The Small habits done consistently and well will get you the results. There is no rocket science to it but you have to be disciplined and repeat many of these habits daily to get where you want to be.

5 habits are listed below 🙌💪

The frustrating thing for most people is that they do these things a few times, don’t see a difference and give up and look for the quick fix.

It’s a bit like the washing, when you put £10 away every day it isn’t much at the end of the week, Infact it will probably struggle to pay your shopping but over the course of a year if you save it every day you’ll have £3650 in your pocket. Fitness is a bit like that, you might only progress a little every day, sometimes that little you can’t even see it. It’s not until you get a few months down the line you or people who know you notice these changes.

Small habits add up like this and then become the big things in your journey as without these your gains or progression wouldn’t happen.

1. Habits that will add up over time - working out for at least 20 mins per session. The more intensely you train the less you have to do but even if it’s not very intense it will all add up over time like your money.

2. Drinking 2 litres + of water per day - ensures your blood is thin enough to circulate your body without working too hard, keeps you hydrated, your skin fresh, prevents the mistake of hunger pangs and aids in food digestion.

3. Getting your steps in - it might seem trivial but if you only get 1-3000 steps per day you’ve got to eat so much better and train a lot harder to get in as good shape as someone doing 7-10 thousand steps per day. So it all adds up in the long run. The consistency is more important than intensity here as well. Instead of doing one high day so you can show everyone make sure you are doing a good amount each day to help you on your fitness joirney, along with this will come cardiovascular benefits.

4. Getting your sleep in - this allows you to feel fresh, have energy for your work, training and general life. It also allows your body to repair better than anything else. Without sleep a fit person can feel extremely uniform and their legs can feel like lead.

5. Protein consumption - this ensures your body feels full when you take in calories and also assists in building and repairing your muscles when injured or recovering from training. Especially when taken naturally through food.

UPM Caledonian Paper Health & Wellbeing Initiative

Over the last few months I have been working closely with UPM on a health & wellbeing initiative. UPM are a very successful global company who are based here in Irvine. A company who wants to take care of their staff and help them live a healthier lifestyle.

I brought in my tanita body analyser scanner each day whilst delivering one on one personal training sessions and setting each individual up with a tailored gym program for the onsite gym they have made for staff.

It was an extremely enjoyable initiative where everyone seemed keen to learn, try their best and looking for ways to improve in their lifestyle. I’d like to say a massive thank you to Sajal in particular who arranged everything, the staff who took part and sorted out my key cards etc and the people who gave me directions 🤣🙌.

I hope all who took part at least picked up something of use and if you need any further help, don’t be afraid to get in touch.

My ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Rehab

11 months ago (top) v last week (bottom)

4 years ago I badly injured my acl and as you’ll see my quad muscles severely deteriorated. I’ve been building them over the last 11 months with football and weights but still have a bit of work to do as my non injured leg (left) is still much more muscular. According to my Tanita body analyzer my right leg which was injured has nearly 1% more fat in the right leg and 0.4kg less muscle but this is the first I’ve seen progress photos side by side and I’m happy with the change in my legs and know where I’ve got to improve.

Last year I used to strap my knee up like stone cold Steve Austin to play a game and now with the added muscle on my legs I no longer require it.
