🔥 The pursuit of leanness: a double-edged sword. Let's talk about what it takes to get lean and the negative impacts on your life. 📢

Since all you'll hear or see is pictures of oiled up instagram models at a photoshoot - here's some insight into what it takes to get dick-skin levels of body fat and why it's Not Really Worth It

1️⃣ Caloric Deficit: To achieve leanness, a caloric deficit is required. This means consuming fewer calories than your body needs, which can lead to feelings of hunger and restriction. You'll feel low energy, unproductive and definitely weaker in the gym.

2️⃣ Increased Focus and Discipline: Getting lean requires discipline, dedication, and a laser focus on nutrition and exercise. This level of commitment can sometimes lead to obsessiveness, anxiety, and a preoccupation with food and body image.

3️⃣ Social Impact: Striving for leanness may impact your social life. Social events can revolve around food, making it challenging to adhere to strict dietary guidelines. You'll find yourself saying no to social events, because it's hard to track what's on the menu.

4️⃣ Emotional Well-being: Constantly pursuing leanness can take a toll on your emotional well-being. It may lead to negative self-talk, body dysmorphia and a distorted perception of self-worth.

5️⃣ Individual Differences: Each person's body is unique, and what it takes to achieve leanness can vary greatly. Comparing yourself to oiled up Instagram models can leave you feeling terrible. So, embrace your own journey and focus on self-improvement, not comparison.

So if you, or someone you know, is stuck on the perpetual, seemingly endless journey for the elusive abs...

Simply ask yourself, is it worth it?

For me, quite lean with freedom and a good social life is FAR better than really lean with a s**t life. Just some food for thought 🧠

Lovely review from my long term client Divya 🙌🏻

Someone who always works hard in her sessions and is willing to push herself with whatever I put in front of her! 💪🏻

I've been neglecting the Facebook group recently, mostly posting reels on IG which don't seem to come across 🤷‍♂️

So I'm going to become more active over the next few weeks.

I'll post training and nutrition advice and pretty much anything else you guys want to see!

Fun to escape rainy Melbourne for a few weeks 🙌🏻 but I’ll be back to business on Wednesday…

I hope everyone is ready! 💪🏻

Just to prove to you guys that I actually work out too 💪🏻😂
