It's as fun as it looks 🫠

But it needs to be done.

Small improvements are improvements

If getting injured was an Olympic sport I would win gold every time.

- So what happened?

A re-injury of an old injury. Specifically my AC Joint decided to take a holiday. Rotator cuff might've tagged along too but that's still to be confirmed.

- What does that mean?

Basically my arm has limited movement; can't raise it above a certain point, push things away or hold my body weight....which eliminates 75% of what I do in the gym.

- What am I doing to recover?

Moving. Contrary to what you might think, moving it (within a pain threshold) is helping. If I do nothing it gets stiff, so in this case movement is medicine.

It's not ideal but it's not my first rodeo either.

Sometimes life offers you a sh*t sandwich, but you've gotta put some ketchup on it and get it down you and out the way as quick as you can.

Results aren't only about how you look on the surface.

While a before and after photo is amazing, it's results like this that are truly inspiring.

My client Jen has been with me since day one (give or take).

She was active and athletic, more at home in a circus than a gym.

Life took over and after growing her family and enduring unexpected hypothyroid issues she gained weight and didn't recognise herself in the mirror.

She wanted that to change but her hypothyroidism slowed her down.

She reached out to me for help.

Not just to lose weight, but to get back into aerial hoop acrobatics, something she was talented at.

We built a plan specifically for that - weight loss she could manage and adding gymnastic elements for variety and a fun challenge to each session.

The plan was to start slow to avoid her thyroid flare-ups and gradually ramp up the intensity to where she could confidently push herself and walk out feeling accomplished.

Over time the hypothyroidism vanished, her strength blew up and the weight fell off.

Things were going so well she fell back in love with aerial hoop acrobatics and has since started her own fitness venture - ‘Highflyers Aerial Fitness’, introducing a new and unique way of keeping people active and inspiring confidence in others through her own experience (and charm).

I honestly couldn’t be more proud.

Feeling lost and out of shape? Want to lose weight and get stronger? Message me directly and let’s work together.

Only a few months in with Michael and we're barely scratching the surface.

Getting stronger and feeling fitter was the goal.

This is the result...

Strength numbers are up across the board

Isn't feeling starved

Waistline is down ... a lot ...

Feeling confident, capable and absolutely buzzing with his progress!

"Honestly, proper buzzing!! I knew it would change but didn't expect it that quickly!!"

What could you achieve in a few months?

Daddy Daughter Thursday

The best day of the week.

It's a day of reflection, a reminder of what matters and a fantastic excuse for ice cream ... no shame.

It's the one day I can completely switch off and enjoy being a dad and where mum can catch a break.

Parent or not, we could all do with our own 'DDT' (not the WWE kind).

A chance to slow down

Fresh perspectives

To think outside of the box

And just have fun

I've always been very active so seeing this was a bit of an eye opener.

On the left, I was at what I would consider my peak performance. I was cycling everywhere, training 5+ times/week, playing rugby, jiu-jitsu, cardio was on point, I was running fast and lifting heavy.

In the middle, I'm at the tail end of my sympathy pregnancy. I'm constantly injured, eating for 3 (or 30 some days), breathing heavily doing simple tasks and really hating the way I looked and felt. Going from feeling like a fine-tuned machine to a sack of spuds wasn't on the agenda 😂

On the right, I got control of my nutrition; admittedly took some extreme measures to mentally reset my association with food (definitely not a scientific approach or something I would recommend but it worked for me). I started training with a bit more focus and intent, adding more cardio and upping the intensity to what I was doing before.

And that's how I did it - I changed my approach.

When the weight got out of control I tried going back to my old routine multiple times, but my body couldn't handle it. I'm older, in worse shape and had an injury list as long as your arm.

Changing the focus from training to nutrition first was the game-changer I needed. The more the weight dropped, the easier workouts felt; the easier the workouts felt, the more I could push myself; the more I could push myself, the better I felt.

If you feel like old routines aren't getting you the results you had before then perhaps you need a change of approach too. If this is you, drop me a message and let's chat.

You don’t need a PT.

No, you really don’t.

You don’t need a PT just like you don’t have to use a gym to get fit.

But it helps.

Like learning to drive a car, all the information you need is out there. From videos, to textbooks you can find anything and everything on how to drive. You could even ask ChatGPT for help.

But all the theory is useless without the practical, and you need an instructor for that.

You could ask your mum or dad to help, but unless you want your eardrums to burst from your parents screaming to ‘slow down’ as you creep above 30mph in a 50mph zone, you’re going to want someone level-headed and knows what to do.

With fitness you can find thousands of free videos online, blogs, diagrams etc on how to lift weights.

But all the theory is useless without the practical.

A video of a squat might look simple, but in a gym it could feel awkward, uncomfortable, intimidating and a bit sh*t.

Having someone who knows what to look for, what small tweaks to make and just gives you the damn confidence you need to keep turning up.

Changing your environment could be the game-changer you need. Let me explain.

I love being at home, I've got my family there and it's comfortable. However, working from home is almost impossible; stress creeps up, guilt increases and I procrastinate.....a lot.

So I changed my environment. I go to the library and get more done in 1 hour than I do over several days at home.

I once trained with a rugby team and struggled to get any enjoyment from it. I changed my environment, moved back home for a job, trained with my old club and got my spark back.

I lost enjoyment for the chain gym I was training at, I changed my environment to a more specialised gym and enjoyed my training again.

These are only a few personal examples over the last decade.

How does this relate to you?

It might not, but if it feels like all you're doing is spinning your wheels and getting nowhere, maybe a change in your environment could be the thing you need.

Just a thought.
