This time last year I was in a bad place….

Something that only those close to me actually knew about and most people just told me I hid it well but there were points it just wasn’t possible

Early last year I started to experience episodes of light headedness, feeling faint and extreme fatigue

I was getting concerned but as always I just kept going and thought it was due to being tired so attempted to get more sleep

After this it just kept getting worse and worse to the point that even going to Tesco become a huge challenge and it left me not wanting to do anything

I experienced multiple panic attacks during times that I should be enjoying myself and things were only getting worse

Going from someone who wanted to be out and about full of energy to someone who wanted to stay indoors and do nothing was very tough

There wasn’t a workout I had last year that I felt up for, everything was forced and this became a real issue

I paid to get multiple blood tests done, took more supplements to ensure I was covering everything and tried to improve my health as much as possible

But I just couldn’t shift it and it put me into a very dark place mentally, I just never felt myself and my mind was racing thinking this was how my life would be from now on

Cut the long story short I eventually went to the doctors and she told me I was suffering with social anxiety….

This really threw me off because I’ve stood in front of 100’s of people on stage, talked in front of big groups and I enjoy being social

But the fact is I didn’t feel the same person anymore and all those things wouldn’t even cross my mind.

It got so bad that even picking my son up from school I’d be waiting at the gates feeling this overwhelming faintness happen

So I started doing cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and after 16 weeks I’ve started to feel more myself again

Being able to attend social events without feeling the constant need to escape feels like such an achievement or even going Tesco without feeling like I’m going to pass out are huge wins at the moment (Continued in comments)

Consistency is key 🎯

When Jake first got in contact the main focus was to build a routine that he could stick to and would get him moving in the right direction

When it comes to getting into shape you need to do 2 things..

Lose body fat & build muscle

So we worked on finding a good routine with nutrition to help create the calorie deficit

Also with this we increased activity to help maintain his calorie deficit whilst also improving his fitness levels

Then it was all down to having a consistent workout program with a progressive approach to ensure that we can maximise muscle mass

This lead to Jake achieving this incredible transformation

Without hard work & consistency it wouldn’t have been possible!

Don’t over complicate it, find something you can stick to and just keep at it

Changes will need to happen but this can only be useful if you’re consistent!

If you are someone, who’s looking to drop body fat, build muscle, feel more confident in your body, why not let me help create you a personal game plan to make that happen?

Planning is a key part of getting yourself into shape!

If you don't take the time to actually plan the approach you're going to take then you will most likely struggle to achieve your goals

There are some people that manage to achieve great progress with out any planning but what happens when they stop seeing progress?

The main benefit of having a plan in place is that you have something to adjust when you're not seeing progress anymore

This is almost impossible when you have no idea what your current gym routine is, diet approach or how much cardio you've been doing

Without a plan it will make it harder to see progress

How can you know you're getting stronger if you're constantly changing exercises or using memory for how many reps or weight you've done?

How do you know what to change in your nutrition if you're just winging it on a daily basis?

Starting off with a structured plan allows you to plan ahead for when you hit the point that progress isn't happening

I set a start position for clients and already I have multiple ways we can make adjustments to continue progress if it's needed

There's no guess work involved it's already set and after making these adjustments with 100's of clients to achieve their results I'm very confident in that

Just make the effort to plan your approach that you're going to take, it will give you a lot more confidence moving forward and you will see much better results!

Consistency pays off!

There was no magic to this transformation, it was purely down to Matts hard work and consistency

Each week he put in the effort to keep on top of his food and get himself into the gym

People often look for short cuts or some special programme that'll make it happen but honestly nothing beats just turning up and staying consistent

Matt was extremely clear on what his goals were and what he wanted to achieve

Because of this It was a straight forward process, we put a plan in place and I was very honest with Matt about what it will take to achieve it

He was more than wiling to make the lifestyle change because he wanted to take the steps in the right direction with his health and after trying different approaches he wasn't sure where to go with it

Don't get caught up in trying to find the perfect plan or approach just find something that will get you results and you can stick to

So many people jump into the deep end to achieve results and burn out

If you are someone, who’s looking to drop body fat, build muscle, feel more confident in your body, why not let me help create you a personal game plan to make that happen?

Transforming your physique takes focus & effort so don’t try and wing it!

The reason most people don’t get themselves into shape is because they just try and wing it

They don’t track their workouts, their food or activity levels

If you’re not doing these things then how do you expect to no what to adjust to keep things moving?

I understand it can seem overwhelming at first but it’s one of the best habits to build when getting into shape

Having an understanding of what works for you and what doesn’t can be huge!

This will allow you to make adjustments to not only improve your physique but also energy levels, performance in the gym and you overall health!

The only way to really know what’s going on is to track what you’re doing.

If you are someone, who’s looking to drop body fat, build muscle, feel more confident in your body, why not let me help create you a personal game plan to make that happen?
