Sound familiar?
Fat loss can feel overwhelming.
Thereโs always another diet to try, another workout to follow, another rule to remember and another piece of advice telling you that youโre doing it wrong.
But what if getting in shape didnโt have to be so complicated?

Most people donโt need more information.
They need a plan they can actually follow.
You have two choices:
โ ๐ข๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ญ
Jump from one diet to the next.
Follow every new fitness trend.
Overthink every meal.
Set unrealistic rules.
Start strong, lose motivation and end up back where you started.
โ
๐ข๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ
Follow a clear, personalised plan built around your life.
A plan that fits your schedule.
Works around your challenges.
Plays to your strengths.
And most importantly, is something you can actually stick to.

You donโt need another complicated diet.
You donโt need to start over every Monday.
You just need the right plan and the right support.
If youโre ready to stop overthinking it and finally make progress, we can help.

Youโve probably heard of the โ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒโ.
The idea was simple:
Stay around 55 to 65% of your maximum heart rate and your body will burn more fat, so youโll lose more body fat.
Sounds logical, right?
๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐โ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐พ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ.
At lower intensities, your body does tend to use a greater percentage of fat for fuel.
But that doesnโt automatically mean youโll lose more body fat.
๐ช๐ต๐?
Because fat loss is driven primarily by your overall energy balance over time.
And when you increase exercise intensity, you can burn more total calories in less time.
๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ผ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ผ ๐๐น๐น ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ?
๐ก๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น.
High intensity can be a great tool for improving fitness and getting more work done in less time.
But it also creates more fatigue and requires more recovery.
Low intensity cardio has its place too.
Walking, cycling, incline treadmill work and other lower intensity activities can help you increase your daily energy expenditure without beating up your body.
๐ก ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต?
Use both.
๐โโ๏ธ Include some higher intensity sessions to challenge your fitness.
๐ถโโ๏ธ Use low intensity movement to build activity without excessive fatigue.
๐๏ธโโ๏ธ Keep resistance training in your programme to help maintain muscle while losing body fat.
๐ฅฉ Hit your protein target.
๐ฝ๏ธ Maintain an appropriate calorie deficit.
๐ด Prioritise recovery and sleep.
And most importantlyโฆ
๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐.
Thereโs no magic heart rate that suddenly switches your body into โfat loss modeโ.
The best approach is the one that helps you train effectively, manage your calories and stay consistent for months, not just days.

This is one of the questions we get asked all the time when new clients start with us.
The short answer?
๐ก๐ผ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐น๐.
Supplements can be useful, but they should supplement a good diet, not replace it.
๐ฅฉ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐
If you train regularly, getting enough protein is important for muscle repair, recovery and adaptation.
And you donโt need a protein shake to achieve that.
Meat, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils and soy can all provide plenty of protein.
๐ฅค ๐ฆ๐ผ ๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ป?
Think of protein powder as a convenience food.
If you struggle to get enough protein from meals, youโre short on time, or you need something quick after training, a shake can be a simple way to increase your intake.
๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป?
For people who train regularly, a useful general range is:
๐ Endurance training: ~1.2 to 1.6g/kg/day
๐๏ธ Resistance training: ~1.6 to 2.0g/kg/day
For example, someone weighing 70kg and regularly doing resistance training might aim for around 112 to 140g of protein per day.
โฐ ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ด?
Donโt overcomplicate it.
Your total daily protein intake matters most. Aim to spread your protein across the day and include a good source around your training when convenient.
๐ก ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ
You donโt need a cupboard full of supplements to make progress.
Get the basics right first:
โ
Eat enough
โ
Get enough protein
โ
Train consistently
โ
Sleep and recover
โ
Stay consistent
Then use supplements where they genuinely add value.

