Evolve Fitness, Health & Wellbeing

Y'know, it's about this time of year when most people start to think 'sh*t, I need to get fit for Christmas'

But let's be real for a second...

How many times have you said that in the past?

First it's 'i need to get fit for Christmas'

Then 'i need to get fit for summer'

Then it's a wedding

Or a party

And it always goes the same way right? You're super motivated to start, set unrealistic goals and start unsustainable habits, only for it all to become too much.

I know, because I work with people who do this all the time.

But think about this for a second...

Rather than going hell for leather to be 'fitter' for these one off events...

What if 'being fitter' just became part of who you were?

What if you not only found a sustainable way to get fit BUT also learned to be a bit more gentle with yourself along the way?

It doesn't take as much effort as you think, I promise you that.

In fact, the most effortful part?

Is starting.

Once you're started stuff become easy really pretty quickly.

And so if you fancy being fitter all the time, rather than just getting fit once or twice a year when you think you 'should' be doing it.

Well, maybe you should drop me a line.

Right now I have 8 spaces in my group training, 4 spaces for Boxercise and 1 space for personal training.

So if you've been waiting for a sign?

Well maybe this is it.

Serious question👇

If strength training...

🔥 Improves your balance, making you less likely to fall and break stuff...

🔥 Makes your bones stronger...

🔥 Enhances cognitive function...

🔥 Can improve outcomes in cases of chronic disease

🔥 Improves weight management

🔥 Keeps joints healthy

🔥 Improves sleep quality

Then...

Why are you still not doing it?

I cannot tell you the amount of people I meet in their 50's and 60's who say 'i wish I'd started sooner'.

Well, this is your call to start sooner.

Now, in fact.

You don't need fancy kit,
Or a swanky programme,

Just consistency and a little patience.

And if you want to speed that process up a little?

Well, you know where we are... 🔥❤️

Apparently Summer is over (booo 👎).

But your end of year fitness journey...

..is just beginning 🔥

Heading into this month, I've got:

- One last Personal training slot available
- Three Boxercise spaces available
- Group training sessions running 12 times a week with a few spaces in each session!

Right now, I'm working with a lot of clients 50+ who have decided NOW is the time to start taking their fitness seriously.

And if that's you?

And you're looking to make changes that stick?

Well, this is the sign you've been looking for.

Don't let another Monday pass you by.

Deep me a line and let's see what we can do! 🔥

Half way through another week...

For some?

It's just another week gone by where they said they'd "Start Monday" but never did (seems to be a lot of weeks like that, right?)

For others...

It's another week of workouts under the belt.

Whether it's training with the Minster Milers, coming along to the group sessions or starting a new personal training programme, you are just one 'let's do this' away from making long lasting changes to your health and fitness.

Listen.

In 4 days, it's going to be Sunday.

You know, that day where you sit down and promise yourself "I am going to START tomorrow"...

And when Monday rolls around - as it always does - you're going to face the same choice you always face...

Follow through or find an excuse.

So....

Which is it going to be?

We have some trial spaces available throughout August - if you're in a rut and need a nudge, this could be for you 👌

Trial spots are limited - once they're gone they're gone!

If you're over 40, then the following is probably true...

> You don't have a whole lot of time to yourself
> You don't feel as energetic as you did in your 30s
> Things that used to be easy, don't feel so easy anymore.

And you can look at this two ways.

👎 Number 1: You can decide that this is just 'how it goes' as you get older, light the pipe, buy a new pair of slippers and stick on another episode of the antiques roadshow...

Or

👍Number 2: You can get really honest with yourself and start to make some changes.

See, you probably think you need hours of exercise every week to get stronger and fitter.

The truth?

You probably only need to do 45 minutes, two or three times a week.

(And I KNOW you've pi**ed away at least that long on social media today 😏)

See, if you don't know what you're doing then it's easy to spend time on the wrong stuff.

And that's time wasted. Time that most of us just don't have.

And so what do you do?

You decide exercise takes too long, and start searching for some sort of magic hack. You probably buy a supplement recommended by someone in their 20's you saw on Insta-Tok and become a reseller for some super-thing-greens-nutri-shake rubbish.

Anyway, I digress.

My point is, if you know what you're doing (or work with someone - hint * hint - that does) then you can get everything you need done and dusted in 45 minutes twice a week.

And if you don't believe me?

Come and give it a try.

I dare you.

I DOUBLE dare you (which now means you HAVE to do it)

Just send me a message and this time next week you could be on your way.

Probably the most important thing about fitness for over 40s is this 👇

Consistency.

Listen, your body is losing muscle mass every year.

To counteract that, you need to be consistently exercising. I'm talking multiple times a week (at least twice)

And to be consistent, you've gotta stay injury free.

I can't tell you the number of times I've seen someone overdo it in the gym, injure themselves and then be out of action for a month, only to get straight back to it and injure themselves.

It's madness.

It's also really annoying for you, as you never get any momentum going.

It's one of the reasons I set my weekly coaching up to be challenging but manageable.

Because over time, doing 2 or 3 manageable sessions every single week beats doing one mental session and then having to have a couple of weeks off to recover.

Consistency will always win in the long term.

And if you're struggling with it and want some support?

Well...

You know what to do 👌
