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.

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!!

Nothing happens until you start moving. When you move often and with purpose, you get results providing you are eating right.

You will start off slow and let’s say you work up to 45 mins to an hour, then you are doing well.

You will be doing even better when you start doing far more during that time. You will work with more intensity, you will lift more, you will bike and run harder, you will hit more prowlers than you ever thought possible and your core will become the strongest it’s ever been.

Then once you get to this stage, you will get used to doing and being asked to do “just that little bit more”!! You had better get used to me saying that.

This is the added spice of your workout, it’s that extra heat your body will get used to generating and making the
difference between getting good results and world-class results!

Do your workouts and then that little bit more.

Commit to your entire programme, and then that little bit more.

This little bit more pushes you through your limitations, and takes you to the places you never thought possible!

We try to create this throughout our programme and what we provide for you should always give you that little bit more. It’s hard not to be positive about your programme that will give you so much, make you much more positive and deliver you to a place that you can be proud of.

Every time you take time to train, give it your very best no matter how tiring your day was/is. Once the first 5 mins is over, you will feel like stepping it up and aiming to reach new highs every time.

You will know by now too that you will feel so much better afterwards, both mentally and physically. Every time let’s give it just that little bit more!!!

Your habits shape what you feel like, what you look like, what ambitions you have, how much energy you have, how positive you are, how hard you want to work, how much you’re going to develop-just about everything.

No one workout is going to give you everything you need.

No workout will make you a super athlete.

It’s the culmination of many workouts done over a substantial period of time that will make the big difference-don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Start missing workouts and the results will slow down and eventually come to a standstill.

Everything will start to become much harder when you do show up for your workouts and motivation will wane.

Same with your food. Start eating badly and skipping your good meal habits and you’re going to have poor workouts, your measurements will struggle that much more and guess what? Your motivation will disappear.

I always say that the most important workouts are the ones you may not feel like making, but you do anyway. When you get to the gym, you will always be glad you came and you will yet again be excited about the results you are going to get from it all.

When you train, you will be motivated to eat well too.

Now you’re on a roll again and you’re back in the groove of being successful again.

Habits are everything so don’t start neglecting them. Your habits will reward you constantly so put yourself first and keep doing the fundamentals really well!

Day 36 for most of you in this 12 week challenge and time to ask yourself a few important questions!

Are you getting big results still? From my records most of you still are! You should be very proud indeed so keep it going as you approach the halfway stage!!

Or has some negativity set in? Have you started to eat badly? Are you missing sessions for less and less important reasons?

Are you avoiding anything to do with exercising and eating well?

Are you true to yourself and remaining honest and accountable to yourself? As much as we want you to succeed, it is ultimately down to you and if you are not giving it your best, then you are unlikely to achieve the success you want unless you re-evaluate your commitment levels and what you are prepared to do to get it.

So those of you who are hitting some big numbers in your measurements, and performance numbers, this is the time to build on that big foundation you have!!!

Now is the time you go from doing well to being a contender to actually winning this thing.

Being your best in these 12 weeks means breaking away from the pack that maybe dictates what you do in life.

You have to say no to the friends who say its boring not to eat pizza midweek, the ones who tell you to get a life unless you drink all weekend every weekend.

People will question you as you get more and more successful. Some people won’t like you reaching your goals and beyond that again.

Realise that you are coming totally out of your comfort zone, that you are striving for more in life, and this success in your 12 weeks will mean your chances of success in every area of your life will increase dramatically too.

Now is exactly the time to really go for it, to test yourself like you’ve never done before so let’s give it everything you have!!!
