scary gym times...
sometimes you may find yourself paralysed by fear
too scared to do what you said you were going to do
Let's say you wanted to train 3x a week, joined a gym, set out your gym clothes and set your morning alarm.
Then, you wake up early, start to worry about walking into the gym and being the most unfit person they'd ever seen
The most out of shape
The weakest
The slowest
....you then roll over and set your alarm for another 90 mins sleep.
This is common!
And easily avoidable.

The RULES of getting leaner
Do you ever feel like you aren't getting leaner or stronger?
This can be really frustrating when you're sticking to your diet AND going to the gym too!
why do some people get good results from eating well and training hard, yet others flat out fail?
THE MIND TENDS TO SHOW YOU NEGATIVE THINGS FIRST
I guess this is a survival mechanism in the brain, the 'chimp brain' - which is always looking for danger. Emotional or physical.
Over millennia, rather than deluding ourselves with positivity, negativity kept us safe.
"should we go into that dark cave? It looks scary. It might have a bear inside"
Problem is, how your chimp brain 'feels' your results are going is NOT a good way of gauging progress on a fitness plan.
Here's an example…

Eat on the go and stay healthy - SUMMARY
MAN IS NOTHING ELSE BUT WHAT HE MAKES OF HIMSELF - Jean Paul Satre
The way you look and feel is a side effect of how you live your life.
For many people, it's easy to review whether you need to change directions in life or not.
Simply look in the mirror and ask, “am I happy with the way my body looks?”
Or, “am I living as my best self?”
This will give easy (if quite painful!) indicators of whether or not a new life strategy is needed.
It’s not enough to simply try to “eat better” or “stop eating crap”
You’ve tried that and it didn’t work!
In my experience, when somebody improves all areas of their life, it’s much easier to eat right, train hard, sleep well and feel great.

Eat on the go and stay healthy: PART TWO
wake-work-sleep-wake-work-sleep
We all get stuck in a rut.
In fact, I believe the way we live our lives is broken.
People in the UK spend less than 2 hours of their day outside
The average british citizen will spend 47 years working, probably in a job they hate
The fitness media does a terrible job of separating facts from fiction.
And so try as we do, after doing a diet 95% of us will regain the fat lost within 3 yrs.
Back to 'stuck in a rut' mode
wake-work-sleep-wake-work-sleep
I did this once.

Stressed & Sleeping Poorly? You’re not alone
I believe there's an epidemic sneaking up on us...
I see hundreds of people each year walk into my gym (not bullshit marketing hype here, I actually do as a head coach of a decent sized gym)...
....and it's time to talk straight.
YOU are struggling.
Stop hiding it.
Stop ignoring it.
You have no identity or life of your own.

Why we eat crap on the go
Our body responds to modern stress just like it responded to the old sabre-toothed tiger: fight or flight.
In preparation for a fight, or a flight, our body releases cortisol and adrenaline
This stimulates a variety of physical symptoms like faster heart rate, slowed digestion, shaking, flushed face etc.
The problem is, we are not in great danger in modern life!

You can't change when you think your problems are unique
Let me explain this in 30 secs…
Imagine any film or TV scene where someone goes to an AA meeting (alcoholics anonymous) for the FIRST time.
Everyone’s sat in a circle, and they introduce themselves by saying:
“Hi, my name is Ricardo and I’m an Alcoholic”
And everyone else says…

your health is fine until it isn’t
One of my favourite books is The Tartar Steppe.
A young army officer goes to a remote fort to start his career.
He has loads of hopes and dreams.
Every day the soldiers gaze out across a mysterious desert, waiting for the enemy to appear.
They’ve been waiting for decades, but every now and then a glimpse of something on the horizon gets their hopes up.
Is it a distant sandstorm?
Or is it the enemy approaching?
