When I understood this it changed everything
Nobody is motivated all the time
And you won’t be either 🙅
Let me tell you… I’m not always motivated to go out and run or get to the gym
It comes in waves 🌊
Your emotions will be up and down
The trick is to make sure you have clarity
A plan. A goal.
This will help you to build discipline and do the work regardless of your feelings on the day
Because then it becomes more than just a workout
That’s when you will change ✅
If you can do it when you’re feeling low it will be a breeze when you’re feeling motivated
Don’t succumb to negative thoughts and take control of outcome
This is where you’ll build discipline, habits and a mindset to carry over to other aspects of your life
…Remember it’s more that fat loss 👊

Damn good work by Doug!
1 stone down in 13 weeks 🔥
After our initial chat it was clear we just needed to get a plan of action together for Doug
Having two jobs a kid and Feeling quite down with an ankle injury he was carrying meant we really needed to tailor things to fit around his current situation
But in true Doug fashion grabbed the nutrition side of thing by the horns
Printing off all the recipes needed into a folder (which still amazes me) and learnt to structure his training and nutrition around his life
I’ve never known someone to be the host of so many parties but understand the underlying goal which he never strayed to far away from
He well and truly rekindled the flame from a training stand point
He now looks to compete in and iron man next year 🤯
As I always say everyone… comes to drop a bit of body fat but gains so much more inspiration to push the boundaries if they commit
There is a lot of opportunity if you choose to become the best version not only for you, but your family as well
Can’t wait to see where Doug’s journey goes 📈

12 weeks in for Lucy and her circumstances will be very relatable to a lot of people out there
She knew the fundamentals of training and had trained for while before she started with me.
Lucy’s issue was after she moved house she only focused on cardio because it was the easy fall back alternative and didn’t feel confident to rekindle her love for training in a gym again
Now I know this is the same thought as many people out there
and it’s a shame people stop doing what they love or even don’t make a start because they’re unsure about what to do and the environment they’re heading into
Lucy’s goal was to build confidence again, bring back the shape she once had and not feel like cardio was the only option
How did we do this?
We put together a programme which Lucy understood and could follow easily
This reassured what she was doing in the gym was right, on top of that it took the focus away from everything else apart from going in and getting the workout boxed off!
This allowed Lucy to get back upto speed very quickly
Marry that with a solid nutrition structure and daily accountability we’ve had made so much progress
Excited to see what the next 3 months brings 💪
If you feel like you’re in a similar boat and need the structure to help you get the physique you want, send me a quick DM and let’s have a chat

Your future is dictated by your daily habits 🔮
Too often people are unwilling to change their daily habits and hope to see change
If you continue on the same path you will receive the same outcome ♾️
What is causing your life to change?
Which daily steps are you taking to put yourself in a better position than you are right now?
We are conditioned for immediate gratification, so when we don’t see immediate results…. give up on the process, failing to see that our daily habits dictate our long term outcome
Social gatherings and events are a part of life but if you’re looking to get optimal results, these events should be treated in moderation and with a conscious mindset
The butterfly effect comes to mind here.
Each action you take shapes your reflection tomorrow, next week, 6 months and even years from now
And it all grew from that one habit you changed. 📈

5 Not so obvious reasons why your body weight spikes
This is why I take an average across the week for all my clients
It’s essential to monitor everyday and get as many data points as possible then you can look at the bigger picture
The reason for this is if you weighted yourself once a week and that one day your weight happens to spike, it will mask the real progress you’ve made during the week
Weight spikes are completely normal when dieting
but It can be alarming when you’ve done everything correct and see the scale number go up.

12 week stag do prep for
6 weeks was spent solely on nutrition and minor gym work due to a wrist injury
Not a component that wasn’t nailed by the lad! 💯
We planned for everything his birthday weekend and even the Euros which lasted until the bitter end
We were able to execute almost a stone loss averaging just over a pound per week which is a very respectable effort given the obstacles along the way 🔥
From the very start jose took the advice and just cracked on, ticking off each daily task and built a strong routine along the way
See my recent testimonial video to hear what Jose had to say 🗣️
The take away from Joses journey so far is everyone has obstacles in all shapes and sizes
Working long hours, events coming up, injuries, unforeseen events
It never gets any easier and there will always be a reason to not start
You need to ask yourself…. are you someone who just talks about doing something or are you someone who will take action?
Don’t be a victim in your own life, take control of it

Does your nutrition plan cover all these areas?
Quick diet fixes seem appealing but don’t offer longevity
Figure out a plan which covers all obstacles and learn how to navigate life and understand it doesn’t have to be overly restrictive making it an unsustainable approach
