Strong mind = Strong body

How strong is your mind? Do you do your best or do you do what is required? I bet in some aspects you do what is required but in some you do your 'best'. Often doing our best is an excuse for not doing enough, we tell ourselves that we did our best but in reality we came far short of that.

I have to tell myself to do what is required all the time, because my best often just isn't good enough. I don't let myself 'do my best' and fall short of my goals. I do what is required, then I realize that I can do a whole lot more than I initially thought I could.

What have you been 'doing your best' at and just not seeing the results you want?

🏋🏻Introducing Viking Fitness🏋🏻

Would you rather have an easy life or the strength to endure a hard one?

Well it doesn't really matter what you want as this is what we have. You can either complain and say 'it's too hard' or build the strength necessary.

I've had it harder than most but not as hard as some. And a lot of my own actions made it even harder than it needed to be.

I've learnt a lot, I didn't have a choice. And I want to lessen the burden of your journey.

It's now or never.

I’m in Pain 😭

I've been wrestling with emotional pain for years, it's been a fu***ng rollercoaster. Some days are better than others, and some are downright awful. And I've tried just about everything to free myself from these feelings: counselling, CBT, meditation, medication. And every self destructive behaviour you can imagine. It was touch a go for years but I’m still here. But I figured out how to break the cycle.

🏋️‍♂️ Pursuing goals, this opened by eyes that I was actually capable of achieving things. Whether it's the thrill of squatting 180kg or working to get my body weight below 90kg, the journey and transformation has been nothing short of amazing. 🏋️‍♀️💪

💡 It's not just about your body; it's about your mind and soul too. 🧠❤️ Through sweat, pain, and determination, I found a path to heal my emotional wounds. It's not a quick fix, but it's a journey worth taking. And there is nothing I’d rather do than help you through the same process.

Are you ready to break the cycle?

🍽️ Nutrition doesn't have to be hard. 🥦

Are you tired of thinking that you need to go on a strict 'Chicken, broccoli, and rice' diet to lose weight? 🍗🥦🍚 Think again! The solution is much simpler than you might imagine.

🔍 If you take a closer look at your weekly meals, you'll notice that most of them are quite similar. 🤔 So, what's the secret? It's all about making subtle adjustments to what you already enjoy eating.

📊 First, determine your nutritional requirements to reach your fitness goals. 📋 Then, take a look at your most common meals and tweak them to fit your needs. For example, let's talk about spaghetti bolognese: Swap out the regular mince for 5% fat mince, increase the amount to hit your protein target, and use tinned tomatoes instead of bolognese sauce. 🍝

🍳 And how about that delicious fried breakfast with chicken sausages, bacon medallions, eggs, and hash browns? 🥓🍳🥔 These are two meals that I enjoy regularly, and guess what? They also meet my macro targets.

👉 Ready to make nutrition work for you and achieve your fitness goals without the hassle? It's all about understanding your needs and making simple tweaks to your favorite meals. Start today! 💪🥗

🔥 Turn fears into strengths 💪

💥 When it comes to achieving those incredible feats, be it getting stronger, leaner, or whatever your heart desires, two crucial things are in play.

💪🏻 First, it's all about having a program. But that’s the easy bit.

Then there's the second piece of the puzzle – fuel. Let me share a real experiment. Scientists once placed a starving mouse in a tube with a tempting piece of cheese right in front of it and measured how hard it pulled towards the cheese. But when they wafted in the smell of a cat from behind. You would think that the mouse will pull as hard as it could to get the cheese but no, the mouse pulled HARDER to get away from the cat than to go towards these cheese. The cat is a bigger motivator that the cheese. 🐭🐾

This is a lot like life, isn't it? Running away from something you hate is more powerful than running towards something you like. There will definitely examples of this in your life you just haven’t realised it until now. If someone has a health scare and HAS to get in shape, they nearly always do it, but they’ve know they should lose weight for years. The cat is a more powerful motivator.

We all have our fears and insecurities, just like that mouse had the cat to fear. For me, it's the fear of never being good enough and the dread of failure that fuels my journey. We all have our demons. And if don’t you must have had a pretty chill life, good for you! 🌟

If you're wrestling with negative feelings, you might as well turn them into your strengths. Because if you don’t, they WILL use you even if you don’t realise it. I was there for years and I wish someone told me this earlier. 🙀

💡Those who have conquered mountains and achieved the incredible, they've got insecurities too. They're not superheroes; they're just like you and me. But they use those insecurities to their advantage. And you can to 🌟

Want To Get Hench!?

