Exercise with Brad

I’ve decided 10ks are my new half marathons, and I’m ok with that. 👌🏼

Started with the best - with the best and the boys.

Wouldn’t want to be on that stage with anybody else! 👊🏼

Progress update.

P R O G R E S S 📈

This weekend I hit a PB on chest press which got me thinking…

1. I could have lifted heavier weeks ago, I just talked myself out of it. Note to self, don’t let that little voice in your head win. 💪🏼

2. I started lifted aged 20. Didn’t know what I was doing till I qualified as a PT aged 31. I’ve made more progress in 3 years than I did in 9. Knowledge is power. 🧠

3. I was once told my love of exercise was an unhealthy obsession, that took over my life. Wrong. Instead, I surrounded myself with people who love to exercise too and then made it my side hustle! Do what makes YOU happy. 👍🏼

Happy Sunday! 😁

2018 VS 2023

2018
📈 10 stone & 5% body fat
❌ Mentally exhausted
❌ Worried about hitting 10k steps daily
❌ Terrified to eat carbs or fats
❌ Addicted to cardio
❌ Couldn’t progress to heavier weights
❌ Looked in the mirror and felt skinny & fat 🤯

2023
📈 12 stone & 10% body fat
✅ Strength training 4x a week
✅ See food as fuel and know what to eat
✅ Regularly get 8 hours sleep
✅ Over 15,000 steps a day
✅ Love how exercise and helping others is one of my jobs!

🟧 Still do a lot of cardio
🟧 Still look in the mirror and aim to be stronger

There are 5 years between these two photos. The difference inside is way more obvious than what you see on the outside.

Five years on, I got on the scales for the first time in a year recently and realised how far I had come. Exercise is my passion. I love it and have found a good balance.

No miracles, no 6 month transformations, this is 5 years of ups and downs. Just a guy with a full time job (and another one on the side!) fitting in workouts, going on holidays, living for each half term and finding joy in helping myself and others through exercise. 💪🏼
