the social event/group. Be prepared my friends. Be prepared that's the key! 😉👍 #crossfit #fitlife #healthyfood #beprepared #crossfitfamily #beverage #nocco #bcaa #motivation #focus #nutrition #thebusycrossfitter #improvement #vegetables #nutsandseed #consistent #crossfitfrance #strong #beautiful #social #stayontrack (à Over The Rainbow) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5aaAIIoemj/?igshid=1e8emy4r8kacd

Training - 💡tips of the day: don't focus on the way your body looks but much more on how it feels. In CrossFit your body is a tool not a goal on itself. It's a mean to improve your performance, to achieve your Wod and your long term goal. I come from bodybuilding and I used to think that how my body looked like was the point, that I need exercise to build it. But I discovered a new landscape in Crossfit. I see now my body as a mean to accomplish my goals of performance. This has really transformed me.

Mindset - 💡Tips of the day: be accountable. Be transparent about what you are engaged in. In order to stay on track you need to be fully transparent. Even vulnerable. Whether you decide to go public or you just decide to be accountable to yourself. For example: be accountable with your nutrition is to meticulously dial in your every meal in your logbook ( Fitbit, Myfitnesspal...) For me being transparent in public is a tough call but will help me stay focus and motivated on the long run. This is my result on the open 2020 in the Rx division. I feel not satisfied about this score as I feel that I can do so much better. This is actually the start of my new vision as a CrossFit Athlete who wants to compete. With family and work I was reluctant to compete, but these numbers opened my eyes as I know this is really what I want to do. Next step is the @frenchthrowdown 2020 🏋️‍♀️. This is me being transparent. Being accountable. This is me being open with you. This is tough 😖 but this is progress 👍. Share your goals with other or write it down for yourself. Don't hesitate this will help you in the long term!!! #crossfit #thefrenchthrowdown #competiton #athelete #strong #improvement #result #fitlife #healthy #model #crossfitfamily #setexample #crossfitfrance #accountable #tips #Thebusycrossfitter #goal #fitgirl #motivation #open2020 #focus (à Villefranche-sur-Saône) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VO5Z2opwM/?igshid=7tzt80d889g5

Nutrition - 💡Tips of the day: be flexible with your nutrition. Don't overthink everything. I used to struggle with my nutrition ( polite way to say that I had a eating disorder where I binged on cheat days 🤢) but I learned that I need to stop overthinking. Easier said than done you might say. And you are right. Knowing what your body need and trusting the process is very important but takes time. I advise you surround yourself with professional and do a lot of reading to understand how this works. 🤓 This post is also to remind you that you can enjoy crappy food sometimes. There shouldn't be any judgment on yourself. You enjoy, you keep going with your goal. This is not a setback at all. This is a great social moment where you can live and laugh. Don't underestimate this value on your overall health. This is important. I will continue to post some stories and tips on nutrition as I think this is what stress most of us. Keep going, keep learning and keep enjoying! #crossfit #crappyfood #foodporn #nojudgment #healthy #sport #fitness #cheatmeal #cheatdays #mcdonalds #hamburgersarelife #thebusycrossfitter #crossfitfamily #eatlikeyoucare #eatinghabits #zonediet #notvegan #flexibility (à Lyon, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Sqkq5I7iy/?igshid=1g9risdkl7vtp

Training - 💡Tips of the day: practice your movements as a master of your craft. Spend hours and hours to perfect your body position. This will prevent any injuries caused by bad posture. And will help you on the long run to be stronger and faster. Watch some professional videos and tape yourself to be able to identify your weaknesses. Be patient. Extremely patient as it is not the best part of training but the most useful!! Perfect takes time and practice. 😉 #practice #crossfit #crossfitfamily #crossfitfrance #squat #workout #training #thebusycrossfitter #improvement #perfect #patience #hwpo #naturetraining #fitlife #fitgirl #stong #muscle #stonger #crossfitter (à Gleizé, Rhone-Alpes, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5NoBP1oQoY/?igshid=2fy1t3ow0y18

Mindset - 💡 Tips of the day: learn as much as you can on the field you are intrested in. Keep a open mind so you can learn new interesting things. Yesterday night was a @netflixfr night by myself. I spotted this documentary and played it on while training. I was not caring about it much but few minutes later some words caught up my attention. Such as #plantbaseddiet 🥦 #improvingperformance and I got stuck to it. I learn a ton, some useful information that I need now to double check ( of course) 🤓. But I recommend you watch it. Please let me know what you think. And all the plant based 🌽🥬🥑 crossfitter out there please message me I am really intrested and intrigued in your experience. I want to learn more!!!📚🤓 #crossfit #vegan #crossfitfamily #mindful #thebusycrossfitter #motivation #diet #food #plantdiet #fitlife #health #plants #nature #vegancrossfitter #athlete #muscles #netflix #research #improvement #vegetables #nutsandseed (à Villefranche-sur-Saône) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5K99lpooN7/?igshid=xig8uidujcd1
