I totally get it 🤷🏻‍♂️ You want to lose weight NOW Not in 6 months… and certainly not in a year! Nowadays we’re so used to getting things quickly: Amazon Prime, Netflix etc Sadly though, our body hasn’t kept up with society. Changing your body takes time … … at least in a healthy way! I often find that we’re so focused on the scale, that we often forget all the other little improvements that are happening. E.g. ✅ More energy
✅ Stronger
✅ Clothes fitting better
✅ Improved habits & knowledge
✅ More confidence
✅ Improved body composition If we ONLY focus on losing X number of kgs, then we won’t be happy until we get there That’s a lot of time feeling dissatisfied! Instead we need to focus on enjoying the process Small daily wins add up over time When we do this, we feel like we’re always succeeding (which we are!) So don’t get down on yourself if the scale doesn’t move for a week or two Keep doing the little things that you truly know will work and celebrate the fact that you accomplish them It will make the road to your ultimate goal much more enjoyable 😊 *************** Does your fat-loss journey need a kick start?

For BUSY people, the best time to train is almost always when it is most convenient. Deciding when we train is most likely something out of our control, particularly when we are sucked into the hustle and bustle of a 9 to 5 job. So while training performance may differ at different times of the day, it is far more important that we get into the habit of weight training full stop, regardless of timings. ----- Does your fat-loss journey need a kick start?

What No One Tells You About Losing Weight 🙏 Fr

What No One Tells You About Losing Weight 🙏 From my experience, consistently “good enough” ALWAYS beast inconsistently “perfect” This isn’t me encouraging you to aim low or half-ass it It’s my way of empowering you to... 1️⃣ Stop beating yourself up about that takeaway you had last week It’s not going to make or break your progress. Remember, you’re never more than one decision away from being right back on track And just like no-one ever got muscly from one workout or skinny from one salad, no one ever got fat from one calorific meal So, relax. Enjoy the indulgence! Then get back on track After all, you’re not a robot, so stop comparing yourself to one 🤖 100% perfect is unrealistic & merely sets us up for failure 🤦🏻 2️⃣ Stop wasting your time waiting for the “perfect” opportunity Because it’s never going to come. Seriously. You’ll always be busy. You’ll always have other things to take care of. You’ll rarely (if ever) think you’re 100% ready to dive in head first and nail “perfection” There will never be a “perfect” time. And there doesn’t need to be! You just need to get started and get that ball rolling. So, stop waiting. Go do it… now! 😉 A great start would be downloading our free eBook “Fundamentals of Fat Loss” Link in bio ☝🏻 Stay awesome & keep going, Luke

“I Wish I’d Known This Earlier” 🙈 Said a client to me today ... When we first started, his top 3 priorities were: 1️⃣ Losing Weight
2️⃣ Losing Weight
3️⃣ Losing Weight In his own words, he'd been "a little obsessed" with the bathroom scales for 10 years In the last 6 months, he’s burned 11kg of bodyfat And, sure, he’s thrilled to bits – I am too! But, to his surprise, the biggest improvements to his quality of life have been found elsewhere ⬆️ If your fat-loss journey needs a boost, you could download our free eBook “Fundamentals of Fat Loss” Link in bio ☝🏻 Stay awesome & keep going, Luke

A Constant Journey of Self Improvement We all mak

A Constant Journey of Self Improvement We all make mistakes. Simply put, mistakes are inevitable and a necessary part of the process. The most important thing is that we take criticism onboard and use it to bulletproof our mindset 🧠💪. The more mistakes we make, and take on board, the more efficient our training, nutrition and recovery gets. With this, our ability and willingness to make future change develops as well, leading to a healthy life long relationship with growth and development, inside and outside of the gym.

A Part of My Head Still Thinks It's 2009 😆 What I'm saying is that time passes quickly! Also, from my experience ...

It’s a beautiful moment every time it happens 🙏🏻
⁣
When a client identifies “the person they wish to become” It's a breakthrough, and I always find it powerful At times it even makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end! Now I’m not talking about goals here I’m not talking about the fact we might want to lose weight, tone up or get strong I’m talking about something deeper & more important I’m talking about the WHY that underpins the goals Some of my favourites include … ➡️ Wanting to be healthy for my family
➡️ Wanting to attract the “right” partner into my life
➡️ Wanting the confidence to put myself “out there”
➡️ Wanting the self-belief to progress in my career
➡️ Wanting to be an inspiring role model for my children
➡️ Wanting to knock down the body-image barriers that hold me back
⁣
Once this moment happens, I know we’re halfway there
⁣
No more bouncing around looking for motivation No more procrastination
⁣
When we have clarity on WHY we want change, we identify “the person we wish to become”
⁣
And let me be clear, there is NO greater driver for habit change So ask yourself: Who do YOU wish to become? What would THEY do?
⁣
When we know the answer to these questions, ⁣we’re halfway there And when we’re armed with a sustainable & effective strategy, there's no holding us back Mindset underpins everything If you want to tools to start YOUR fat-loss journey, download our free eBook “Fundamentals of Fat Loss” Link in bio ☝🏻 Stay awesome & keep going, Luke

An important part of the fat loss journey is that we remove guess work from the equation, and that we base our decision making on facts. This removes so much of the mental stress associated with being in a calorie deficit. Am I in a consistent calorie deficit? 📉

Ever considered that your character might be holdi

Ever considered that your character might be holding you back? 🤔 If you resonate with being laid back and a procrastinator, perhaps the following will resonate with you too … ➡️ Preferring to keep your options open & be flexible
➡️ Preferring spontaneity over planning
➡️ Enjoying variety
➡️ Valuing experiences & memories over setting long-term goals Sound familiar? If so, then maybe you’re what Myers Briggs Personality Typing refers to as a “Perceiving Type” – or a “P” Now, of course, there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m sure your “P” traits serve your happiness in many areas of your life. However … I guarantee you they’re not helping you achieve your fat-loss goals Why? Because fat-loss success is built upon habits. Habits alone are the vehicle through which we can achieve consistency. And consistency is the name of the fat-loss game. No habits -> no consistency -> no sustainable progress. The opposite of the “P” is the “Judging Type” – the “J”. Such traits include … ➡️ A preference towards structure & planning
➡️ Being organised & well prepared
➡️ Enjoying routine, structure & a clear plan of action “J” traits facilitate habit development, whilst “P” traits hamper it For this reason, I find that “Ps” are significantly more likely to chase quick fixes and short-term solutions. They’re significantly more likely to be “all or nothing” in their thinking. They’re significantly less likely to establish sustainable lifestyle change. If you’re a “P” and you’re tired of this rollercoaster, perhaps it’s time to embrace a few more “J” traits into your health & fitness. I promise you it will make all the difference long term. For any “P” I’ve ever coached, driving self-awareness & teaching them how to be more “J” is always the first step. Make no mistake, when it comes to fat-loss, mindset underpins everything If you’re not sure where to start with this, we can help.
