The key to, and success of, any type of training is specificity. We all have a goal and a reason for training. Mine is vanity and being able to wear tight t-shirts 🙂 Therefore, we must ensure that this reason is central to what we do during our gym sessions along with the rest of our life in order to achieve that end goal. This is absolutely vital to achieving the body you desire while not wasting wasting your precious time (as a lot of us are doing and I have done previously). The end goals of my clients that I work with…

The majority of our success with our health, fitness and physique goals come from eating the right nutrient dense foods to complement our intense training sessions. This is what I call the 80/20 percent split, with the majority of your results being centered around what you consume each day (food and liquids). However, there are two other extremely important factors that we frequently ignore and they are absolutely imperative. These two factors include proper sleep and hydration. Sleep – Getting Adequate Rest for Optimal Recovery The importance of sleep cannot be forgotten when it comes to reaching our fitness goals. When we are…
A lot of people go to the gym, do some cardio, lift weights, do a little stretching and then head home. That is a standard session for a lot of individuals. That routine continues each time we decide to go to the gym and it’s basically “rinse and repeat”. Then we expect our physique to dramatically change even though our training never does. If it hasn’t changed in the months or years prior, why should it now? Do The Same Thing, Get The Same Results Most people are taught to train this way in all those glossy fitness magazines where…
If you read fitness magazines, visit websites or speak to any fitness coach, personal trainer or gym instructor, they will tend to give you many differing opinions on what type of training is the absolute best for achieving real results. These theories might include CrossFit versus traditional weight training, LISS cardio (Low Impact Steady State) versus HIIT cardio (High Intensity Interval Training) or any one of the multitude of training techniques and principles. Along with training, there is a huge array of different theories when it comes to nutrition. You have the Atkins Diet, cabbage soup diet, low-fat, high fat, low carbs,…
A lot of people come to fitness coaches like me and expect miracles. They expect to be given some “secret” and find out what it is that we know that they do not. What are we going to do that will give them the physique they want quickly? I am good at what I do and some have even said that I’m great at my job, but the truth is that there is no secret. It may not be popular or headline grabbing, but there is no quick fix and a shortcut simply doesn’t exist. It’s important for people to accept…
