There’s a difference between ‘Being Fit’ and being in “Great Shape”.

It’s true!

Getting fit and running for days can be fun but it’s not going to be the quickest way to change your body shape.

For James this couldn’t be more true.

He was super fit and could run for days but when he started noticing fat building up around his tummy and the ‘dad bod’ creeping up on him he decided to drop me a message.

He knew the way he’d always done things wasn’t working!

As a busy Dad it was clear that time management was key.

He was always busy.

Work, family, kids and then his own stuff too.

And family time was an absolute non negotiable too.

Training 5 days a week and meal prepping fresh daily just wasn’t going to work.

When you’re busy,

&

If you’re a Mum or dad reading this right now you 100% will be,

Then you have to choose the things you focus on carefully.

Try to do it all and you’ll achieve nothing.

So in looking for a friction free approach with James we started with his training.

Instead of spending hours on cardio and classic ‘fitness’ stuff, we agreed on a simpler approach.

We spent less time in the gym but upped the intensity up a notch so when he did trained he got what he needed.

Now training smarter and having more time to get his nutrition right too he was shocked.

He was leaner, more muscular and his confidence in his physique had sky rocketed.

Making the approach simpler meant we could open up his mental bandwidth elsewhere.

He had more time to cook,

More time to spend with the family,

&

Approaching things from a better place mentally he was enjoying what he was doing.

James is now looking the best he has in years.

The guys at the gym notice.

His family notice and most importantly,

He notices.

So let me ask, if I could make some small changes to your approach to help you get better results,

Would that sound like a good thing?

If it does, you might want to drop me a message so we can talk further.

Let me see if I can help.

I just added up the number of times I changed a clients plan this week. 🧮🫢

Can you guess how many times?

3, No!

5, No!

Ok, let me put you out of your misery.

It was 12 times.

Let me tell you why, and tell you why this isn’t a bad thing at all.

To start the week off we already knew he’d be travelling so I guess that change in his workout program counted as 1 from last week.

Then when he got to his hotel we made another 3 changes because his gym didn’t have a few pieces of equipment on his program.

Next his flight was delayed so we went in search of protein rich options at the airport.

Plan adapted again.

Then when he got home his wife had covid so he was working from home and his food choices needed to change so we made those changes.

Also, because he was working from home his workout plan needed changing so we did that.

We also needed to plan for activity levels being different so we had a discussion around that and made a couple of changes here too.

Another 4 changes done.

Then finally he had a family meal out on the Saturday and you guessed it, we made a few changes and got that factored in so he could be present with the family.

And what’s best, check in day just came along and do you know what happened?

Leaner, stronger, lighter and energy levels through the roof.

Any single one of those struggles could have been a rabbit hole.

Something that could have been used as an excuse to give up, free wheel or get stressed and go back to old habits.

This is what a personal program looks like.

Something that moulds around your life and works for you instead of against you.

So let me ask you,

Does your plan fit around your busy family/ work life

Or

Do you stress yourself out trying to be too rigid?

Flexibility isn’t a weakness.

It’s a skill.

I encouraged Steve to think big and he ran it.

When we first met, Steve was in an ok place.

He could run, he could lift weights and things were just about ticking along.

But ok wasn’t enough.

Mindful of his age he knew he could do better and that was his stumbling block was knowing how to actually do it.

He’d tried running, he’d tried classes but always ended up in the same place.

Feeling and looking ok.

As a busy business owner he’d often get home absolutely shattered with time against him.

He’d struggle to make time to workout or to make food that helped him look and feel great and lockdown had only made things worse because he’d lost all momentum.

He’d find himself forgetting to eat and snacking on quick easy rubbish then feeling rubbish for it.

Next the weekend would arrive and he’d be starving so would just eat everything and drink too. (Another habit picked up during lockdown)

He’d go all out with indulgent food and alcohol and in doing so he’d lost confidence in the way he looked and felt because of it.

Getting him back on track I worked with Steve to develop a personal nutrition and workout strategy.

One that wouldn’t be a chore during the week but would also allow him a bit of flexibility with his food and time at the weekend.