If you're hell-bent on building muscle, you might think an increasing scale is the golden ticket. Be careful! It can lead you down the path of becoming the Michelin Man – been there, done that, more than once! 🙈

The real secret? Focus on getting stronger! 🏋️‍♂️

All you need is 20 working sets per muscle group each week, divided into 2 workouts for each group. Keep it efficient and effective! ⏱️

💥 Use compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once. Get in, get out of the gym, and still get those gains. Plus, they trigger a bigger hormonal response for more muscle growth! 💥

🔼 Gradually add weight to your core exercises. The first exercise for each muscle group in each session is key – track your weights for that sweet progressive overload. If you’re getting stronger you’re getting bigger 📈

Keep this routine going week after week, pair it with a sensible diet, and you'll find yourself seriously strong in no time! 💥

🚫 And for the record, anyone trying to peddle a 'secret formula' or 'new hack' is looking after their wallet, not your gains 🚫

🔥 Alright, listen up, because I'm about to drop some truth bombs! 🚀

💥 Are you stuck in the same old rut, battling those habits that just won't let go? Whether it’s biscuits at work because eating is more fun than working. Spending hours on your phone mindlessly scrolling through endless feeds (check your app usage!) Smashing through a Domino’s because you had a hard day at work or having a full blown bender at the weekend. It's time to confront these bad habits because they're the anchor holding you back!

💀 You can’t stick your head in the sand forever. And the longer you wait you break the cycle the harder it’ll be and the more work it’ll take.

💪 The first step on this transformative journey is deceptively simple - it's all about identification. Once you've pinpointed these habits, you can find the triggers and from there you're ready to start the change. Swap out those habits that have been holding you back for more beneficial ones that will actively push you toward your goals. It's a game-changer, trust me!

🌟 You're not just breaking habits; you're turning your life around. Trading negatives for positives and becoming who you want to be. I want you to experience looking back at yourself and feeling pride and what you accomplished.

Ready to make that change? Stop waiting, and let's start transforming today. Send me a message today to join our incredible transformation program. Don't put it off any longer; your future self will thank you! 💪💥

It's the weekend! 🍻🍔🍕🥂

You're allowed to go off diet, right? 🤔 It might be time to reconsider! 🏋️‍♀️

Did you know that by taking weekends off, you're potentially going backwards for 104 days a year? That's a lot of lost progress! 😱 and it can take at least the first two days of the week just to get back to where you were on Friday. Depending on how much of a bender let yourself go on. You are the average of your behavior.

So if you you spend 156 (3 days a week) days a year making ‘loads’ of progress, you'll be further away from your goal than someone who makes a ‘pretty good’ progress for 365 days straight. 💪 Now if you can make great progress everyday, in a sustainable way that doesn't give you the urge to go of track. Now that's a super-weapon.

If you find yourself going off the rails on weekends and jeopardising all the hard work you've put in, don't worry! There are ways to stop that cycle and stay on track. Let me know if you want to break the cycle and get s**t done! 💯

🚀 Transformation!

💔 These pictures are 5 years apart! I knew exactly what I needed to do to get in shape 5 years ago, but there was a problem.

I tried everything - fancy diets, different training protocols, you name it. While all of these can and will work, I was still missing something crucial. My head was a mess. I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of feeling like a failure and wasting my potential. It's a terrible place to be, and I spent years there, trying to 'think' my way out of it. But constantly making decisions that reinforced those negative feelings about myself.

🌟 The solution took me longer to figure out than I'd like to admit, and it's as simple as this: Get out of your own way, every decision you make will either bring you closer to your goal or push it further away.

🙌 If you're stuck in your own head, it's time to break free. Don't let your inner doubts hold you back any longer. Send a 🧠 in a DM! 💪

Where will you be in 6 months?

Knowing where to start is the hardest part, you want to get stronger or lose weight but what is the first step?

Let me break it down for you.
First you need a definitive goal, something a lot more specific than just 'i want to lose weight' or 'get stronger'

Pick a goal bodyweight and be precise (drop 10kgs). Or pick an exercise such as bench press and what you want to be able to lift. Such as 60kg for 10 reps.

Now that you've got your goal you can work back on how to achieve it. Losing weight you need to reduce your calories, google calorie calculator and fill it in and it'll spit out a number to aim for. Then download a calorie calculator like MyFitnessPal and log EVERYTHING you consume. If you log everything and meet your calorie target you WILL lose weight. It's a certainly.

To improve your bench you'll need to do more bench pressing. 20 sets of chest work split into two sessions a week, so that 2 workouts of 5 sets of bench press followed by 5 sets of either dumbbell flys or a chest machine. Slowly increase the weight once a week until you got your goal.

It really is that simple. You if want some more help figuring out a specific goal for yourself feel free to send me a message.

P.s or you can do nothing and stay in the same position you're currently in 🤷🏼
