Fixing any holes in your programme is the biggest thing you can do if you’ve not being getting the progress you would like.

Its similar to the old story about the farmer who had a hole in his fence and sheep kept escaping out of it all the time. He would spend all day chasing sheep down, picking them up again and returning them to the field.

Once he got all the sheep back into the field, he found he had no other time to do his other farming work. He was literally the most inefficient farmer around and worst of all, he was dog tired every day and not achieving anything!

One day he woke up and realised that all of these sheep were pouring through the very same hole in the fence following each other out. It occurred to him that if he actually fixed the hole, then he would have no sheep escaping, and could get on with his normal productive farm work and actually earn some money!

If you’re not achieving what you want out of your programme, its time to fix those holes that are causing continuous problems.

The “holes” in your programme could be any of the following, or even worse all which creates one big hole and this is when your programme collapses and you go backwards very quickly and start piling on weight quickly! You then wonder where the weight is coming from and may start feeling sorry for yourself, lets stop that right in its tracks and figure out why your programme isnt working!

Number 1- you’re not doing at least 3 workouts a week

Number 2-you’re not doing any strength/resistance work to stimulate lean muscle tissue, which automatically makes your metabolism burn faster!

Number 3-You’re not doing any outside workouts, running, cycling, fast walking, are all great workouts guaranteed to make you feel so much better!

Number 4-80% of your food isn’t good nutritious food. The bulk of your food needs to be fresh, natural and good for you, theres time for treats too, but only in moderation and only once or twice a week max!

Number 4-you’re not eating regular and leaving too long in between meals and snacks. You need to eat small amounts every 3-4 hours to keep blood sugar levels steady, stopping wild binges on food.

Number 5-You’re not consistent. If you’re not doing a combination of all of these things, at least 3 good workouts a week, at least 80% of your food of good quality, drinking enough water throughout the day (1.5-2 litres), then you wont be successful!!!

Let’s keep it simple and fix those holes and save yourself a lifetime of heartache and frustration!!!!!!
