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!

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!!

Visualisation is the first key to a successful future.

The best way to predict the future is to see it and then create it by doing it.

The hurdles and challenges we face are sometimes very tough, but being able to see what is ahead unleashes your ability to persevere and come out on top.

All of the success stories we have had have involved a lot of courage, a lot of bouncing back when all seemed lost, and usually meant carrying on even when it was easier to quit.

The best success stories involved the word RESILIENCE. The word resilience comes from a latin word “resilire”. It means “back” and “leap”. When we are resilient, we LEAP BACK up after getting knocked down.

If we are unable to rebound from setbacks and disappointments, we will never be able to reach our true potential.

We can do one of two things when adversity crosses our path.

We can view our life as if we are in pit, as if the rug has been pulled underneath us, and we’re in this deep hole we can’t get out of.

Or we can maintain our clear vision of what our life is about, how we want our bodies and minds to be again, and harness that adversity to take us to higher ground again.

If we have a strong and clear enough picture of what we want to become, if we feel it in our hearts and with reason in our minds, we can and will overcome anything.

If we view life as constantly looking forward, it means our greatest work and contribution is always ahead of us.
