Autumn Calabrese Moving Forward and Staying Strong Open Sky Fitness Podcast Rob Dionne

Autumn Calabrese: Moving Forward and Staying Strong – Ep 137

“Why would you treat your body as if you were going to get a second chance at another body. Our bodies do regenerate and heal, but the more you think about it, you realize that you get one shot at taking care of your body. We don’t get to choose the body we get and we have to treat it the best way that we can.” – Rob Dionne

Moving Forward and Staying Strong

On this week’s episode of Open Sky Fitness, I had the great opportunity to sit down and discuss with Autumn Calabrese about her life story and career as a personal fitness trainer.

Autumn Calabrese is a celebrity trainer, working mom and a best-selling author. Autumn rose to recognition by revolutionizing the Beachbody fitness model with her approachable and comprehensive portion control system.

 

How Autumn Got Back Into Shape After Her Pregnancy

 

“You’re weight loss results is 80% based on your nutrition intake.” – Autumn Calabrese

 

After Autumn gave birth to her son, she began to focus more on her nutrition to help her get back into shape. She realized that processed cereals, granola bars, and dairy were some of the items that she would have to cut from her diet. Instead she decided to turn her diet around by making minor tweaks to her nutrition intake and eating the following healthy foods:

  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Water
  • Raw nuts without salt
  • Avocados
  • Balancing other macronutrients.

 

Autumn’s Tips to Staying Motivated to Workout

  • Have somebody hold you accountable.
  • Keep your alarm away from you so that you physically have to get up to turn it off.
  • Play games in your head while you work out: Just tell yourself to do 10 minutes and before you know it, you’ll be warmed up and ready to go for the complete workout.
  • Create a playlist to listen to as you workout.
  • Treat yourself to new workout gear.

 

“The more you cook at home the more you know what’s going into your food and the more you can control how much salt, sugar etc. goes into it. That makes a whole world of difference for your nutrition.” – Autumn Calabrese
