Your next workout is your most important session when it comes to making sure your improvements come thick and fast. If you aren’t training a minimum of 3 times a week, you are unlikely to be improving as well as you could be.

Missing workouts is the single biggest factor in you never realising your potential.

If you miss a week, then it will take you 1-2 weeks to get back to normal.

Miss a month and you will find it very hard just to get back into training again.

Consistency will always be your best friend.

100% of the time, the individuals you see with before and after photos that are impressive are always the ones who never miss a session, always workout hard to the best of their ability, and are totally committed to taking that next step forward all the time.

Your next workout should be one of fresh opportunity, fresh optimism, and a realisation that you will have even more endurance and strength to push yourself that little bit more next time.

Big changes in your body are the results of many, many workouts where you gave that little bit more each time.

When you change your body, you change your mind very much for the better too. You think better and more clearly, you become stronger and you become much more positive.

Looking forward to workouts and fresh improvements every week is entirely possible. Showing up regularly is your most important step every time, even if at times you don’t even feel like it after a tough day.

Keep making it happen and see the progress continuing!!

We all love our comfort zones.

We all have our favourite clothes, our favourite friends, our favourite foods etc.

We make our favourite dishes because we know the hands that made it, how it was prepared and we knew it was a safe dish.

We wear the same clothes because they are comfortable and familiar. They may not be in fashion any more but for some reason they feel good on.

Our friends make us feel safe and secure, and we are content to stick with them, shying away from the risks required to form new friendships.

But the facts are that most of what we want and look for that is meaningful and significant is just beyond the edge of our comfort zone. If we never push ourselves further than we think we can go, we will never get out of our comfort zone, and achieve what we really think is possible.

You have to jump “all in” to your health and fitness programme. You can’t go half-hearted with your exercises programme, training 4 times one week and once the next for example, you need to be giving it everything you have, this is when great success happens.

You can’t eat good food now and again and expect to be in shape and have an abundance of energy. Going “all in” with your nutritional programme means getting amazing results, but you have to leave your comfort zone each day until you get used to what it feels like to “eat clean”.

It’s vital we all reach, stretch and expand from where we are now, if we want to keep on achieving more we need to get off the sidelines and start playing the game. Immersing ourselves in action is the one thing we can do immediately!

Taking control of your fitness is much easier than you think.

You need to take any “get out clauses” out of it though.

Those times you may think “shall I go training tonight or not?” have to go. You can’t let the weather make the decision for you on whether you train or not-it will always be “too hot”, “too cold”, “too wet”, “too dark” at certain times of year.

Don’t rely on someone else to train with you all the time.

Training partners are great but life happens and sometimes they won’t be able to make it. I’m at the gym at the normal hours all the time, so if you are looking for that extra push, just text me or shout at me and say let’s get a massive session done!

You should be able to put in three sessions a week NO MATTER WHAT!!! Anything else is a welcome bonus.

Just think of your dental appointments, your solicitor appointments, your school appointments, you never break them do you?

Your health is more important that all of those so when you schedule a session in, make sure you make it happen every time.

Showing up for your sessions is the single most important thing you can do. Your body and your ability will naturally improve quickly.

Schedule your sessions in and don’t let anything come between them. You will be in total control of your fitness and how much you will improve. No more “maybe’s” and “someday’s I’ll do it”, the time is now.

Sometimes it’s much better to have thunder than a gentle shower.

Monday is a typical example of that.

Most of you who get a workout in on a Monday always wonder why you are feeling so tired. The simple fact is that you have been probably resting up the weekend, you probably have eaten a little bit worse than normal meaning you have eaten “empty” calories devoid of energy that will make you even more tired.

So Monday is the time you really need to get going again, you need to set your stall out for the rest of the week, and you need to set your standards very high.

Get Monday right and the rest of your week will look great.

This is why our music is always like thunder, it’s always going to get you going, or shake you to your foundations, one or the two!

Monday is the day you need to be “all in” with your training. All in means you really give it everything, you get excited about your progress and you wonder how you can get even more out of your training.

With proper eating and rest, there’s no reason why you cant improve every single week. Stay positive and look how you can get even more out of yourself again.

Make Monday happen big time and feel the rewards for the rest of the week!!

Time is our most valuable thing we have, there’s 168 hours in a week and you can’t make any more of it up unlike money.

Where we decide to invest our time demonstrates what is really important to us.

If you say “you don’t have time” to do something, this really means that “something” is not really important to you.

If exercise is important to you and a priority, then you will train first thing in the morning or last thing at night, JUST TO FIT IT IN!

If a personal relationship is important to you, you will make time for it no matter how busy you are.

If treating your body with proper nutrition is important to you, then you will grocery shop on a Sunday and spend 10 minutes the night before preparing food, making sure you eat right.

If you are really passionate about your business, you will wake up early and stay up late building up your dream.
So have a think where did you invest your time yesterday? Where are you going to invest your time today?