The honest answer?
Yes, it can.
Let me explain why.
Before we get into it, I want to be clear.
I donโt have an issue with my clients going out, having a few drinks, enjoying dinner, or living their lives. Thatโs normal. Thatโs healthy.
As long as itโs moderate, fits within their targets, and keeps them moving toward their goals.
Technically, you could eat chocolate fudge cake and ice cream and still hit your targets ๐๐
Not recommended, but it is possible.
Now, back to the real issue.
How โjust one night outโ turns into a lost week
Letโs say you head out for a nice meal and a few drinks. All good so far.
Then the drinks keep coming and you tell yourself, โItโs only one night, it wonโt do much damage.โ
Before you know it, the night ends with a Chinese takeaway ๐
You crawl into bed, sleep terribly, and wake up feeling awful.
Day 1. Hangover day!
๐ You eat none of the foods you planned. Itโs carbs on carbs on carbs
๐ You barely drink any water
๐ No workout, not even your steps ๐ถโโ๏ธ
You have now massively overeaten for at least 24 hours.
Day 2
Sleep is slightly better, but you still feel off.
Sugar cravings are high.
The thought of training makes you feel sick ๐คฎ
So you donโt train.
Day 3
You try to move a bit more, but junk food is still creeping in.
Cravings are still there.
You tell yourself, โIโll start again tomorrow.โ
Day 4
Finally, you feel normal again.
But by now, youโve wiped out a week, maybe two, of progress.
The takeaway
Getting fit and healthy is about balance.
You wonโt see results by under-eating and over-training.
You also wonโt see results by going off track for three days straight.
Enjoy your nights out.
Spend time with friends and family.
Live your life.
Just make sure it still fits your targets and keeps you moving forward, not backwards.
Thatโs how you smash your goals ๐ช๐

I'm going to let you in on a little secret about getting into shape...
Or
For anything else worth achieving in life...
It's never about perfection! ๐ซ
You donโt have to be perfect all the time, but you have to be consistent if you want to achieve!
My clients are sick of me saying this to them, but I keep repeating it because itโs the truth.
Everyone wants to hear about the latest pill, potion, or a new piece of exercise equipment for the shortcut to a better body, but consistency trumps everything.
Now, donโt be fooled. You can get quick results if you are consistent and put the work in. Just check out my clients' excellent results on my page if you donโt believe me! ๐ช
Quite often, we get results in just 6-12 weeks that most won't get in a year. To be brutally honest, most won't ever see results like ours in a lifetime as they just spend an hour wandering around in the weights room alone or walking on the treadmill & checking emails before quitting after 2 weeks.
When you work with me, I will make sure you stay consistent meal to meal, day to day, week to week, month to month!
Of course, we will have downtime and relax here and there when we need to, but our program is all about results, and being consistent is the best way of achieving that!

One thing we do differently at Chris Bradley Personal Training is this
from day one, every client gets a simple, solid plan of action.
No chaos. No guessing. No jumping from thing to thing.
Once that plan is in place, I tell my clients to stick to it and focus on getting the basics right.
A big part of this is switching off from anything new that could confuse the plan, give conflicting advice, or pull focus away from what actually works.
In simple terms, donโt be a shiny object chaser.
We all know one.
It might be a friend.
It might even be you.
And yes, sometimes itโs their current coach.
You know the type.
Always a new plan.
A new scheme.
A new gadget.
Yet somehow no closer to real results.
โ Googling diets and celebrity plans
โ Subscribed to Menโs Fitness
โ Tried a cheap โshred planโ from an inexperienced trainer who copied it from Google or last monthโs magazine and passed it off as their own ๐
Hereโs my advice.
For the next month or two, stop trying to learn five different diets and training methods. Thatโs exactly what makes people doubt the plan theyโre already on.
Go on an information ban.
Put your head down.
Put the work in.
Trust me and my team of amazing coaches. Trust a tried and tested system thatโs delivered world-class results for hundreds, now well over 1,000 clients.
And before you say โnothing works for meโ
let me assure you, this does
Here are just the last three clients Iโve accepted into the program. Their most recent check-ins show:
Seaney has dropped 15 lbs
Joe has dropped 8.8 lbs
Jack has dropped 12lbs
Iโve got 5 spots available this month for people who are serious about leading from the front and building their best body yet.
Send me a message with the word RESULTS and Iโll send you the details.

