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!!

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.

Once you first start training, usually you will start improving and you begin the process of getting used to exercising and eating healthy.

Then you start to develop some momentum, and your body starts changing for the better and you start to feel a whole lot better too.

There is no real reason why you shouldn’t continue to improve either, but some things in life come up from time to time and some of you will get distracted and take some time off.

Here’s some research for you-for EVERY week you take off from training, it will take you ONE TO TWO weeks to get back to where you WERE. These studies were done on pro athletes, so these are used to training!

So not only will it take you a while to get you back into it, that great feeling of exercising and eating right that you have developed will take a while to feel again too.

The key here is not to take the breaks if you can help it.

Even 30 minutes of exercise will be beneficial instead of skipping it altogether, make that ten minutes even-just moving more helps!!

Many of you go through stressful times, that’s life, but exercising will help with those stress levels, keep your levels of wellbeing high and stop you going through the pain of getting back into it again!!!

The tough times will become good times again, just stick with your programme and make it work at all times for you.

If you want to reach for something higher in life, perhaps something you don’t think that right now you are capable of getting, then it’s no good reaching for a chair and doing it the easy way because it won’t work.

It’s always better to stand on all of the accomplishments you make for along the way, so you keep getting higher and higher and within reach of all your ambitions.

For example, if you see someone who has already lost 10-15 inches around their waist, then it’s not realistic to lose much that in just one month.

You need to found out how that was possible in the first place, and what sort of mindset got that person there eventually.

What were the ups and downs that happened along the way? How did they pick themselves up when they felt a bit down from life’s continuous challenges?

How did they go through the multiple weight training sessions along the way, changing their body each and every time?

How did they get to push that prowler across the car park that many times, and how did it feel to complete their first ever one?

How did they stick to their eating plan, when perhaps at times they felt enormous pressure to come off it?

It’s clear to see that if you want to become extremely successful with your health and fitness programme, you need to make a series of steps along the way, accomplish meaningful challenges at regular intervals and dig deep all the way through, especially when you have moments of doubt and indecision, and times when even your friends may be trying to put you off from going all the way and you finally achieving what you thought impossible only a short time ago.

Aim high and keep thinking big.
