MONDAY MOTIVATION

We had a great Facebook LIVE video today

Thanks to all of you who watched it!

If you missed out, it's been recorded and you can watch it on our FB page HERE

To put it simply I covered the feeling of being overwhelmed.

Massive Nutrition Insights

You might find this interesting to read if:

a) you've been good on your diet but fallen off the past few weeks/months

b) you suck at dieting and/or hate the process

---

My philosophy on diet is simple:

Fitness is broken because...

....what if you can't see what you could become?

You will never achieve what you can't see and feel in your mind.

Going a step further, even if you've seen others achieve your goal and you know the path is there, you'll give up if you can't see the path and don't get guidance.

For example:

Imagine a client coming to me and saying they'd only like to lose 1 stone, or 'tone up' before their holiday.

Ok, but when I can see strength, muscle, endurance, reduced stress, a happier life AND 3-4 stone lost so they actually have a flat stomach and abs....

Dieting but GAINED weight? Here's what to do…

Dieting but GAINED weight? Here's what to do…

First of all, relax, it's quite normal for this to happen in a number of situations.

And remember that gaining weight and gaining fat are two very different things. Mi

I feel this is a really important thing to discuss because you may be on track for great results, you may be training and dieting spot on…. then you gain weight and give up!

So let's look at a few scenarios.

So last week this happened....

......I consulted with a potential client who was on the cusp of joining our personal training program.

He needed to lose a lot of weight, was on medication for blood pressure and heart issues.

With huge worries of dying young.... to be honest I agreed with him.

He was at risk.

So we spoke, both got excited and I made a positive plan with him to get moving and DO something about it.

Which we started to do....

COACHES CORNER - Stop Dysfunction: Prevent Injury and Increase Performance by Warming Up Correctly

It was my first time playing for the seniors, I was 15 and knew nothing about anything, up until this point every game from warm up to cool down was run by a coach, I had never really thought about how or why I should warm up.

Anyway, I turned to the senior captain and asked what I should do to warm up, he replied “ah just summa deez and then we will be good to go” swinging his arms out and in a couple of times, touched the floor, shook out his legs and he was done.

How to Build More Muscle and Strength

Most people struggle with building muscle more than any other goal

You may think fat loss is hard to achieve?

Maybe you can’t improve on your pull-up strength?

Is your nutrition and meal prep overwhelming you and not getting done at the moment?

Well…

ALL of those areas pale in comparison to building muscle.

Obsession is Good for You!

FLASHBACK!

I’m 15 years old

I just get Bruce Lee’s workout book in the post, called “The Art of Expressing the Human Body”

(Epic read by the way)

And I was on Summer hols, no rugby, no job, and I lived in the middle of the countryside and obviously couldn’t drive yet

So I had pretty much NO friends or social life either!

But I didn’t give a f*ck!

WHEN Should I See Progress?

I get this a lot, clients and friends who are on a new exercise regime approach me with a worried grin and say the exact same phrase, one filled with doubt and laced with the anxious tone of one who has lost their direction...

"I don't feel like I'm making any progress"
