The BIG GOAL you are chasing is a byproduct of being consistent with the smaller steps!

When I ask someone what their goal is I normally get a response along the lines of:

➡️I want to deadlift double my body weight
➡️I want to lose 10kg’s
➡️I want to run a sub 20 minute 5k.

The mistake most make when chasing their goal is to only think of the big picture..

Let’s take the 5k as an example.

Before you can run a 5k in under 20 minutes, you first need to be able to run for 20 minutes non stop, right?

You also need to be able to run 1k in 4 minutes or less..

So, how do you break that down once you’ve decided on your goal?

1 - Assess your current position (Be honest, don’t BS yourself)

2 - Identify what steps and behaviours are necessary for your desired goal.

3 - Incorporate those new steps and behaviours into your daily and weekly routine.

4 - Your Goal is now to do everything you can to ensure you hit the ‘smaller’ steps and behaviours you’ve identified. EVERY DAY!!

5 - Track and review your progress.

6 - Repeat.

Happy New Year!

In 2021, I was lucky enough to have quite a busy year despite lockdown etc which meant I wasn't really active on FB.

I have however been a bit more active on Instagram so if you'd like to follow me there you can find me at

Friday is a conditioning session for client Alicia.

This example looks simple, but is definitely not easy!

With weight training you train with intent, set targets and fight to achieve them.. same goes for conditioning.

The biggest issue I see most people face with their cardio/conditioning is that they don't know if they are progressing because they don't have a specific target to work towards or progressions in their conditioning program.

Here you can see Alicia's distances, this is week 1. We set her off aiming for a specific perceived effort level and then built on that each round. Now she has targets to beat next time.

Give it a go, record your times and aim to beat them next time round.

Had a wee visitor join us in the park this morning.

Every time this dog passes it comes over to say hi. We are officially pals now I think.. 👍

One of my clients home gym set up for our Zoom Training sessions.

What a great space to train!!

He definitely has a future in catalog modelling once he retires from his cricket career 😂

Post workout summary from a clients tracker this morning.

With the date for gyms opening in Scotland being put back until the 14th Sept, we still have about 6 weeks before we can get back to the gyms in Scotland.

We are frustrated that we can't get back into the gyms just yet..

But, we CAN train outdoors!

I have a couple of morning spaces up for grabs in and .

Don't be waiting around till the gyms reopen, we still can't be 100% sure of when that will be!
