I am that person all in or nothing, or at least I was. In this episode I will explain how all in does not work in fitness. We all need to live our lives and realise that if you want to be fit and healthy it's a lifestyle change not just a 90 day thing, where you absolutely kill yourself for 90 days and then when you're finished and reach your goal the thoughts of going back to that hell would kill you. I explain how I went through this cycle for years and how long it took me to realise there has to be balance. If you are trying to get fit and healthy realise you will be doing this for life and you don't have to kill yourself.
Hope you enjoy :D

Exercise isn't just for your body. Exercise should not be looked as a means to get skinny or look good. In today's world a lot of people feel like they have to look a certain way. They train themselves into the ground they eat nothing and as a result exercise isn't enjoyable for them. It should be the complete opposite. You should train to feel good and to relieve stress. In this episode I talk about the effect of exercise on the brain and how it can improve your cognitive function, so you can bring your A game to everyday life!

In this episode I talk about the flexible dieting and how you can use it to your advantage when trying to lose weight. Food is fuel but it is also to be enjoyed. When you understand how to manage your calories you will be in complete control. Flexible dieting is a long term solution to help you stick to a calorie deficit and never put weight back on again. You may think fad diets are a quick fix but trust me they will keep you in it for the long haul.

Humans spend about a third of their lives sleeping. Getting enough quality sleep is critical for our concentration, cognitive function, and overall health. We use to have a natural sleep cycle because the only light source was the sun. Today, Things are very different. We have lights wherever we go throughout the entire night.
In this episode I explain how blue light effects our melatonin, melatonin is a hormone that help's us fall asleep and we are bombarded by blue light everywhere we go which wakes up our brain and messes with our circadian rhythm. So, as someone who looks at a screen most of the day I have came up with some weighs to stop it effecting my sleep cycle hope you enjoy it.

We all get caught in this trap of comparing ourselves to others, between fitness, weight loss and life in general we all get caught in it. From coaching people now for the last 3 years I see a lot of comparisons and the pursuit of perfectionism. The two of them go very much hand in hand, and there is a lot of pressure to look a certain way. Through any type of media, from magazines to TV and social media.
So in this episode I explain my 6 pillars to help you to not give a f**k about what people think.

Are you doing all the right things and not seeing results? Are you eating right and training hard and not seeing any progress?
One huge factor that hinders fat-loss is stress! We need to cope with stress better and be proactive individuals not reactive, not dealing with the stressors in life and holding it inside could be the reason you have hit a plateau.
In this episode I deep dive into stress how it affects our fat loss and how to deal with it to become the best version of yourself! I really enjoyed this receding this episode even though I had to record it twice! You will know what I mean when you listen! :)

In this episode I deep dive into how I program for fat loss. I explain the most efficient, effective way to burn fat and tone up:
Getting clear on your goal: You can't hit a target you can't see so get clear on it.
Add resistance training: If you want to burn fat but also improve your body composition then adding some form of weight training is key.
Create a structure: Mixed training= Mixed results.
No distractions: You won't get results if your workout isn't intense so no distractions.
Track your progress: If your wondering why you have hit a plateau it's because you're not tracking your progress.

This is something I have been implementing over the past few weeks and it has lead to me having very productive days.

Find your Why.
Start Small.
Commit to Consistency
Plan Ahead.

Louise was one of my first online clients when I started back in January 2021. She is now with me 4 months and she has lost 20kg, all I can say is wow! Louise has come so far since she started 4 moths ago, her whole attitude to life is totally different and she realises it's a lifestyle not just a one time thing. It feels like we know each other 4 years but we only know each other 4 months. Louise is one of the nicest people I have ever met and she is very funny as you will see in this episode! She is an absolute joy to work with and such a hard worker, but she enjoys herself as well, as I always said the journey has to be enjoyable and realistic otherwise you won't stick to it long term. This is my favourite podcast yet and it is definitely the funniest yet. Really enjoyed this and hope it helps at least one person out there that is struggling and thinks they will never change. I am telling you now you will if you just take it one step at a time!
In this episode Louise and I talk about:
Here journey on losing 20kg in 4 months
The importance of accountability
The progress she has made doing all this at home
How easy it has been compared to what she thought
Going on a walk on a date and nearly killing herself
Comfort eating and how she has come out the other end
Dealing with fatigue around her time of the month
The plan for the next 4 months

In this Episode Kalebh and I discuss the Charity run we are doing for a foundation called Debra Ireland. This run is very close to home for Kalebh as his brother Aaron Fynes died from Eb( Epidermolysis bullosa) in 2001 when he was just 16 years of age. Ep is a rare skin condition that deteriorates the skin very easil, and is a very painful debilitating disease. It's a deep conversation and Kalebh goes into a lot of detail about his brother Aaron who was a great character and he also talks about Debra Ireland and how it was co-founded by none other than his parents (which I didn't realise) and how it is a charity that is not funded by the government. So any donations would be hugely appreciated. Sit back and enjoy a deep, funny conversation. I will leave the link to donate below.

What I talk about in this podcast:
Opinions aren't facts!: Someones opinion of you is not a fact it's a thought.
Your 5 closest friends: Their opinion is the only one that matters!
Comparing yourself to others: Don't compare yourself to someone's chapter 10 when you're only on chapter 2.
Hate or negativity towards someone's success is a projection of you: If someone is doing well in their life and you are hating on them that's a projection of your own insecurities.
Your 91 year old death bed: If you were on your death bed would you like to look back on your life with regret??
