RISE daily Session feedback - 6th April

06/04/2026

It’s not a slow metabolism - it’s this instead

Imagine that you're a mechanic.

You may not need to imagine.

Somebody brings their car into the garage.

They tell you that there's a problem with the engine.

"The car is using more fuel than my wife's" they say.

You have a quick look at both cars and immediately identify what's happened.

One car is considerably bigger than the other.

And it does more miles.

Nothing wrong with the engine.

It just use more fuel because it's moved something bigger further.

Same thing when people blame "metabolism".

If somebody else is bigger and / or more active than us........

Then they'll need more energy (from food).

That’s not metabolism at work.

It's a difference in size and activity levels.

When you match people for size and activity, the difference is tiny - up to about 80 calories a day.

And it may even be that most of that is explainable through the limitations of our ability to assess the difference in body composition of weight matched people.

At the end of the day, your body needs what it needs.

Some just to keep you alive and ticking.

And an extra amount for how much it moves.

We can change that bit, of course.

And that number is what it is.

We can just then choose how much "fuel" we put in to work around that (if you want help figuring that out - and actually making it work - we can help --> comment below or send me a DM to find out more)

Much love,

You don’t get to choose easy

Which of these is easiest?

Achieving a goal?

Not achieving a goal?

"Succeeding"?

Or "failing"?

Doing something?

Or not doing it?

It’s tempting to pick the first option each time.

Kinda seems obvious, doesn't it?

But, ultimately, neither is easy.

It’s not easy to lose weight.

But it's not easy to be carrying around extra weight and have a body we don't like the look and feel of.

It's not easy to learn and stick to meditation.

But it's not easy to consistently feel more stressed than we'd like to be.

It's not easy to get more sleep.

But it's not easy to be tired a lot.

It's not easy to improve how we eat.

But it's not easy to deal with the effects of a poor diet.

The hard part of the first is now.

The hard part of the second comes later.

We don't get to choose easy.

That’s where we get stuck.

We can just "choose our hard" (If you’re ready to choose the better 'hard', that’s exactly what we help make easier ---> comment below or send me a DM to find out more)

Much love,

It's a slap in the face to our loved ones

One of the questions that I mentioned the other day that people often struggle to answer is "What are you looking forward to this week?"

Most of the time the answer is "The end of it".

I get it - parts of the week feel like something to 'get through'.

But it’s still a pretty poor answer.

If anything, I'd say it's a slap in the face to the people that we care about who we will spend time with that week.

If we're spending time with our partner, kids or friends and we say that the only thing we're looking forward to in the week is "the end of it".........

That’s basically saying we don’t value that time at all.

Which I'm sure isn't the case.

Imagine if you said to that loved one "Are you looking forward to watching that program / doing that thing / going to that place / spending that time with me?"..........

And they replied with "No. The only thing this week that I'm looking forward to is the end of it"..........

You'd be pretty upset wouldn't you?

So maybe it’s worth asking if there are things that we can choose to 'look forward to'.

The small, 'normal' things we’ve stopped noticing

But if the choice is between looking forward to standard things that will enjoy and looking forward to nothing at all, I think I know which approach will make us happier.

There's always plenty to look forward to if we actually look.

The more we notice them, the more we create more of them.

Much love,

One doesn't equal the other

There are a lot of formations.

The 4-4-2 in football.

The 1-3-3-1 in rugby.

The Wildcat in American football.

In (formation).

Trans (formation).

And the last two do not equal each other.

Information doesn't equal transformation.

It might be part of it, sure.

It's good to know what we need to do to achieve the change that we desire.

But we have to take action.

It's action that produces results.

Most of us already have enough information.

Sure, there are finer details. Better strategies. Adjustments along the way.

But we already know enough to be making better progress than we are now.

All of us.

It's tempting to get stuck in paralysis by analysis.

To keep looking for that secret hack that we haven't found yet.

But we know enough.

What’s missing isn’t information. It’s action (like commenting below or sending me a DM to find out more).

Much love,

RISE daily Session feedback - 2nd April

What if you got this instead of "motivation"?

When I ask people why they’re not getting results (with previous things they've done or sometimes even here at RISE), two things always come up;

Time.

And motivation.

I've got another way of considering motivation for you.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (where 1 is in a coma and 10 is absolutely bursting with energy at all times)..........

What would you say your energy levels are like on an average day?

Go on, pick a number - even just in your head.

If you said 8 or more, I doubt motivation is much of an issue for you?

If you said less than 8, I've got a question for you;

If your energy went up by 2 points........

What impact do you think that would have on your motivation?

I reckon most people would say ‘a lot'.

Maybe the question isn’t "How do I increase motivation?"

Maybe it’s "How do I increase my energy?"

And those answers are usually pretty obvious.

Maybe not easy to do.

But easier to find than the answers to the motivation question.

I'd wager that to increase your energy levels you would want to do some combination of the following.

Increase;

- Exercise (we, obviously, help with this. But we'll help with the rest too. And make it as fun as possible! Take that next step by trying us out via our 4 Week Kickstart Programme - comment below or send me a DM to find out more)

- Sleep

- Hydration

- Quality of food

And to decrease;

- Caffeine

- Alcohol

- Doomscrolling social media

- Excessive news consumption

So let's change the question from "How do I increase my motivation?" to "How do I increase my energy levels?"

Find your answer.

Fix that first.

Much love,

Jon 'Don't stop moving baby' Hall

Shame on you?

It's April Fools Day.

You've heard the phrase "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me".

It means if it happens again, we didn’t learn from it.

A mistake only happens once.

If it happens again, it’s not a mistake. It’s a choice.

If we keep missing workouts or making the same food choices because of things that have happened before (possibly thousands of times), that's a choice.

And that's cool.

We’ve all done it. We’ll all do it again.

But realising how much of this is actually our choice is powerful.

Stops us being victims of our circumstances.

It puts control back with us.

We can still choose whatever we want....

But we own that it’s our decision.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Much love,

Jon 'If you think it's over' Hall
