When you look back at your life, the moments you will be most proud of will likely be the ones where you stepped out of your comfort zone in the pursuit of something you believed in.

Don’t allow the lull of comfort to stop you getting what you really want.

If you don’t go for it this time, then you will keep putting it off until it’s so far at the back of your mind you never get it done.

Allow yourself to dream big, to set big goals, and focus on things that really stretch you.

It’s never too late. Each day is an opportunity to start again, to move in a new direction or confirm the good direction you are already on.

If you’re honest with yourself, you will know where you are playing it safe and where you could do better or improve upon.

You can’t choose safety when you are trying to get the best out of yourself every day.

You can’t pursue greatness AND comfort at the same time.

Step out of your comfort zone in set some goals to get there. It’s all about growing as a person too.

A good strategy is to tell a close friend of a goal you really want to achieve, and tell them to check in on you regularly to see how you are getting on.

Do the same for them so you can both keep a focus and work towards something together.

Make sure you both celebrate the goals when you get there!!

When you know what you have to do, how often you should train, what foods you should eat and when-it’s still absolutely vital to STAY FOCUSED all the way through.

Most people start their journey with laser-like focus and resolve, but along the way, all these interesting “alternative routes” pop up, and they start taking unnecessary detours.

What many of these people discover, and one of the things that you might have learned also, is that once you go off course, its hard to get back on track.

You lose your momentum at least, and you may even get completely lost.

The fastest way to get from point A to point B is with a STRAIGHT LINE.

This means we need to avoid detours and dead ends, and do whatever we can to rise above the clutter (misinformation, myths, fitness frauds and fads), and fly a direct route to your destination.

You need to stay on the path and not get distracted. Stay strong and finish even stronger. When you do this, you can make a remarkable transformation in your body and mind, and faster than you ever thought possible.

Keep hitting your sessions hard, keep eating well and keep your mind focused on doing well and don’t tell anyone put you off. Staying the course is the most important thing, making sessions even when you don’t want to make them, and trying to keep improving each and every week. This is when the big results happen!

Big moments in your progress, both inside and out, come together once you get your programme working for you in all areas.

Committing yourself to training a minimum of three times a week is vital. Then you will realise the big positive impact it’s having on your life in all areas.

You will get rid of ugly habits and replace them with healthy ones, but ugly habits can sometimes creep back in when you least expect them.

Something stressful may happen that sets you back, causing you to revert to your old comforts. You may skip a workout and stay home.

You may reach for ice cream instead of healthy food when you are stressed out.

We all do it from time to time, but your ability to recognise when ugly habits reappear will help you stop them dead in their tracks.

The most important thing to remember is tomorrow is a new day.

If you eat something bad, miss a workout, train with less effort than normal, then don’t let it get you down.

We all deserve a break sometimes, and small little slip ups are never going to ruin your progress overall.

Remember why you got into this programme in the first place, how you want your body to look, even if it’s a bad week, get back in the saddle and start where you left off.

If things get too ugly and you feel helpless, then contact us and we will help you get right back into it and back in the groove again. Everyone makes good progress, but everyone gets moments of doubt and falls off the wagon from time to time.

Your next workout is your most important session when it comes to making sure your improvements come thick and fast. If you aren’t training a minimum of 3 times a week, you are unlikely to be improving as well as you could be.

Missing workouts is the single biggest factor in you never realising your potential.

If you miss a week, then it will take you 1-2 weeks to get back to normal.

Miss a month and you will find it very hard just to get back into training again.

Consistency will always be your best friend.

100% of the time, the individuals you see with before and after photos that are impressive are always the ones who never miss a session, always workout hard to the best of their ability, and are totally committed to taking that next step forward all the time.

Your next workout should be one of fresh opportunity, fresh optimism, and a realisation that you will have even more endurance and strength to push yourself that little bit more next time.

Big changes in your body are the results of many, many workouts where you gave that little bit more each time.

When you change your body, you change your mind very much for the better too. You think better and more clearly, you become stronger and you become much more positive.

Looking forward to workouts and fresh improvements every week is entirely possible. Showing up regularly is your most important step every time, even if at times you don’t even feel like it after a tough day.

Keep making it happen and see the progress continuing!!

We all love our comfort zones.

We all have our favourite clothes, our favourite friends, our favourite foods etc.

We make our favourite dishes because we know the hands that made it, how it was prepared and we knew it was a safe dish.

We wear the same clothes because they are comfortable and familiar. They may not be in fashion any more but for some reason they feel good on.

Our friends make us feel safe and secure, and we are content to stick with them, shying away from the risks required to form new friendships.

But the facts are that most of what we want and look for that is meaningful and significant is just beyond the edge of our comfort zone. If we never push ourselves further than we think we can go, we will never get out of our comfort zone, and achieve what we really think is possible.

You have to jump “all in” to your health and fitness programme. You can’t go half-hearted with your exercises programme, training 4 times one week and once the next for example, you need to be giving it everything you have, this is when great success happens.

You can’t eat good food now and again and expect to be in shape and have an abundance of energy. Going “all in” with your nutritional programme means getting amazing results, but you have to leave your comfort zone each day until you get used to what it feels like to “eat clean”.

It’s vital we all reach, stretch and expand from where we are now, if we want to keep on achieving more we need to get off the sidelines and start playing the game. Immersing ourselves in action is the one thing we can do immediately!
