Here we go…2 months in the States🇺🇸🇺🇸

Set up base camp✅
Night one exploring NYC by night✅

Going to be one hell of a ride… An Adventure of a lifetime!

Can’t wait for the placement with Stony Brook University provided by IUSCA and Andrew Langford 🤓🏈⚽️🏀🇺🇸

Soooo... You may or may not have noticed I have been SUPER quiet on here recently...

I've been rather busy!

A - with MSc work (dissertation proposals)

B - Uni Placements (the exciting bit)

C - Focussing on my own Progress

I have been super lucky to be working with two outstanding Sports Clubs in:



Both amazing opportunities, with the Bulls I am currently working as an Assistant S&C coach with their academy.

With Wakey Trinity, I am the Head of S&C also, Assistant Manager of the U21's Team, a bright and upcoming team with a big future.

Therefore, I thought I'd give you some insight into my current situation and why "Time" Cannot be a barrier to YOUR success in achieving YOUR GOALS.

So I currently work everyday in some capacity...

Monday:
A.M - PT
P.M - Bradford Bulls U18

Tuesday:
A.M - PT and Uni
P.M - PureGym Shift & Wakefield Trinity

Wednesday:
A.M - Off
P.M - Bradford Bulls U18/16s

Thursday:
A.M - Puregym Shift & PT
P.M - Wakefield Trinity

Friday:
A.M - Puregym Shift & PT
P.M - Off

Saturday:
All day - Off (play football)

Sunday:
A.M - Off
P.M - Wakefield trinity

With that Schedule, I am still able to, albeit resentfully manage:

- 3-4 regular Gym sessions in a week
- 10-12k Steps a day
- Track Calories (not always perfect but still tracking them)
- Play the sport I love at least once per week
- Have a Social Life...

Now you tell me You, on your 9-5, Mon-Fri struggle to get to the gym even once a week? Struggle to track calories? Steps?

I call BU****IT

You're not prioritising your health nor your goals...

If it means something to you, you would do something about it. SIMPLE AS THAT.

Now I get motivation bounces up and down especially at this time of year, with Christmas coming up and the weather turning...

But again they're just excuses you are allowing to control you.

Your Actions Define YOU. Make Them Count.

There is no time like the present. Don't sit back and regret the actions you didn't take.

Training in the heat🏋🏼‍♂️☀️😎

So, here are my Top 5 tips for combatting the heat while going to the gym!

1. Drink plenty of water aiming for a minimum of 2litres per day, with at least 0.5L before training.

2. Train when cooler, simply get effective avoid doing exercise during the middle of the day

3. Wear minimalist and light clothing a simple yet effective way of avoiding excessive sweat loss and dehydration

4. Remember to refuel post workout, vital during hot weather like this. Dehydration is a killer, ensure you replace water, electrolytes and salt as well as always getting in some protein!

5. Listen to your body, training at your usual intensity may not be the smartest idea. Potentially look at taking 5-10% off or achieve near failure but not quite full failure. As exhaustion can lead to illness during heat like this🤮

These apply to training outdoors too, however, if outdoors remember to apply that sunscreen🧴😅

Fat loss can be hard.
⠀
In fact IT IS HARD.
⠀
And it should be in my opinion, you got yourself in the situation one way or another potentially it may or may not be directly your fault but it was still you.
⠀
It should serve as a reminder for those who chose to better themselves not to let themselves go again, as they will have to go through the journey/battle once again...
⠀
With that being said, we want to enable as many people as possible to lose weight as that would lead to a healthier society, healthier people, healthier relationships etc...
⠀
Therefore there is a need to simplify fat loss.
⠀
𝙎𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙮 = “𝙏𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙤”
⠀
And as we’ve just discussed, fat loss isn’t easy, so therefore we must make it 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱.
⠀
By improving the simplicity of fat loss, the process will become easier to navigate and the likelihood of success increased🙌🏻
⠀
However...
⠀
People seem to want quick fixes easy alternatives and look to over complicate things.
⠀
Through the use of Fad diets and/or super strict regimented lifestyles - 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 ❌
⠀
Why would you want to increase the amount of stress put on oneself?
⠀
Isn’t life stressful enough? Why add more pressure of trying to remove whole macronutrients from your diet or fasting all morning/evening?!
⠀
Life should be about balance, about being sustainable while still making progress towards that fat loss goal!
⠀
The reason for this post...
⠀
Trying to show you how to make life easier for yourself, how to actually make progress by understanding the process.
⠀
Obviously the process is person dependant, but it gives you a nice guideline to follow if you’re not sure where to start✅
⠀
If you have any questions or need help in setting up your own process, drop me a message saying “ 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦” and I’ll do the rest and get you on your way to losing fat🙌🏻

1-1 online Coaching Clients Results

⠀
So Harry came to me with the goal of getting back into fitness and getting leaner...
⠀
As many of us, he’d put on some body fat throughout previous lockdowns
⠀
No shame in that, however he decided he wanted to do something about it.
⠀
Harry wanted to get leaner but wasn’t quite sure how... he understood core principles but lacked nutritional and training knowledge
⠀
So rewind 12 weeks ago, Harry and I began the process, initially Harry struggled with time
⠀
He’s a busy working man earning a living, sometimes working up to 12+ hours!
⠀
Therefore we knew getting him exercising wasn’t going to be easy especially since we started during a lockdown
⠀
However, credit to Harry he had some kit at home and did absolutely everything he could even going out for runs regularly
⠀
The most important changes though for Harry were:
1. reducing the amount of alcohol consumption
2. Focusing on Smarter Nutrition choices
3. Increasing his NEAT (non exercise activity thermogenesis)
⠀
Sounds so simple yet Harry like many others wasn’t able to achieve this by himself.
⠀
That’s where I came in, I held him accountable, encouraging him & educating him about exercise and nutrition
⠀
The things he learnt, he quickly put into place and started to notice results when he applied his knowledge into actions.
⠀
That old chestnut of “actions speak louder than words” rings true for Harry and many of you too!
⠀
If you are like Harry, struggling for direction, lacking the knowledge or just struggling to keep yourself accountable and seem to find yourself trapped in a constant cycle of trying to get leaner but never quite managing it...
⠀
Drop me a message quoting “Results” and I can get you exactly what you’re asking for. All I ask of you is you become an action taker on the knowledge I provide you.
