Visualisation is the first key to a successful future.

The best way to predict the future is to see it and then create it by doing it.

The hurdles and challenges we face are sometimes very tough, but being able to see what is ahead unleashes your ability to persevere and come out on top.

All of the success stories we have had have involved a lot of courage, a lot of bouncing back when all seemed lost, and usually meant carrying on even when it was easier to quit.

The best success stories involved the word RESILIENCE. The word resilience comes from a latin word “resilire”. It means “back” and “leap”. When we are resilient, we LEAP BACK up after getting knocked down.

If we are unable to rebound from setbacks and disappointments, we will never be able to reach our true potential.

We can do one of two things when adversity crosses our path.

We can view our life as if we are in pit, as if the rug has been pulled underneath us, and we’re in this deep hole we can’t get out of.

Or we can maintain our clear vision of what our life is about, how we want our bodies and minds to be again, and harness that adversity to take us to higher ground again.

If we have a strong and clear enough picture of what we want to become, if we feel it in our hearts and with reason in our minds, we can and will overcome anything.

If we view life as constantly looking forward, it means our greatest work and contribution is always ahead of us.

Putting the hard in is not always glamorous, it’s frequently tough, difficult, character testing, sometimes you don’t really want to do it, and most people find excuses not to do it. These are the facts.

The few that do though are the ones who deserve the success. If it was easy, then everyone would be in great shape without sacrificing a thing. Unfortunately, it never works out like that!

The harder you work and the more you show up, the better results you will have.

The harder the work, the more you will want to eat healthier, and you won’t want to blow all that hard work.

The harder you work, the more you find out about your character. How deep you can dig when you really need it.

The harder you work, the more you can apply it to other areas of your life. Your work ethic will naturally rise to brand new levels. You work hard in your training, and your new found focus and determination spreads to all areas of your life.

I recognise the people who work the hardest now straight away, because they are the individuals who have changed the most in all ways. When you work hard, all your expectations in everything rise automatically.

Be prepared to put the work in, and look forward to seeing and enjoying the great results that it’s guaranteed to bring.

Once you first start training, usually you will start improving and you begin the process of getting used to exercising and eating healthy.

Then you start to develop some momentum, and your body starts changing for the better and you start to feel a whole lot better too.

There is no real reason why you shouldn’t continue to improve either, but some things in life come up from time to time and some of you will get distracted and take some time off.

Here’s some research for you-for EVERY week you take off from training, it will take you ONE TO TWO weeks to get back to where you WERE. These studies were done on pro athletes, so these are used to training!

So not only will it take you a while to get you back into it, that great feeling of exercising and eating right that you have developed will take a while to feel again too.

The key here is not to take the breaks if you can help it.

Even 30 minutes of exercise will be beneficial instead of skipping it altogether, make that ten minutes even-just moving more helps!!

Many of you go through stressful times, that’s life, but exercising will help with those stress levels, keep your levels of wellbeing high and stop you going through the pain of getting back into it again!!!

The tough times will become good times again, just stick with your programme and make it work at all times for you.

If you want to reach for something higher in life, perhaps something you don’t think that right now you are capable of getting, then it’s no good reaching for a chair and doing it the easy way because it won’t work.

It’s always better to stand on all of the accomplishments you make for along the way, so you keep getting higher and higher and within reach of all your ambitions.

For example, if you see someone who has already lost 10-15 inches around their waist, then it’s not realistic to lose much that in just one month.

You need to found out how that was possible in the first place, and what sort of mindset got that person there eventually.

What were the ups and downs that happened along the way? How did they pick themselves up when they felt a bit down from life’s continuous challenges?

How did they go through the multiple weight training sessions along the way, changing their body each and every time?

How did they get to push that prowler across the car park that many times, and how did it feel to complete their first ever one?

How did they stick to their eating plan, when perhaps at times they felt enormous pressure to come off it?

It’s clear to see that if you want to become extremely successful with your health and fitness programme, you need to make a series of steps along the way, accomplish meaningful challenges at regular intervals and dig deep all the way through, especially when you have moments of doubt and indecision, and times when even your friends may be trying to put you off from going all the way and you finally achieving what you thought impossible only a short time ago.

Aim high and keep thinking big.

Great question today about which ONE exercise is best for core?

The best answer I always give to that question is that there isn’t just one exercise, it’s EVERYTHING IN YOUR PROGRAMME that will give you your best and strongest core.

We do everything for a reason, and all we do is aimed at getting your waist down, your hips down but not only that. You need to be much stronger with your core too because it’s the central source of power for your body, and where all your strength comes from too.

You work hard on your weights and your core is a prime mover on every exercise. As you lift more, your core gets stronger.

You put a lot of exercises in on the TRX, vipr, Bulgarian bag and your core takes a pounding. All of those movements require so much strength and power.

Your medicine ball work requires you to be a certain level on core strength before you even attempt it. Steadily increasing your tolerance to medicine ball exercise is critical for your overall development.

Think of the tyres outside, the sledgehammer, the prowler-all are massive power movements that hit your things, hamstrings, hips, stomach, back-all that are vital in making up your core.

When you run, when you sprint through our ladders, cones, hurdles etc, your core is on fire.

The workouts we do on the grass are absolutely massive for core as most of you will know, getting to work deeper into your muscles than ever before.

So the bottom line is that EVERYTHING works for you and a stronger core will make you look, perform and feel at your very best, so keep hitting it from all angles!!
