Why fitness is confusing.

Ever had one of those lightbulb moments?

 

I have them all the time.

 

not because I'm particularly clever

 

But usually because I'm doing things so arse-backwards that when I finally see the light it's a big revelation.

 

Take lifting weights, for example.

12 hours of hell.

There's no way to say this nicely

 

I hate walking, unless it's around a park, or on a beach...

 

I really hate walking up mountains.

 

But my lovely clients convinced me to walk the Yorkshire 3 peaks this past Easter weekend.

 

And you know what.....

The truth! Nothin' but the truth!

Carrying on from yesterday's 'what they don't tell you about fitness' post....

 

here's a few more things:

 

1) you will NOT gain muscle from lifting weights

 

at least, not at the speeds you think

 

It takes 2-3 months of consistent weight lifting for a beginner to start gaining noticeable muscle.

 

Because the muscles prefer to improve neuromuscular aspects (co-ordination, muscle memory, technique etc.) first because they are less energy demanding.

unbelievable fitness truths

Today I thought I'd share a few 'accepted beliefs' that annoy me in the fitness world, stay with me, you may find the truth hard to handle....

 

....but after the initial sting, you'll thank me.

 

:-)

 

1) You'll have to eat MORE than you think.

 

If you've gained more fat than you'd like it can ONLY happen when the body has been in fat storage mode.

 

Fat storage mode is caused by undereating.

 

So eat more often throughout the day, rather than starving yourself then overeating.

what's in it for me?

there's only one thing that drives your motivation

 

it's the little nasty voice in your brain saying....

 

what's in it for me?

 

For example, losing fat is a 'you vs you' struggle where the 'good' side of your brain wants to eat clean, train hard and improve...

 

....but the 'bad' side is always asking what's in it for me?

 

Problem is, if you can't answer this question you will fail.

Fancy dining logic bro....

I love eating out, one of the best meals I've ever had was in Hawksmoor, Manchester.

 

Oak panels, secret passages, old-world feel, old fashioned whiskeys, steak, wine...... you gotta try it.

 

Anyway....

 

Fancy dining is great, but I don't depend entirely on restaurant meals for my nutrition.

 

That'd be stupid, right?

it's summer shred time dudes

Ah the sun, we all love it.

 

It's a great reminder that summer is on the way

 

Which means suncream, ice-cold beer, melting ice-cream, sand in your shoes, endlessly reading the latest sexy-tease novel....

 

....but there's a bigger issue that nobody ever talks about...

 

Feeling GOOD about taking your top off (guys) or feeling confident in your bikini (girls).

 

I don't hear anyone talking about the fear of de-robing on the beach, do you?
