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!

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!

Sometimes it’s much better to have thunder than a gentle shower.

Monday is a typical example of that.

Most of you who get a workout in on a Monday always wonder why you are feeling so tired. The simple fact is that you have been probably resting up the weekend, you probably have eaten a little bit worse than normal meaning you have eaten “empty” calories devoid of energy that will make you even more tired.

So Monday is the time you really need to get going again, you need to set your stall out for the rest of the week, and you need to set your standards very high.

Get Monday right and the rest of your week will look great.

This is why our music is always like thunder, it’s always going to get you going, or shake you to your foundations, one or the two!

Monday is the day you need to be “all in” with your training. All in means you really give it everything, you get excited about your progress and you wonder how you can get even more out of your training.

With proper eating and rest, there’s no reason why you cant improve every single week. Stay positive and look how you can get even more out of yourself again.

Make Monday happen big time and feel the rewards for the rest of the week!!

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!!
