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.

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?

in the gym, no one can hear you scream!

"You're standing in the petrol station queue one wet Thursday afternoon, glance at a magazine cover model and just think 'fuck it, I'll never look as good as him/her.' "

 

Just me?

Comfort = Laziness and lost goals

It's very easy to get comfortable in life.

 

Every time I've gained fat, it's due to getting comfortable.

 

Every time I've taken a step backwards in business, it's due to getting comfortable.

 

....and I'm sure we all know what happens when you get comfortable in a relationship!

 

Comfort breeds laziness.

 

Laziness is a lovely, warm, fuzzy feeling that holds us back.

 

It's the silent killer of dreams.

 

It's the demon that keeps you in a job you hate for a few too many years.

Fitness isn't that hard...

I'm fed of seeing people failing to follow through on their goals

What. The. Fuck.

 

I'll change your life right now:

Have you started off 2017 with a fitness resolution?

If so…

Maybe you’ve spent a few months, even years, of doing nothing? No training hard, no eating right?

First off, WELL DONE.

I’m proud of anyone who’s confident enough to stand up and say “I’m not happy and I want to improve!”

That takes guts.

But here’s the problem:
