Starting your fitness journey? Elloise shares her top tips!

Here at EHPlabs, we are immensely proud to have helped MILLIONS OF PEOPLE reach their health & fitness goals.

Elloise is one of those incredible individuals, who embarked on a journey filled with passion, hard work and dedication.

Elloise started her journey back in 2018, weighing 107kg. After losing 30kg by 2019, Elloise not only dropped the weight, but learned how to love her body and appreciate fitness for the empowerment it gave her. Now, Elloise wants to help empower others and be a role model to those in her community trying to lead a healthier and happier life.⁣⁠

After learning a number of things along the way, Elloise shares her advice for anyone starting their fitness journey!

Take it slow and steady, it’s not a race. 

Your journey will be a rollercoaster. You will have bad days, miss a workout or not stick to your meal plan here and there- and that’s okay. Progress takes time and requires consistency over the long term, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Do what you enjoy

There are so many different ways to exercise and meal plans you can follow. You don’t have to stick to a restrictive diet to reach your goals and it's important to find something that works for you. Your health and fitness journey may be challenging at times, but it should also be enjoyable, so you can actually stick to it.

Don’t compare your journey to others

Comparison is the thief of joy. Everyone is different and will progress differently. In the fitness industry, there are so many people with lean physiques and it may seem like they live the perfect life. The truth is, you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone. Why? Because we’re all amazing in our own way. Find that part of you and embrace it instead of trying to be like someone else.

Choose your supplements. 

Elloise often gets asked what supplements she recommends for anyone starting out. It can get overwhelming to decide what to include and why, so here are her top recommendations and favourite flavours from EHPlabs!

Oxyshred Ultra Concentration

OxyShred assists with shredding, supports immunity and provides a natural boost of energy. Cosmic Blast and Kiwi Strawberry are Elloise’s go to flavours. Unlike most pre-workouts, it doesn’t give you any jitters, itchiness, anxiety or a post-peak crash. Oxyshred helped Elloise power through her workouts whilst feeling great!

“I would think to myself that if I take Oxyshred I can even do just 10 minutes, but once I had it, it gave me the energy to finish an entire workout!”

OxyShred Non-Stim

When Elloise trains later in the day, she takes Oxyshred Non-Stim, which has the same benefits as Oxyshred Ultra Concentration without the caffeine - perfect for late night trainers or those sensitive to caffeine.

OxyWhey

For optimal muscle growth and recovery benefits. Vanilla Ice-Cream is her go to flavour which tastes amazing as a post-workout shake on its own, or can be added into any sweet recipes like pancakes, oats and smoothies. OxyWhey is a protein blend which assists with lean muscle development and weight management. It also contains Chromium to assist with appetite control and digestive enzymes to deliver all the benefits of protein, without the gas, bloating and discomfort.

Beyond BCAA + EAA

The perfect pre, during or post workout drink for optimal performance and recovery benefits. Beyond BCAA+EAA contains the essential amino acids which play an essential role in muscular endurance, recovery and help delay fatigue. It also contains Senactiv which works to promote energy and muscle preservation. In addition, Tyrosine and Huperzine-A are included for memory, focus and coordination benefits to help crush every gym session.

Elloise feels empowered and inspired to be a part of the EHPlabs community and hopes her message can reach others to help them feel the same!
