Fitter for Good Online Coaching

My online client Geoff 👏🏼 12 weeks in and still more to go...

Almost 2 stone off at this point with only 3 workouts per week, now we have added in a couple of home workouts.

Geoff has a busy work and family life with his son, and he’s also getting married soon which is why he came on board with the online coaching program 🎉

He is also helping set up a family business in his free time, AND he has also been on an all inclusive holiday during this 12 weeks.

He is still on around 2500kcal per day which is the lowest target we’ve set for him until this point; so not too low.

Really happy with the way things are going for him 👏🏼

The right guidance + consistency = results

Do you find yourself saying you’re going to get in shape, but you never do?

Do you convince yourself you know what you’re doing but fall short of your plans each and every time?

Go to the gym more and eat better, right?

If only it were that simple, everybody would be in shape.

There would be no need for people to spend years studying to become nutritionists.

No need for people to qualify to become personal trainers and so on...

I’ve personally been studying nutrition and exercise and implementing what I have learned for around 7 years, and I’m still learning more every year.

Yet the most common thing I hear from people who never get results year on year is, “I know how to do it myself; I just need to get back into it”.

One thing I notice about people who have succeeded in losing muscle or building fat is that they have the “I’ve got a lot to learn mindset”, and they put their trust in someone who lives and breathes fitness and they follow the instructions.

Do you know what to do when progress stalls? Because it will, and this is where most people fall off.

If you aren’t making progress, do you know why?

Did you know that most diets fail, and people end up back at square one or WORSE OFF than when they started?

Do you know how to avoid that?

Do you know how to make fat loss/ building muscle easy?

A coach does.

Do you trust yourself to do it on your own?

Or would checking in with someone regularly be the push you need to get things done?

Save yourself time and hassle and invest in your health and fitness; it will positively impact every part of your life.

This isn’t an ad for my online coaching program; it can be an investment in books on training and nutrition.

An investment of time to find the correct information and learn it.

You can hire another coach; it doesn’t need to be me.

But the important thing is that you start to make progress instead of staying in the same place year on year.

You’ll thank yourself for it 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Here’s a few of the tips I apply myself and which I recommend to clients when motivation is low

📞 I first got on a call with Paul at the beginning of January...

Right away, I got the impression that he was serious about changing his life around, and I couldn’t wait to help him out.

Paul wasn’t very active before joining our 12-week online coaching program, and his eating habits weren’t great either.

I knew that it would be a bad idea to make this journey difficult for Paul with 5 + workouts per week and a strict diet plan (That would actually be a bad idea for most people)

My approach with clients is to make fitness fun; when you enjoy your fitness routine, you’ll do it for longer and get better results.

This means not being overly restrictive with food and starting off with a workout routine that’s enjoyable and which fits around your schedule.

In just a few weeks, Paul became a gym addict 😄💪🏼

The results he was getting every week gave him a massive boost in motivation, and the gym became a second home for him to where he now can’t imagine a life without being active.

He has discovered that with the right strategies and guidance, getting in shape isn’t actually that difficult.

Paul is now around 17kg down from when he started and he is still going strong 👏🏼

What an achievement. You should be proud of yourself! It has been a pleasure working with you mate, I’m looking forward to the end result 🙌🏼

You Have To Look Bad Before You Can Look Good

The past 2 years, I have sacrificed having visible abs, being lean, my personal brand on social media (because no one is interested unless you’re shredded), and I’ve had to live with putting a lot of weight on even around my face which would bother a lot of people including myself.

People usually have someone they are inspired by and would like to look like in terms of a physique.

Usually, their strategy to look like that person is a 12-16 week plan, when the reality is that anyone who is in good shape takes years to get there.

The best example of this is people who yo-yo diet (probably more than half of the population).

These people often end up struggling to lose weight even on very low calories and with A LOT of exercise.

They get in that position because they repeat these short term strategies over and over again.

What they need to do is forget their fat loss goals and focus on sorting out their metabolism by spending months (sometimes over a year) INCREASING their calorie intake.

This is what I had to do.

My maintenance calories in 2019 were 1800 calories per day, and I was training twice per day.

I would have probably had to drop down to 1500-1600 to continue to lose any more body fat.

Now, I can maintain my weight on 4000 calories, and I would lose weight eating 3500 calories per day.

I have made it easy for myself to lose fat because I have spent a long time NOT dieting.

I was able to do this because I knew that in order to bring the best physique I’ve ever had come September, I had to look worse before I look better

This requires a long term approach 💪🏼

I come across this issue with around 20% of people that either come to me for coaching or come to me for advice.

And most of the time, it is women that struggle with this the most.

I believe that one of the main reasons for this is that men often go through a “bulking phase”, whereas women tend to either diet or go into a calorie deficit and then back up to maintenance continuously.

Women associate “bulking” with getting fat or becoming overly muscular. But women should follow the same approach that men do. Bulking doesn’t mean getting fat or bulky; it just means increasing your calorie intake over maintenance.

You can pretty much maintain your shape while doing this.

Here’s the best piece of advice I can give to anyone who spends years dieting without much long term success...

Spend more time on maintenance calories or in a slight calorie surplus than you do dieting throughout the year.

If you don’t, you’ll be in a vicious cycle of unsuccessful fat loss attempts and a lot of fat gain.
