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....

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....

Don't be stupid.

what do you really want?

I'll tell you something right now.

It won't be MORE stuff.

You don't want more money

You don't want more strength

You don't need to focus on that.

Huh? I hear you thinking...

...but stay with me.

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"