Like with so many others he was shocked when I said he needed to eat more and train smarter.

The results were unreal.

Helping him build structure and consistency to develop and sculpt his body instead of starve it he noticed changes almost immediately.

In his words he was noticing lumps and bumps (muscles 😂) he’d never had before.

And his energy levels had sky rocketed too.

He was more energised at work, more productive and even had to buy new workout kit to fit his new physique.

And all of this was done without having him spend hours in the gym or living out of food pots eating chicken and broccoli on a daily basis like many coaches would have had him do.

Ready for your daily unpopular opinion? 😱

Losing weight is a full time task.

That’s right.

Those that are on the road to reducing belly fat and the dad bod/ mum tum are taking action every day.

So, when I hear that people are struggling more on weekends than weekdays I wanted to offer some help.

There are a few key factors at play during the week.

1️⃣ Being busy can be a good thing.
2️⃣ You use routine more on weekdays
3️⃣ Work keeps you focussed

And

When you get to the weekend there’s a huge shift and all these things change.

The worst thing we can do is play by the same rules at the weekend as we do during the week.

It just doesn’t work.

So take a look at the slides above and try implementing some of these ideas to take a wider approach that makes the weekend part of the plan.

Drop a comment below and let me know which one you’re going to start doing.

Everyone has their moment of realisation.

For me it was seeing a photo of myself on holiday.

I thought I was in ok shape but when I saw that photo I knew I’d let things go too far.

My tummy was hanging over my shorts.

My face was round and I could see I wasn’t me.

And it’s not just me,

I speak to other Dads and they say the same too.

I was speaking to a new client this morning and on Friday he’d gone to get dressed for work and he couldn’t do up his top button.

Enough was enough.

He drew a line in the sand and knew it was time to change.

That was his moment,

His turning point,

His time to step up.

He had his moment and won’t look back.

Question is.

What will you do with your moment?

Meet super Mum.

was such a joy to coach.

BUT

Don’t let that fool you.

She’d had her struggles.

Before working together she was juggling work, being a Mum and a partner too.

She’d been overwhelmed time and time again trying every quick fix going.

When she first spoke to me about coaching she was fuming!!

She’d knew her body would change after having her son but she didn’t feel in control and knew she could to better.

She felt soft and her “mum tum” was stopping her having the confidence to wear the clothes she loved.

She loved getting dressed up but the little black dress just wasn’t the same.

She knew where she wanted to be and what’s more powerful was that she knew her big WHY,

BUT

It was nothing without a plan.

And this is where she’d always failed.

She’d work hard but without knowing exactly which buttons to push she’d get to the same place every time.

Tired, hungry and nearly no change in the way she looked.

It sound simple but building a plan around her specifically was a game changer.

The tasks were built around her busy lifestyle and allowed her to eat well around her job and family life.

Training was manageable too and didn’t put her under pressure.

And

The plan was dynamic too because, let’s face it, being a parent is an ever changing lifestyle.

Days out, social events and even birthdays were planned for meaning Tamsin could get the results she wanted regardless of what life could throw at her.

Credit to her, she used the tools she was given and she was always in contact.

She’d ask questions and raise concerns quickly which meant we could provide solutions and prevent problems.

I’ll never forget the first time we knew we’d won with Tammy.

She’d had a ball booked in her calendar and her dress was stunning.

The date rolled around and she sent me a picture of her in the dress and you could just tell how happy she was by the look on her face.

She was so proud of herself and she totally deserved it.

Ready to take back control of your results but don’t have the plan you need?

DM me the word “PLAN” and let me ask a few questions to see if I can help.

Do you visit the biscuit tin at the same time daily when you’re at work?

It sounds silly but I actually discuss this with new clients all the time

Let me set the scene.

You had your normal porridge breakfast but because you were running a little late getting the kids sorted you didn’t plan for lunch.

But it’s ok you can get something later or.

You have a coffee at 11am and resist the biscuits.

You say no because you’re trying to be “good”.

Then it’s lunch and by this time you’re starving so you have one to tide you over.

Next thing you know you’ve had 10 biscuits, no lunch, and dinner is on the horizon.