Letโs take a moment to ask a serious question:
Do you actually have a clear, realistic plan to get fit and healthy? ๐ช๐
Not a vague idea.
Not โIโll start next Monday.โ
Not jumping on whatever diet or workout trend is going viral this week.
Weโre talking about a proper, step-by-step plan that fits you โ your lifestyle, your goals, and your starting point. ๐ฏ
One of the first things we do with every client at CBPT is map out that plan together.
We donโt believe in cookie-cutter programs or one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, we create something realistic, sustainable, and clear. Something you can stick to โ and actually enjoy.
And once that plan is in place, we ask just two simple things:
1๏ธโฃ Stick to it.
2๏ธโฃ Focus on nailing the basics. โ
Thatโs it. Because when it comes down to it, success in health and fitness isnโt about doing everything perfectly. Itโs about doing the right things consistently.
But hereโs the challenge:
In todayโs world, weโre surrounded by noise. ๐
Every day thereโs a new โsecretโ diet, a trending workout, or someone promising fast results with little effort.
Itโs easy to feel overwhelmed. Itโs easy to second-guess yourself.
And thatโs where most people go off track.
At CBPT, we cut through that noise.
โ No gimmicks.
โ No fads.
โ No second-guessing.
โ
Just proven systems, expert coaching, and a straightforward approach that gets results. ๐๐ฅ
Weโve helped hundreds of clients become stronger, leaner, healthier, and more confident โ without sacrificing their lives, their time, or their sanity.
And the same can be true for you. ๐ฅ
So if youโre tired of starting overโฆ
If youโre ready to commit to a smarter wayโฆ
And if youโre ready to finally see results that lastโฆ
๐ Letโs talk.
Weโll build your plan.
You bring the commitment.
And together, weโll make it happen. ๐
Youโve got this and weโve got your back. ๐ฏ

โฃ
Ok, remain with me, for a short science lesson before quickly moving on to the juicy info you are looking forโฆโฃ
โฃ
NEATโฆ stands for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesisโฃ
โฃ
And NEAT is how much energy you consume for everything you do other than structured exerciseโฃ.
โฃ
NEAT matters because every single movement you achieve each day burns calories!โฃ
โฃ
And if you burn more calories through NEAT while managing your calorie intake (Food)โฃ
โฃ
You will drop body fat ๐ช
โฃ
For several of my clients, increasing their daily NEAT activities greatly influences their fat loss progress if you find youโre job means sitting at a desk or driving most of the day!
โฃ
To increase NEAT, you can try simple things likeโฆโฃ
๐ถWalk more daily (on lunch break for example)
๐ Stretch and move throughout the dayโฃ
๐ Take regular movement breaks from your deskโฃ every hour
๐ Use your car lessโฃ when possible
โฃ
And if you have a smartphone or smartwatch, you can easily track all this extra movement!โฃ
โฃ
Depending on your current body weight weight, NEAT can help you burn an extra 500 calories daily!โฃ
โฃ
That is more than a thirty-minute workout ๐ฑ
โฃ
NEAT is just one of the many weight loss hacks we use at CBPTโฃ to boost our clients fat loss results.
โฃ
It's an extremely valuable tool that helps our members drop body fat, get fitter and increase strength while building a healthy lean body!โฃ

For many women aged 30 and over, getting back in shape can feel overwhelming. Energy is lower, confidence might have taken a knock, and it is hard to know where to start. Add in work, family and everything else, and it is easy to feel stuck.
It does not have to stay that way.
โก Low energy
If you are relying on caffeine or sugar just to get through the day, that is often a sign something needs to change.
With the right balance of nutrition and training, your energy can feel more stable and consistent.
๐ Clothes not fitting well
It is frustrating when things do not feel the way they used to.
A simple, structured approach to strength training and nutrition can help your body change without extreme dieting.
๐ญ Confidence
This is not just about weight. It is about how you feel day to day.
As your strength and fitness improve, confidence tends to follow.
โณ Thinking it is too late
A lot of women feel they have missed their chance.
In reality, this stage of life is a good time to build habits that actually last and support your long term health.
At CBPT, we work with women over 30 who want a straightforward, realistic approach to fitness. No extremes, just a plan that fits around your life and helps you feel better over time.
If you want to feel stronger, have more energy and be more comfortable in your body, that is exactly what we focus on.
