Every week I hear something a little different from the people I work with. Whether it's someone being honest about the time frame or schedule they actually have available to them and can keep up with or just a hurdle in somebody's week that we chat through before finding an approach that suits them.

Or progress that shows up first in how they feel, how their training's going, how is their energy or how their clothes are fitting, because that's where you actually want to see the changes first and foremost.

None of it is particularly spectacular and I think that's actually the whole point. It's rarely one big thing that changes everything, it's just working with whatever you've got to work with, week after week and letting that add up over time.

What's one thing you're working around at the moment, whether that's time, energy, knowing how to train for your situation, or something else? Let me know in the comments, genuinely curious what people are juggling right now.

New podcast episode up - structure over willpower and what keeps you training long term.

Motivation and willpower get thrown around when it comes to starting back into training. But building a routine and structure with it will keep you doing it long term.

You can find it on Spotify - Everyday Strong Podcast or dm me and I'll send you the link.

You want to start back into training, but you're waiting. For things to calm down or for things to feel a bit more settled.

But what's the alternative?

If you keep waiting, you don't get any stronger. You don't get any fitter, leaner or more capable or confident. None of that happens by putting it off.

You don't need all the time in the world to get back into training. You need the willingness and the right mindset to start.

A few lessons and takeaways from this week's catch ups with clients.

Some weeks just won't be perfect and that's normal. What makes the difference is having a few things you're not willing to skip, no matter what kind of week it's been.

It's making small changes as you go rather than trying to fix everything at once.

And knowing what your week looks like before you're already in the middle of it.

Pick 1 to 3 things you're not willing to skip and build everything else around those.

Making changes with your nutrition or starting back into training is going to take time.

And it's not that you need to be in the gym for hours every week or making nutritious meals needs to be time consuming.

But if time is a barrier for you in starting back into things work with what you have available for now.

Only have 30 minutes to train. OK let's work with that for now.

Don't have time to cook each meal from scratch. Ok, when you do cook can you make double the amount so now you have a meal for tomorrow?

There are ways to get time back. Look at what you are currently doing and what is actually feasible for you do it? Remember, this is a change in lifestyle you are trying to do, so it's going to take time.

New podcast episode - the things people put in their own way when starting back into training.

It's September. A let's get back into routine time of year. But there are things that no matter the time of year people will put in their own way to simply start.

'I can't do that.'
'I've too many things going on.'
'I'm too old to start back.'
'The gym isn't a place for me.'
'I've started before but then just stopped'.

These are things you tell yourself based on what may have happened before or where you think you are right now.

But what if you started from what you are capable of, what time you do have, around what you want to get from it and actually made it enjoyable?

And just gave it a go but differently this time.

Have a listen on Spotify and let me know if any of those barriers I talk about sound familiar.