And the crazy thing is this can go on for weeks or even months.

Believe it or not there doesn’t need to be willpower here.

Willpower isn’t the issue and if you think it is, that’s the issue.

You’re not weak, you just need some simple fixes that will help you get your head around what’s actually going on.

1️⃣- Hunger is hormonal.

When you need food your body tells you to eat and when you don’t it tells you to stop.

Or at least it should.

Learning to eat with more consistency can help you get a grip of this.

2️⃣- Have a goal.

Focus is magic and makes decision making super easy.

You won’t be hungry for one and secondly when something you don’t want comes along you’ll either have another option or say no because you genuinely don’t want it.

3️⃣- Get busy.

Coffee breaks and biscuits are habits.

Just because it’s a habit doesn’t mean you can’t change it.

Go for a walk, read a book or run an errand.

Being busy often gets a bad wrap but it could actually be a blessing in disguise.

Everyone’s journey is different and you may laugh at the biscuit tin example,

BUT

I’ve been there and it’s silly things like this that kick us and get in the way of getting to where we want to be.

You laugh at the example but you’ll be amazed by what 3-5 little fixes can help you achieve.

We fixed TWO things and this guy crushed it.

Let’s start by talking about excuses, cause this guy had literally all of them.

He’s a Dad.

He works a full time job.

He has to be away from home at the drop of a hat.

&

At times he has zero control of the food he’s provided.

And with all these challenges he’d found himself drifting into a place where he wasn’t happy.

We’ll talk about training in just a sec but fundamentally this is the thing that had always grounded .owen.

He loved training but when he saw things going backward and the “Dad Bod” along with the tummy and love handles catching up with him he was getting frustrated.

Before being a Dad he’d always had time to go hard with training and that had been enough.

But now he had other responsibilities and he didn’t know how to manage getting back in shape.

Gurt’s goals were simple and once we had these nailed down I built the plan.

And the key to it was to bring his focus on nutrition and lifestyle up to a good level too.

He loved training, we just needed to mould that so it was time efficient in his busy schedule even if that meant training a little less.

With his nutrition we made it specific.

No more all or nothing approaches, just great food in the right amounts.

With his sedentary job we got him moving more too but not just that, held him accountable so if things started to get on top of him I’d help him create time to get the important things done too.

The results were awesome and Gurt worked hard.

He did everything I asked of him and critically this is how you get a result.

Now over 2 stone of body fat lighter he has more energy to spend with his family, manages his time better and feels better in himself.

And he’ll tell you it’s pretty nice to look in the mirror every day and like what you see.

Tired of doing the same things over and over and getting nowhere.

DM me “HELP” and let’s talk.

I had to get my fiancé to drive me to work so I didn’t fall asleep behind the wheel.

My kids were young and our littlest had been up all night.

She’d been coughing and waking up every hour and I don’t think I’d had more than 2 hours sleep.

And to make it worse this was the third night of the same.

I was so tired I literally couldn’t even drive to work.

You’d be shocked how many people get to this stage only to beat themselves up about not getting to the gym and this is the point where things start to go wrong.

Tiredness is real and if you’ve had kids you’ll get it.

There’s sometimes no way to avoid it.

But there are things that can help.

If tiredness is holding you back DM me the word “SLEEP” and let’s jump on a call and see if I can help.

When you look back at the way you used to think you’ll laugh.

You’ll laugh at the things that held you back and the excuses you made and you’ll definitely laugh at how little you actually needed to change.

This is where so many people are wrong about the coaching process and they convince themselves it’s not for them before they even know how it works.

Time is one of those big ideas people get stuck on.

They worry they won’t be able to do it all and that losing weight will be too much work to add in.

Here’s a statistic for you!

90% of coaching is optimising and tweaking the things you’re already doing

&

The other 10% are other things you’ll want to do once you get the rest right.

I’m talking about

✅ Training
✅ Levelling up your knowledge
✅ Getting to bed a tiny amount earlier.

And these things shouldn’t be taking any longer than 2-3 hours a week max.

So

Given the average person in the UK spends about 6.5 hours a day on their phone…

Is time really your biggest struggle?
