Why do haters hate?

"Tuna salad again?! Don't you get bored? I'll never understand you fitness freaks, just eat some cake"

Damn. I thought. I'm just eating my lunch.

^^ this is an all too familiar scenario when you're dieting

People feel an innate NEED to comment on your life

Especially when you're trying to eat clean

Suddenly you become a fitness FREAK!

for some reason, people can freely comment about what you eat, how you train or how 'realistic' your goals are.


WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS


PEOPLE HATE BECAUSE YOUR POSITIVE ACTION HIGHLIGHTS A DEFICIENCY IN THEIR LIFE


PEOPLE HATE YOUR SUCCESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRIED AND FAILED


HATE AND CRITICISM TURNS INTO ADMIRATION (THEY WILL ASK YOU FOR HELP SOON!)


EVERY GREAT CHANGE IN THE WORLD HAS FIRST RECEIVED NEGATIVITY (for example, Martin Luther King Jr and the Black Civil Rights Movement)

Xmas Fitness Survival Guide

Most of the people around you will totally shut down for Christmas

Actually, they are probably on the mince pies already and counting down the days until they're off work

Then they'll go all 'Warrior Monk' on Jan 1st: no beer, no carbs, no mercy!!

...and they'll last about 10 days before going back to their old ways

Most people make getting in shape HARDER than it needs to be

Believe me, I've dieted through xmas before and there's nothing worse than being the boring person eating turkey and veggies ONLY and sipping on water.

My family thought I was an arsehole. And I was really grumpy!

Much better to plan a bit of fun AND achieve your goals.

So how could we all eat a little better around Christmas?

I see hundreds of people each year walk into my gym (not bullshit marketing hype here, I actually do as a head coach of a decent sized gym)...



....and it's time to talk straight.



YOU are struggling.



Stop hiding it.



Stop ignoring it.



You have no identity or life of your own.

Why I hate shiny abs and super six packs...

You can't change when you think your problems are unique

Let me explain this in 30 secs…

Imagine any film or TV scene where someone goes to an AA meeting (alcoholics anonymous) for the FIRST time.

Everyone’s sat in a circle, and they introduce themselves by saying:

“Hi, my name is Ricardo and I’m an Alcoholic”

And everyone else says…

2 must haves for health, strength and clarity...

Today I'm aiming to describe what I believe are the TWO ‘must-haves’ when it comes to a fitness program. Meaning that without these bases covered, you’ll find it easy to quit. Self-deception will be rife each day. You’ll go weeks without training then suddenly feel guilty. 


Sound familiar?


Let’s jump in:


1) STRUCTURE

Pillars of Life

One thing that I believe is extremely important when you want to get healthier is looking at your lifestyle.

 

Symptoms of an unhealthy lifestyle are things we all battle with: excess body fat, constant bad moods, stress, tiredness, unfit etc.

 

These are symptoms of an unhealthy lifestyle. Not something we can fix directly. 

 

Read that again - we cannot fix these things directly, without surgery and medication that is, and I’m assuming you don’t want to go down that route!

 

So let’s look at the main lifestyle factors that CAUSE these issues.
