Nobody can stop you from choosing to be exceptional at anything you decide to do. The hardest part is starting, then if you show enough enthusiasm and start getting results, then usually others will want you to help them in their pursuits too, this is how important going after things with everything you have actually is.

If you still are undecided about getting active or doing just about anything, fast forward your life to a year from now, and you will probably wish you started today after all. Nobody has a day or week to waste, leave alone a year.

Once you get fit and healthy, you will become more positive because you will start to believe in your ability more, one step leads to another positive step.

You will have more appetite for life, more enthusiasm, more passion, you will make more commitment to other things you’ve wanted to do, you will try more things even if you fail, because you know that if you keep on going you will get there in the end because you have had challenges through exercise, and although you may have struggled initially, you taught yourself to keep on going and get through it no matter what.

You will grow as a person because you are going through more experiences and challenges all the time, and you will develop an appetite for change-one thing we are guaranteed to experience in life is change so we need to embrace it, and never hide from it.

The biggest impact we can make though is make a difference to others. If we are running a business, we want to impact others like nobody else has before. Impacting someone else’s health in a positive way is a great and rewarding responsibility to have.

When you get healthy, you are not only helping yourself, you develop the energy to help others in their lives too, your positive attitude will encourage others to change too for the better no matter how low they feel.

It all starts with the choice you make right now.

3 DAYS into your programme and many of you have been feeling tired after it. This is normal. The big change will create the need for a big effort in your body, so you will have to step up to the plate and deliver a big performance each time.

ONE of the biggest factors you may be ignoring is your need for RECOVERY. Two massive things required for this. Eating right straight after a workout is imperative! Getting protein and carbs in after a workout helps you recover quicker, heal your muscles quicker and get energy back for the next workout.

SLEEP-this is massively underrated. If you are not sleeping enough, then you will not recover anywhere near as well as you need to. If you don’t get enough sleep, then taking naps in the day is perfectly acceptable and to be encouraged.

These 2 recovery strategies are things you need to make happen RIGHT NOW. You will sleep more after a tough workout, your body does go through far more nutrients and energy for a big workout.

There are IMMEDIATE big boosts you can give yourself right now so please let the science of recovery really help you.

Stay strong,
Keri

You will always miss all the shots you NEVER take is an old saying. Taking your “shot” every day is compulsory, seizing every opportunity makes great sense or at least you should make it compulsory in your life.

If you don’t have a go, then how are you going to succeed? How many times have you been in a group chat, an office, a workplace of any kind and all of you discussing what would have happened if you did this or that?

Don’t become a “coulda, woulda, shoulda” type of person, reflecting on past regrets and cursing the “perfect” set of circumstances never came to you so you could succeed.

Talking about it, and never getting around to taking action is something you need to get out of. Isn’t getting fit and healthy on most people’s to do lists but never gets done?

Commitment to taking action every day will bring you big and unexpected rewards.

Businesses never get anywhere if they JUST TALK about “possible” oil wells, they actually achieve things when they DRILL for oil. It may not mean a perfect hit first time, but if they keep trying knowing they are in the right area, chances are that good things will happen as long as they keep on going.

It’s the actual drilling that really dictates how far you have got, the results you have obtained and where you are.

You can do survey after survey, consultations on this on that, have endless meetings and put off yet more meetings into the future, it’s a way of life for many organisations/businesses etc. Most agree that this way of working never usually gets things done and destroys or dilutes great ideas and ambition.

Results matter-all of this always come from daily action, having a go even though you may not be 100% successful all of the time, eventually you will get it right.

Ready, fire, aim-in that order makes perfect sense.

All of us change, slowly in most cases, into the person we end up being. Our business changes, people around us change and what we expect changes.

Are you fitter than one year, have you really learnt more, are you more positive than one year ago, do you help more people now because of your experiences, and have you more optimism for the future?

Are you on a hopeful, optimistic path and open to change and possibility?

Have you finally starting believing that you need a sensible, regular exercise programme, and a long term healthy eating programme, and have you finally kicked quick fixes into touch finally realising that they are a waste of time, money and they destroy you emotionally too?

We as a gym always want to AVOID being a business that plays the short game, the one who takes short cuts, the one that sells you pills and powders that mess up your body and mind, we will always be the one that never makes false promises about losing huge amounts of weight recklessly and in short periods of time. Most of you now have hopefully figured those type of weight-loss scam artists out by now.

As a gym, we always think long term, what’s the very best thing you can do, whilst still thinking what’s best for your back, knees etc. What is really the best strategy for you to achieve whatever you want deep down, this is always what’s vital to us.

When you look back at your life, you will realise we all have choices to leave a great legacy, what we became, how much we cared about people, and what difference we made to others.

In an age of getting your “15 minutes of fame” is really important to some, it’s vital to realise that you must play the long game to make sure you have a positive impact on everyone around you, to be in the best health possible.

We are always “becoming”, and we must always realise that everyday we have the opportunity to become something else, someone that gives value to others and most importantly give ourselves that deep down satisfying feeling we are doing our best and really creating change for the better.

None of us will get fit at exactly the same rate, some will go slower, some faster depending on how much work they put into it, but EVERYONE is capable of getting fitter and healthier than they have ever done before.

If you show up and exercise a minimum of three times a week, then good things will happen for you, because you are exposing your body to the right amount of stimulus to improve.

If you aim long term to eat well 80% of the time, still enjoying occasional treats which is realistic, then your body will look after you and high energy levels will return to your life.

The main reason i find that individuals improve quicker than others is consistency of doing the right things. I find that it often doesn’t matter how physically gifted some people are, it’s the person that’s willing to work the hardest over a long period of time will always be the highest achiever.

The biggest enhancer of progress that can happen for you is realising that mindset is the secret link, your “x factor”, your most powerful weapon in all of this coming together.

Staying on course is often dictated by how focused you are and your willingness to do the simple things right time after time. After your initial “honeymoon” period of starting training, you will soon realise that staying on your programme brings some challenges, and the sooner you bring an achievable structure to your lifestyle the better.

Just like booking an appointment with the doctor or dentist, make time for your workouts three times a week. Find a time that nothing can get in the way of. Once you get used to training, you will be more productive in all areas of your life, for the time you invest in every training session will be rewarded many times over.

When you do your food shopping, make sure most of it is healthy, as everything you bring into your house will get eaten, bring multipack crisps or chocolate bars in and they WILL get eaten. Nothing wrong with treats here and there but the foundation of what you eat needs to be good. You can’t out-train a bad diet.

For your mind, reading positive books or media everyday helps a lot. The biggest thing of all is to surround yourself with positive people and influences. Avoid those who drag you down and put you off trying to better yourself. Trust opinions of those who are experienced and have a track record in what you are interested in-A much quicker way of seeking advice.

Stay consistent, stay positive and try your best to stay on the path you set yourself when you first dreamt up what you really want out of your health and fitness programme.
