Day 1: (Monday, of course) You have spent the weekend on a solo eating mission clearing out the fridge and pantry to ensure there are no ‘bad’ foods left and to ensure all temptation has been removed. Your gym gear is ready to go and you feel energised, excited and ready to go. Week 1: Good start, only a few ‘slip ups’ hit the gym every day, body feels like an old rusty car struggling to move, but you’re on a roll, can’t stop now. Week 2: Pretty good week, ok in fact. Train

Are you feeling fatigued, flat, no energy and just feel that your not getting as much out of boot camps (or any exercise for that matter) that you use too? You were lifting 9kg two weeks ago, but this week your struggling to lift an 8kg and or even 7kg. You've hit a brick wall? No matter how hard you work you’re not seeing any results! Why? How? It could be that your just tired from a big week or it could be that your body is telling you that it can’t handle all this extra ex

Last night an amazing thing happened - (as it does every year). At 12:01am about a billion people magically transformed into positive, motivated, excited, purposeful and inspired people. This year my new years resolution is New year.. new me I am quitting... From today onwards no more... I'm going to be a size 10 I'm going to walk the dog more Etc, etc.. Recently I heard that about 1% of people actually follow through with their new years resolutions. I read somewhere else th

It’s almost that time of year when everyone feels super motivated, starts a new training and clean eating regime and get’s ready to take on the world. Oh but of course not for a few more days yet! as remember it would be silly to start anything new before January 1st right? This mindset in itself is slightly flawed, only starting things on Monday’s, only on January 1st, waiting until you have more time or when work settles down, the reality is if you have this mindset you wil

Take responsibility for your health, your results and behaviours, no one else is to blame Be honest with yourself about what you eat, write it down (you will be surprised) Get involved with or follow people who you aspire to be like Avoid negative people or people who do not support you or try to bring you down Eat more foods that make you feel better, both physically and mentally Move everyday! Learn or do something new Stop justifying your silly decisions Let go of the past

It seems that many people’s view or perception on what exercise is has been skewed by the ever growing fitness industry. There are so many images, articles and videos on social media these days posting images of people lying on the floor half dead after a killer workout. Or that to get results, you need to train 10hrs a day and eat next to nothing. This ‘new culture’ of exercise and what it is supposed to be has been skewed a little and the result is a daunting and frightenin

With your health, fitness, your career or business goals, or life in general, you NEED to set BIG GOALS! There’s a big motive why people use personal trainers and it’s also a good metaphor for this article. A client (training on their own) starts a set of 10 reps; they get to 10 and finish on 10. A client with a trainer get’s to 10 and then the trainer says 1 more, then 1 more and then if the trainer is like most they may say 1 or 2 more again. And the client ends up doing 12

To be successful in your career, business your health or any other aspect of your life you need to have a big enough reason to get out of bed each morning! If that reason isn’t significant enough then what is going to drive you each day to get up and do what’s needed to get you to where you want to be!? A lot of people have a driving force but they’re just not aware of it. Something motivates them or get’s them out of bed each day to face the world. For me it’s inspiring, hel

I think it’s fair to say that most people know what they should do to be healthier, fitter, stronger and even more successful. A lack of knowledge or information (in most cases) is not the issue, as nowadays we have an abundance of information at our fingertips. The issue is we fail to take action or implement the knowledge we have. People want to lose weight, people want to be fitter and healthier and they want to avoid dying at an early age due to poor health. You don’t hea
