Nobody talks about the TRUE value of accountability.

Accountable to what though?
Accountable to your goals
Accountable to your dreams
Accountable to your sessions 
Accountable to your progress 
Accountable to your nutrition 
Accountable to your mindset 
Accountable to your self-celebrations 

Accountability is not just a text message "keep going"

Accountability is ensuring that the plan can change, that you are
support and the end goal get's reached 

Accountability is learning what approach works best and making it easier for you through training and coaching

You know what to do!

Message me "Accountable" to get the support you deserve and the outcomes you desire

What I Do It For - Moments like these

I've not always had a life like this, I used to overwork and under prioritise time like this

My relationship with myself is not one built on a bed of comparisons

I no longer feel guilt with the foods I eat and the training sessions I miss

Yes. I, as a health and fitness professional, eat fast food and miss training sessions 
And you know what, it's okay

I realised my high standards for myself were too high and brought them down, so I could be HAPPY AND HEALTHY

This is what I put into my coaching

I encourage hard work and great results but I don't ask for the impossible or berate you when life happens

Life is supposed to happen, a healthy body and healthy mind will make it easier

Easier to enjoy the good times
Easier to cope in the bad

6 Red Flags in Fitness

We are going to review every aspect of fitness in these 6 red flags

Buckle up cause we are going on an adventure
🚩 If it hurts - this is a fine line, but if you are experiencing consistent and persistent pain then STOP. No Pain No Gain is nonsense. If you do experience consistent pain where you shouldn't, see a physio, it shouldn't be normalised 
🚩 Pre-workout and Energy Drinks - Caffeine is an amazing supplement but don't get it WRONG. I see this all the time, people drinking their caffeinated beverage throughout their session. It takes 30-40 minutes to absorb. You won't feel it until AFTER your session
🚩 All the gear NO idea - this mainly refers to belt-wears. If you don't know what it's for, don't wear one. And if you think you need one, learn what it's for. And get one that isn't thin at the front and thick at the back... IYKYK!
🚩 Wearing hoodies to "sweat" - this makes no sense. Sweating doesn't indicate hard work, it indicates HEAT. I bet you didn't know that you burn more fat when you're cold than when you are hot. Your body has to use energy to keep your body temperature up. When you sweat you just dehydrate and make it harder for yourself to perform
🚩 Pump covers - Why? To hide your body until you have a pump? Does this not create a social narrative that your body isn't worth as much in one condition to another? That sounds pretty unhealthy. If your baggy shirt is cool wear it, but don't do so only to hide your un-pumped body. Your body is awesome and you don't need to hide it - ever! 
🚩 HIIT isn't HIIT - You've heard the benefits of high intensity interval training, you do a HIIT class, it's going to work, right? Nope. True HIIT is maximal exercise between 10-15 seconds. Your 40s On 20s Off classes are unfortunately medium intensity...

Cold motivation for us all! 

It's this time of year when the Christmas Markets come out, the tree goes up and the box of chocolates come out

It is often the time when motivation is at it's lowest and social occasions rise

Will it come to Jan 1st and your resolutions start again?

I'd bet they'd start with no momentum, foundations or plan? 

Sound about right? 

There's still 4.5 weeks till Christmas day and 6 weeks till the new year

This is IDEAL foundation building phase! 

Gain yourself some momentum and rather than starting the new year with nothing but a wish

Then you will start appreciating the warm of summer and the work of winter

If you're unsure where to start, drop me a DM and I'll point you in the right direction

Becoming THEM - A view point you didn't know you needed

Who is best the version of you? The person you deep down wish you could be? 
and how on earth do you become them?

Think about Them - every positive action that you make brings Them closer to reality
But you need to want to be them

Visualisation of what that looks like can be immeasurably powerful
Maybe that's a previous version of you or someone you aspire to be like

Stop thinking about that version of you as past or as someone else
And start thinking about them as the future you

A version of your future that you can attain, achieve and acquire. 
Picture THEM and go after that goal

What habits do they do that you should adopt? 

What routine do they live by? 

Slowly but surely as you live like Them

You become Them

If you needed to hear this today, it's likely someone else does too
Share this post with them and let's all become our best selves
