If you've ever felt like you need a holiday after the holidays because the disruption has thrown you so far of kilter that you're in freefall... You're not alone. Getting back on plan after some time away can almost feel harder than when you started in the first place, but don't worry, we're here to talk you through it!
Just visit The Concierge Desk at https://blog.focusedpt.co.uk/home to find out more!
Nobody's perfect. Except Jeff. Jeff never does anything wrong... 😬
No single part of any system should be so important and powerful that doing or not doing it is enough to ruin the system. We're talking fitness programmes, meal plans, work schedules, or just figuring out how to stay on top of your laundry.
If eating one meal that's off plan is enough to send you into a week long spiral, then that meal plan was always destined to fail. If missing a workout makes you feel like you should just give up entirely, maybe you're putting too many expectations on yourself.
We know you want fast results, and the fastest way to get results is to go hard and be perfect for as long as you can manage, but 50% perfection 100% of the time will get you a lot further than 100% perfection 50% of the time. Not mathematically, mathematically they're completely the same, but trust us as mathematically imperfect humans, slow and steady is always the way to win. 🥇🐢
We're often presented this idea on social media that you have to give 100% of your soul to everything you do, but Coach Mike disagrees. Sometimes showing up is more effective than showing off, and though we LOVE it when our clients give a session their absolute all, we're much more interested in quiet consistency and making everyday fitness a priority.

Last month it was announced that the NHS will be launching a 'Marathon a Month' challenge to try and get people up and moving every day. We think this is a great idea, because we all know fitness doesn't have to look like going to the gym 7 days a week and lifting as heavy as possible, just walking for half an hour a day is a really effective way of keeping your metabolism moving and your body healthy.
So we've made a very simple walking calculator for you that you can use to track how far you've walked and how much you need to walk each day for the rest of the month to meet your 42km goal.
If you want a copy, just leave a comment with the word 'marathon' in it, and we'll send you download links straight to your inbox!

It's not too late to sign up to our FRIENDLY competition! Events are scalable to all experience and confidence levels, all we want is that you get a good sweat on, challenge yourself, and have fun in a safe and supportive atmosphere. AND as an added bonus, you'll be raising money for Eastleigh Borough and Romsey MENCAP. Good for you body, good for your spirit, and good for society... What more could you ask for on a Saturday morning?!?
If you haven't booked yet, reach out to the coaching team - details on what's happening and how to make your donations should be in your email inbox already.
And don't forget even if you can't make it, you can donate to charity anyway!
Sometimes the coaches tell you what to do, and sometimes you get to tell them what to do. I like those days the best. Big props to Mike for being a good sport when I asked the clients not to out away their own equipment so I could make him do it! 😇
We're back with more of the fundamentals of gym workouts that you're likely to come across if you're working with a personal trainer. Jodie runs us through a gym favourite - the deadlift.

I know, grammar and fitness are hardly the same thing, but when it comes to weight loss, this one tiny difference in how you structure your sentences might be the solution you're after.
Go to https://blog.focusedpt.co.uk/post/why-youre-struggling-to-lose-weight to find out more, or comment 'grammar' and we'll send the link straight to your inbox!
