Training programs

There are plenty of training programs available online but a lot of these are generic and don’t account for your goals, your body or weaknesses/injuries.

Don’t just get a random online program you’re probably not going to stick to, get yourself a online coach.

If you’re aged 21-35, I can help you build muscle and get photoshoot read in as little as 90 days!

Start your journey today with: Training and Diet programming for your specific goal!

MODERN WORLD PROBLEMS

In this modern society we have almost everything we need at the end of a phone call or short drive. This is a problem for the modern human.

See the society has developed so fast that our own evolution hasn’t had any time to catch up.

In a world where you can buy a 1000kcal+ mcdonalds that costs you less than £10 you can see how this would differ front out ancestors having to hunt and kill their food over a period of a day to have a meal of the same calorific value.

This comfortability is found everywhere in our modern lives. Driving to work instead of walking, ordering food instead of making or gathering our own, having a cleaner for our homes instead of doing so yourself.

The point of this post is to try make people understand how little we move to how much we’re supposed to move, even 100 years ago people would walk to work where they would work all day in a mine smashing rocks to walk back home.

Sitting on your laptop for 8 hours a day just doesn’t require the same amount of calories that you think it does.

Get up, get out and move!

Play with your kids at the park, go for a walk, take the dog somewhere, go to the gym. ANYTHING!

Protein and its effects on hunger.

Eating 30-50g of protein per meal not only contributes towards your daily goals of 1.25g per Lb of bodyweight it also has other benefits.

For example:
• Feeling more satiated with a meal.
• Reducing cravings for sugary foods
• Keeping you fuller for longer.
• Increases muscle mass.
• Better recovery.
• More calories burnt in digestion.

So get your protein in!

WEIGHTLIFTING is THE best type of
exercise for FAT LOSS!

Lift weights for 45 minutes 3-5X per

Being part of the Barbell Club at RT Fitness is such a pleasure!

Over the last 6 months we’ve been experimenting with a shred program. This is essentially a 12-week block of focused dieting and strength training to transform our current clients.

Check out Sandy! I'm so amazed by this woman and her effect she puts into everything she sets out to achieve!

This isn’t some crazy cardio!
There’s no 2 hours on the treadmill!
And no crazy dieting!

What actually works:

3-5 Days of weightlifting!
10-20k steps a day!
Consistency with dieting!

That simple!

Are you accounting for your Saturday calories?

Saturdays normally result in people socialising over food and drink. You can still indulge yourself while making progress don’t worry!

A simple way to do this is account for it over the week before for example, if you know you’re going for a big meal out at the weekend drop your weekly calories by 500 so 6/7 days of this will result in having 3000kcals to play with for one day! This is an extreme example, but you get the idea.

Don’t just not track and go crazy or you’ll just maintain your current weight or worse undo your progress and gain weight if you do this consistently.

STEPS STEPS STEPS

Steps are the easiest form of physical activity to lose weight.

Walking for 1 hour a day can burn up to 600kcal! For reference running 1 hour a day can burn up to 900kcal!

Now what’s easier and more motivating to complete? Exactly so get walking!

Let’s talk weight training!

Many people when trying to lose weight jump straight into cardio. This is the worst thing you can do!

Losing weight without gaining any muscle will result in you just becoming a smaller version of yourself and leave you dissatisfied with the results.

Now the science on lean body mass shows if you increase your muscle mass without ever losing a pound of fat, you’ll actually be leaner and have a lower percentage of body fat!

Crazy I know!

But if you reverse that process and didn’t gain any muscle and only fat you can see how your bodyfat percentage would increase!

So, get yourself into the gym and consistently lift weights it’s only going to result in less fat and better aesthetics!

5 Tips for succeeding on your diet!

1. Figure out your TDEE, this is simple, and you can use an online calculator to do so! Once you’ve got your daily expenditure you can now figure out your calorie deficit for success! Now to make this sustainable we don’t want to create a huge deficit. So, take your TDEE and times that by 0.15 to get %15 now minus that from your TDEE number and bam you’ve got your weight loss calories that aren’t going to be a crazy unsustainable deficit.
2. Figure out your macro split, personally I like to run my clients on 45% Protein, 20% Fats and 35% Carbohydrates. This results in satiating meals that will not only fill you but keep you full between meals. If you don’t use MyFitnessPal, you can split these up manually. Figure out the % of your deficit calories, so you’ve got a whole number, once you’ve got that number this is the number of calories that macro nutrient accounts for on the %. Now all you have to do is divide protein by 4, Carbs by 4 and Fats by 9. This will give you the specific grams.
3. Prioritise protein! When you eat your meals, you should consume your protein portion first. This will result in you feeling fuller and therefore less likely to have cravings or binge on other foods once you’ve ate.
4. Account for inconsistency. Not everyone is perfect and if you say you are then you’re a liar! Account for these inconsistencies in diet by having 200 less of your deficit one day and allowing yourself to have 200 more the following it doesn’t need to be perfect every day as long as your weekly average is your desired deficit.
5. Leave room for foods you enjoy. When I write diet plans, I like to give my clients base meals, from this I’ll leave them 200-500 spare calories to have their preferred snacks. This can be chocolate for one example. As long as the food is weighed and tracked within calories then you can safely indulge yourself without messing up your hard work!
