Celebrating my wonderful clients 81st birthday last night 🇬🇧🖤

Pre-wedding shake out with the crew 🏃🏻‍♂️👌🏻

“I hardly eat anything and I can’t lose weight”…

Fat loss is very simple (the theory) but only when you know how

And

Fat loss in practice is extremely tough - physically and mentally

But it’s made 1000 x harder by people complicating things in a bid to win your attention (shiny object syndrome) on the internet in order to sell you XYZ

One thing that people really don’t understand (and why would they) until their told is shown in this slide

It’s why it’s perfectly normal to have different sized portions to your partner

And why it should make you feel at ease than if you’re overweight you’re at the EASIEST starting point to drop fat quickly

Both those things should be encouraging!

Ps

I have nothing to sell except years of proving simply repeated accountable action works and why having someone in your corner who understands your struggle is far more effective than listening to hundreds of different words of “wisdom” on the internet and trying to go it alone

Thank you to the for the article on Jeff and his incredible achievements (along with his other 5 fellow ever presents).

Thank you to for having us on the radio just now and hearing Jefs story

The “ever presents” are an incredible group of gentleman and I hope they get the recognition they deserve 👍🏻

We’re almost at 750,000 views and 5000 comments on Jefs incredible story of being an “ever present” at the London Marathon

As well as my photography and marketing work, I’ve been a PT & S&C coach for over 12 years, I just don’t post about it much on here

But

Here’s to hoping that London Marathon Events will join me and the thousands of others to celebrate the achievements and 44 years of consecutive London marathons by just 6 people in the world

It would be amazing to see their success broadcasted on official London Marathon channels to show how much they’re loved and supported 🖤

44 Consecutive not out for the EVER PRESENT that is Jef Aston 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Client of 12 years, club mate, friend for life.

Couldn’t be prouder of the dedication, at not that far off 80 years of age, this LEGEND of the running community puts in every single day.

It might not be a 2:29 like the good old days but to have completed every single one since the race began is incredible.

Well done Jeff 👏🏻🟢🔴

This time last year at the where I went for sub 3 & bonked hard at 20 miles

Of course of all people I should have known better but I forgot a couple of gels of the brand I’d been using and didn’t like the ones I’d replaced them with, so just didn’t take them - which will absolutely bite you on the ass and it did

Today I’m back training in the build up to with a 21 mile run and although not as fit as last year, I’m not too far behind with a few weeks to go

So for anyone running tomorrow - no matter what, stick to your plan, don’t go off too fast, drink your water, take your electrolytes and TAKE YOUR GELS at every planned increment

All the training in the world won’t count for anything if you don’t fuel properly - trust me 😂

Then most of all - soak it up and enjoy every step, the atmosphere is INCREDIBLE

The best race in the best city on earth 🙏🏻

Read the last bit on the last slide

Look how good just moving your body is

Look how helpful walking is

Look at what all of us can do every day to lengthen our lives and be fitter, healthier and ultimately happier in better shape

Go

For

A

Walk

Every

Single

Day

Is walking good for you?

In short, if I had to pick one thing that every single person on earth should commit to each day, it’s a walk.

- Improve heart and lung health
- Improved mental health, especially being out in nature
- Improved / maintained muscle & bone health especially in older populations
- Free
- Low risk (although watch out for those beautifully laid British pavements)
- Burns calories with low intensity effort (granted you must walk a fair distance for this)
- Easy to track (steps, distance, time)
- Can be made harder (hills, weighted rucksack, distance, speed)
- Can be done anywhere

Will 10,000 steps (or any number) magically make you lose all that body fat you’re itching to shift? No, not unless your calories reduce - but it’ll help, and it’ll do all of the above as well which is only a positive outcome

Everybody should be aiming for 30-60 minutes outside walking a day

Don’t say you don’t have time, you do

Don’t say “it’s raining”- wear a coat, you won’t go rusty

Do it, enjoy it, appreciate it.

Your body & mind will thank you for it 👍🏻
