Everyone has an end goal when they start their personal fitness journey. Whether this be to lose body fat, build muscle, lift a certain weight or run a marathon, it is important to have these goals as they provide us with a vision of what we want to achieve over a long period of time.
Read MoreYou 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....
Read MoreEver 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.

it's the little nasty voice in your brain saying....
what's in it for me?

Every time I've taken a step backwards in business, it's due to getting comfortable.
....and I'm sure we all know what happens when you get comfortable in a relationship!

2. What stopped you from training consistently?
The answers are so insightful I thought I'd share with you...
Read MoreSeemingly for no reason?
Here's what to do to 'get back on it'....
