7 truths that you might not like to hear but they will help you get out of your own way.
Muscle mass will serve you better in old age as well as weight training helping prevent osteoporosis.
Getting as skinny as possible will do the opposite
You might think this is a flex but it’s not. The longer you have been training for the more you learn that days off are key!
Imagine using your iPhone without charging it- it would go into battery saving mode. You don’t have energy because you don’t give yourself energy and regular intervals throughout the day.
Using the phrase “I’m all or nothing.” Like it’s a badge of honour. Consistent imperfect action will get you further than occasional perfect action.
Just doing exercises for time. Rushing the exercise. Not taking enough rest. Sacrificing form to lift the same as the person next to you. And they are usually very poorly programmed. Look up exercise redundancy 👀
Saying that taking care of yourself isn’t a priority doesn’t feel good, so you say you don’t have time.
Toned muscles = having muscle mass.

So much confusion. So many dos and don’ts.
All exercise is good for you. But if you want to keep your independence as you age you need to lift weights.
You’re not going to get bulky. You’re going to get strong.
When your daughter wants to spend time with you on holiday 🙌
Yes that is the box I needed to reach the bar 😂
You don’t have to be comfortable all the time and you don’t have to run away from the feeling of discomfort whether that’s just sitting with uncomfortable feelings and emotions or pushing yourself past where you would normally give up.
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
Genetics don’t get you in the gym, genetics don’t give you work ethic, genetics don’t give you discipline.
If you want your kids to have a healthy life, you have to live it yourself.
Don’t use your kids as a reason not to take care of yourself.
Make your health a priority and they will do the same.
Had to use this audio 😂 in my Battle Dwarf era
