(a long post indeed but WORTH it)
Its mid January and 2 weeks in to the New Year you MIGHT be starting to slip on the New Years Resolutions
Running might not be getting the results you wanted
You feel like you don’t know what you are doing in the gym sooo tend to stick to some cardio and maybe one or two machines that are out of the way from the fit crowd
Classes are ok, you can get a spot at the back away from the instructor and do your thing…you seem to be working a sweat up but nothing seems to be changing
Or you just don’t know what to eat, you have been trying to ‘eat clean’ but you arent actually sure of exactly what that means
The co-workers or friends that started off the year gung-ho with you have started to dwindle, booze has started to creep back into the frame
There is so much contradicting and confusing information out there, on tv, from magazines, from family and friends
Your motivation is starting to drop slightly, maybe even doubting if you are the ‘type of person that can get fit’
This what I hear on a regular basis
More than I personally would like to
It shouldn’t be this way
It shouldn’t be this DIFFICULT
You should be able to TRUST the information that you hear to be correct from ALL sources
Im the first to admit that the industry is not a well managed one
Its far too easy to qualify as a personal trainer, with a lot of uneducated ‘lets beast you to get results’ trainers
AND as much as you think being a pt might be a case of getting people to workout for a couple of hours a week
IT REALLY ISNT
The truth is that getting in shape takes hard work and effort
But more than this it takes CONSISTENT hard work and effort
Anyone selling you quick and easy results is looking for a quick and easy buck
It takes MORE than just a workout
It requires a process to make sure you develop new habits, skills, procedures, patterns
All that need planning, working out what suits you best, implementing and monitoring
Help to get back on track when it DOES go off rails..as it will
Advice to make sure its sustainable…whos going to do the cambridge diet forever?
It takes being able to separate the bullshit from the sound ‘non sparkly’ advice
You need to learn all this…otherwise how are you ever going to carry it on beyond the short term most people are interested in?
YES its costly, especially for a good personal trainer
A lot of background work goes into the planning, nutrition coaching, but it saves TIME, money in the long run from wasted diet shakes, dvds, online wasted training or whatever snake oil scheme thats out there
Training at home saves you sitting in traffic travelling to your gym
when you could be playing with your kids, cooking, doing a bit of work or whatever it is that is better than getting around London by car
Its training in an environment where you are comfortable, no cares about who is watching you or if they are judging you, listening to your own music, relaxed…and more importantly enjoying it!
This is worth the cost …as should your HEALTH ultimately be to you
This isnt a sales letter its a reality check
To make changes requires a change of approach…if its not working …IT ISNT WORKING
it wont suddenly start working unless one or all of the parts required is PROPERLY changed
Advice is FREE
Id rather you were bombarding me with questions, than wasting time listening to what TOWIE has to say
Even the body coaches recipe book is a little off the mark (ASK me about the 1200 calorie single serving meal in there!!)
Just ask away
Ill tell you how it IS
REAL talk
