Always remember that making tough choices today for the greater good leads to an easier life. The pay offs will be huge. Eating healthy all the time isn’t always easy, but it will keep your body resilient and your immune system strong. Exercising hard will keep your body flexible, strong and you be much more likely to stay injury free.

If you take the easy choices, then are likely building a tough life because avoiding doing the work has consequences, You will only get stiffer, you will have zero energy, your mental health will suffer and avoiding doing the right things will only see problems pile up in your life.

Tough choices and doing tough things means creating an easier life.

Taking easy choices means living a tough life.

The choice has never been clearer.

The “fat cat” is not to be admired, it is a sign of being at your weakest and most vulnerable, just as you over-congratulate yourself.

The alligator is a very powerful animal, capable of ripping any other animal apart.

That is UNTIL it has had a big meal, and has to rest for a long time afterwards. That is when the aalligator is MOST vulnerable to attack.The navy seals in their infamous “hell week” of training when they try to break their new hopeful recruits, all of a sudden will bring them in for a hot shower and a big meal, the hope is the recruits will find it so comforting after being wet, tired and cold for a few days, the recurits will “ring the bell” and not want to go back out there, because they have been weak again by the prospect of home comforts again.You may have had a great monday but if you become too comfortable by eating rubbish afterwards, then you are making yourself weaker just when you could be getting stronger.

All those goals you had (losing body fat, maybe geting your blood pressure good again, building muscle, getting your mental health better) won’t happen unless you keep showing up, training hard and eating right afterwards, and being ultra-consistent with that process, espeically in the week when there’s no other excuses acceptable not to be doing the right thing!Don’t be the fat cat, be the one who’s always looking for more and to only build on the success you keep having.

Setting the tone early in your week should be your highest priority.

Lots of you made your early week workout this morning, and gave yourself every chance of succeeding. You bought in fully to what we are trying to do, got stronger, got faster and did your best on everything.

After that, your week can only get better, you have given yourself every chance of getting high energy in your life, big motivation to drive you onto further workouts, and a sense of purpose to finish off this week the best you can.

When you are fully committed you show up and thrive on the challenges we have set you. Monday shouldn’t be a day of half measures, there’s no “duvet day”, there’s no let’s watch back to back episodes of your favourite TV show, and there’s definitely no putting things off “until later in the week”-TODAY matters and what you actually do matters much more.

Set the tone strongly and put the odds firmly in your favour for the week!
