Airlie Beach Marathon - 4 weeks out

Another week living the dream ☀️🏖️🎾

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 👋🏼

Jack first reached out looking to take his athletic performance and exercise and training knowledge to the next level 📈

With a history of yo-yo dieting he was left frustrated at the position he was in as could lose weight easily but would then always pile it back on after not too long.

We formulated a plan of attack together, now 2 stones down, getting consistently more time on the court and enjoying his training again.

Here are some shots of what he had to say for himself 👉🏼

An unwritten rule in our group
Everyone is going to:

🕹️ Drink too much the odd weekend
🕹️ Over indulge from time to time
🕹️ Miss the odd session
🕹️ Snooze the alarm
🕹️ Have a bad game
🕹️ Skip a weigh in

From time to time
That's natural, that's life

But what you can't then do is feel sorry for yourself, let it carry into your week, play on your mind for days and halter your progress.

Get over it
Get over yourself

And make sure next time you nail it, do what you say you would do and don't make the same mistake twice

There is no end game to health and fitness so let's keep carrying on with purpose and positivity 🙌🏼👊🏼

In the group this week it was business as usual with the guys continuing to implement and improve week after week.

We've got continuing her comeback from surgery over the last few weeks and gradually increasing volume and frequency.

It was also a new programme week for as she transitioned over to a new gym.



Personally it's been a mad week
We started off great last weekend staying with friends up in Brisbane which was class to hang with them again for a few days!

We then hit the road again up to the Sunshine Coast with the plan of heading back down for Jenny's new job to start on Wednesday in Byron ... Which got cancelled on Friday morning leaving us with no accommodation and no jobs again 🥲

Talk about short notice 🙃

Gold Coast looks like it's going to be the chosen spot for the next few months of the journey at least though so can't wait to get some work and a roof over the head and settled in over the next week or so 🌅😎



Training wise week 3 of the marathon training is in the bag and I have currently hit 8/9 runs so got some catching up to do this week.
Still hit 40km on foot this week which all felt pretty good and finding a nice gradual pace increase.

The thought of it after sleeping on an air mattress with a crooked neck can really test you but always feel better for getting out there and getting it done!

Hopefully this week will bring some normality and stability but just going to just embrace whatever comes next.

Hey ho, enough about me. How was your week ?

Let me know below 👇🏼😎

Not having time to train is a common excuse/issue that alot of you will claim.
Sometimes warranted, sometimes a cop out

What was your screen time the past week ? 🤥🤥

But think by actually making an effort and moving the body you actually get so much more time in return, hear me out;

Short term - more productivity and focus, save time over the course of a day. More engaged, more energy, more efficient in your work, tasks, to dos.

Long term - literally adding years to your life 😀

Remember you don't have to be going for an hour plus, let's be real it's not possible for everyone.

🏃🏼‍♂️A 15 minute jog round the street.

🐶 A 20 mins bodyweight workout while the kids watch paw patrol

🥨 A 30 minute stretch/yoga session off YouTube

📱 A 45 minute walk whilst on the phone to yer pal

Just something, anything will be enough to give you that wee energy lift that can get you through the day making better decisions and put you in a more positive frame of mind.

Everything becomes easier when you are fitter and stronger.

Give a little time and energy for double the return ⏳

Give me a shout if you'd like some help piecing this together and how it could work for you!

1) Think movement over exercise 🏋🏼‍♂️

Ask yourself,
Is it upper or lower body ?
Upper wise are you pushing or pulling the weight ?
Lower body is it knee or hip dominant?

The beauty of these new gyms is they have lots of machines. But ultimately a lot of them are just a variation of an exercise you were already doing.

Take the shoulder press, it's still a shoulder press whether it's with a barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, pin loaded machine and plate loaded machine.

Your ultimatly still pushing a weight overhead.

The same applys for chest press, seated rows, squat variations etc

Don't come away from that principle. Always think what's the movement here.

2) Stick to what you know at first 😌

The new machines are exciting and they have there place eventually, but if your going in with a plan of hitting 8 new machines you've never used before, obviously your gonna feel a bit unsure at first.

Instead add maybe one new machine to upper and one to a lower day, get good at it for 4-6 weeks then add in another and stagger them into the training plan.

Similar to point one above, alot of the exercises are the same, it's just different variations you will be doing.

3) Watch exercise tutorial videos in advance 📱

YouTube shorts can be great for this, or follow my page with 100+ exercise demos in under 60s

4) Train with someone 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Nothing better than having your mate with you and yous can be unsure together 🤝🏼

Hope it helps ✌🏼

Training hard but not getting anywhere 😭

I have been there and so has the majority of my clients, these guys included ⬆️

Bloody frustrating eh

But as the old saying goes, you can't out train a bad diet (unfortunately lol)

Training is the fun part, and quickly becomes the easy part.

That's why a large % of the coaching side is based on the nutrition side of things.

Your likes and dislikes, eating habits and routines, pitfalls etc

Monitored and updated on a weekly basis

Once we can figure out, trial and error a few things, sustain the new habits

That's when we start printing money 💰 🫡

How good 🏆

Sometimes all you need is a fresh pair of eyes and new way of thinking.

Before signing up I knew Gemma was already a great all round athlete, competing in run clubs and events, CrossFit sessions etc and held good condition.

To know this and still be able to put your hand in the air and ask for some help and guidance is often the difference between pretty good and great though.

5kg down 📉
Running speed & endurance up 🏃🏼‍♀️
Gym performance 💪🏼
Clothes fitting nicer 👗
Nutritional knowledge 🧠

All in all a very successful couple of months 👏🏼



Your turn next ?

Hit me up, online spaces available for immediate start ☺️

Thank goodness that our time at the pie factory has come to an end🥧

Full circle moment from selling pies at Ibrox as my first job at 16 to have been actually making them.

Never again though, was getting a bit out of hand towards the end 😅

Full focus back to coaching again 🎯

Next stop Queensland 📍

Hopefully a gym based job in next few weeks 🤞🏼
