take control of your body with this trick

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!!"

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....

I wrote some goals out this morning..

...and I was surprised at how far away they seemed.

First goal: gain 5kg of muscle - gaining 0.5kg (or 1lb) of muscle each month this is 10 months away presuming epic commitment to diet and training, no holidays etc.

Second goal: gain 10kg of muscle - that's at least 2 years away.

For you, let's make some quick goals now...

SET A TARGET: If you want to gain muscle, how much do you want?

BE REALISTIC: Gain a pound or half a kilo a month...

TIMEFRAME: How many months away is your goal?

Or maybe you want fat loss...

SET A TARGET: If you want to lose weight, how much do you wanna lose?

Not seeing fitness results?

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.

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....

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?

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.....

The truth! Nothin' but the truth!

Carrying on from yesterday's 'what they don't tell you about fitness' post....

here's a few more things:

1) you will NOT gain muscle from lifting weights

at least, not at the speeds you think

It takes 2-3 months of consistent weight lifting for a beginner to start gaining noticeable muscle.

Because the muscles prefer to improve neuromuscular aspects (co-ordination, muscle memory, technique etc.) first because they are less energy demanding.
