And here we go again - Gym's re-open for the 3rd time!
But with it comes a fresh outlook on how we approach the future.
Ideas, projects, goals, dreams - how do we manifest these into realities?
What does 'wealth' mean to you? We've always said "Your Health is Your Wealth" so definitely not money orientated but also how wealthy are you in:
- Energy?
- Health?
- Time?
- Relationships?
Putting things off until a better time is not the way to do it. We say get out there and JUST DO IT!It's a time to get uncomfortable again.
And on that note; shout out on this episode to https://www.roughdiamondsmma.com/
Take the leap and do what you say you'll do.

In this episode we dive into what to focus on when you go back to GymsâŠ
First and foremost have a PLAN.
Donât wing it but plan WHEN youâre going to do your training.
Create the space in your diary for one youâre going to do this.
Have a format of WHAT youâre going to do when you reach your dedicated training time and space.
Donât fear getting back to basics and taking things easy to begin with.
Also, make your plan ADAPTABLE - it could be quite a hectic time in Gyms very soon so having free rein of all the equipment may not happen.
Go armed with variability and freedom to still execute your workout plan.
If you are limited to the weights you can use, applying some overload techniques or adjustments to HOW you do the movement can make it feel totally different and create a better outcome.
We also answer a listeners question on diet drinks - are they good, bad or unhealthy?
Also, we cover how to snack when cooking dinner.

âCan I have [this] on my diet?â
The eye opening wisdom we share with coaching clients that means they can still enjoy the things they love without feeling too restricted.
Tracking your food intake but not making progress? We explain potentially why.
Not all food is made equal. The difference in calorie values of the foods we eat and the smart choices that can save you pounds (around the waistline).
We talk portion sizes and why going by eye is disastrous and why you probably shouldnât be having the same portion sizes as your partner.
The meat choice that packs an absolute calorie knockout and you should probably switch out.
And Robâs crazy tyre flip charity challenge idea⊠should it go ahead?

Schools are BACK and parents everywhere get to plan for themselves once again đđ»
Surface level coaching vs going into deeper levels that address more than just training and nutrition.

3 pounds a week weight loss on average and that's not the biggest win of this clients 8-week focus.

In this episode we discuss...
Our brand new Online Coaching program and how it ISN'T the fitness plan you're looking for.
Why Coaching the Mind and Health from within should be your number one priority over searching for the latest and greatest 'training plan'.
Sharing the awesome results of the latest 8 week program coming to a close (and some not being the kind of wins you'd expect!)
How 'done for you' programs are great BUT they miss a huge element out - the journey and the learning experience.

In this episode, we discuss the latest Govt announcement and the mention of gyms reopening in the forthcoming 'roadmap' out of lockdown.
Yep, we have the same setup planned for our facilities, the tried and trusted setup will remain for us upon Gyms reopeningâŠ
âŠpersonal workout spaces kitted out for each member to use for their session, but with (hopefully the end of restrictions) the environment will likely feel very different this time!
Fingers crossed itâs the last lockdown hey!
6 weeks out!
Nowâs the time to get âgym readyâ by not letting the next 6+ weeks fly by and do nothing.
Being closed 38 weeks out of 55 means it is now time to rebuild.Â
Summer 21 is looking to be a full on season of fitness and fun.
With pubs reopening in the spring too, we can make it a good un.

When itâs out there itâs OUT THERE!
In this episode, we talk about the power of social media and when content is posted thereâs likely no going back.
We are always our own worst critics, action and getting something done is far better than holding back.
Josh on stage in small pants and jazz hands is something heâd rather forget đ
If you find 8 weeks a long time to commit to getting results then there may be deeper underlying issues around the goal that are keeping you stuck.
Why planning in the treats (that youâre going to have anyway) is a powerful tool in your toolbox so you can have them AND stay on track.
Wasting calories on terrible choices that could be âspentâ on better choice treats, once eaten there's no going back!
And whilst we're on the topic of treats, a shout out to Emily @bake_em_bakery (on Instagram) for the incredible brownies...
https://www.instagram.com/bake_em_bakery/
Back to client results - why looking at percentages is superior to the scale number.
Tracking % of bodyweight lost each week can be a better indicator of progress than lbs on the scale.
Finally, back to the main point of this âsizzlingâ episode, when itâs out there itâs out there!

What would you do if you had the 'wake up callâ about what you need to do to make the changes to your Health?
We discuss if our bodies need enforced rules such as those our cars need to be roadworthy.
The 80/20 rule is possibly the single most âgame-changingâ tactic in your arsenal but because itâs so simple most will not do it.
We propose a new school curriculum to help kids build the basics around health, fitness, finance and mindset.
