a silly story about getting in shape...

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?

Why fitness is confusing.

Ever had one of those lightbulb moments?

I have them all the time.

not because I'm particularly clever

But usually because I'm doing things so arse-backwards that when I finally see the light it's a big revelation.

Take lifting weights, for example.

12 hours of hell.

There's no way to say this nicely

I hate walking, unless it's around a park, or on a beach...

I really hate walking up mountains.

But my lovely clients convinced me to walk the Yorkshire 3 peaks this past Easter weekend.

And you know what.....

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...
