Hey!
Hope you’re doing well, and absolutely killing your exercise goals……………………………………….be it getting stronger, fitter, or just getting your bum in to a sexier pair of jeans!
Before todays post –
It amazes me sometimes, that people think they can run before they can walk. This is true with running as it is to real life! (People often start running, when they can barely walk for 20 mins at a brisk pace!)
If you are wanting to lose some weight, what would you think are the obvious choices? Would you say increasing activity levels? Eat less bad quality food food? Eat better quality food?
“Not the ideal snack to fit into sexy jeans”
These may seem somewhat obvious to many of you reading this – but many think they can do steps 4 5 and 6……BEFORE THEY’VE DONE STEPS 1 2 AND 3!! They go head first into ‘getting in shape’ and train 6-7 days a week with some bodybuilders hardcore training program. They go hell-for-leather for 3 weeks and then they stop because they’re either:
a)Knackered
b)Injured
c) Demotivated because the extra 30 hours of exercise has translated into very little in the way of results……..or no results at all.
You watch……….January is getting nearer, and this is what will happen in many gyms around the country. And it happens every year!
“January!”
I mentioned in the interview that the best program for you…….is the program you will ACTUALLY DO. I also mentioned many moons ago in this article (click) stating that increasing your exercise adherence will boost your results. (IE You actually DO THE PROGRAM……not say ” Yeah I’ve done my program 3 times this week……….when really you missed out those all important lunges in favour of extra set of abs or arm work, and instead of the rower – you did a set of abs…..and you forgot about the press ups, but its ok because you did so many abs! ……..Or, “Yeah I exercised 4 times this week”…….but really…..you just counted 4 times because you walked a lot this week)
When I see a client for the first time, I establish this is very important…….and if done properly can be LIFE-CHANGING. If it’s taken you 13 years to put on 4 stone……its not going to take 3 weeks to take it off again!

This body transformation didn’t happen overnight. It took a year of determination….

You just might be surprised at how much you do…..or don’t do!
Also, some people feel silly asking a PT for help. In Hull do we ever feel silly?! 😉 There is always someone who knows a bit more than you…………..those who have made the mistakes you might make…….and save you a lot of time and money. God(!) did anyone see the lose-weight-at-home gadget for me I posted a couple of months back? Click here to see it (pretty funny!)
Anyway if you’re on the fence and worried about asking for help….the National Register for Personal Trainers (NRPT) is a great resource. Here you can find out whether you could benefit from some expert guidance on losing weight. They even check that the trainers are fully qualified to train people like you, and make sure they are fully insured. They echo my advice – that you should definitely seek out more than one trainer before you make any decision.
