You likely stay up way later than you should
You’re perpetually sleep deprived
You don’t ever feel rested
And when you have to get up 30 mins earlier than usual
Well...
You may as well be a zombie.
So here, my friends, is the ONE thing to save your sleep
Remember back when you were young
Ah, the good old days
Life was simple
You used to play for hours
And then, the dreaded two words would drift into your ear..
“BED TIME!!"

Let's not mess about, meal prep is simple....when you get it right.
Step 1) get a calorie target and macro split for your goal (go online, ask your coach, work it out yourself)
Step 2) put your calories/macros into myfitnesspal (go to goals > calories & macro goals and customise it)
Step 3) put in foods you LIKE, that you could eat every day for a year (within reason) and do not worry about amounts, just make 4-6 little meal EXAMPLES

....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…
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.

Think about this....
....everything you are experiencing right now IS a result.
Not happy with your belly?
that's a result
Unhappy with your strength?
that's a result.
SOMETHING has caused these things to happen.

......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....

You know, I've probably started more programs than I've finished.
In fact, who am I kidding, I definitely have!
I've been lifting weights for over 17 years now
And every 2-3 weeks since day one I pretty much get excited about some new program, or diet, or exercise, or gimmick...
....and I want to jump in and try it!
But let it be known my followers, thy divine secret of all future gainz is....

every year I CONVINCE myself that I'm 'not in too bad of a shape'
I'm confident about my body and always have been
But as those calendar days get crossed off...
....as my holiday gets closer and closer....
I start to doubt myself.
I look in the mirror and start pinching and grabbing my belly fat and love handles
I take 'before' pictures and set out a ridiculously low calorie diet for myself
I promise myself that 'just 4 weeks' of no cheat meals is doable
I commit to training 5 days a week for 4 weeks
and at the end of 4 weeks, you know what happens?
